How much should you budget per day for a trip to Nha Trang, Vietnam, excluding shopping?

For low-cost meals, use local family-run cafés: a large bowl of soup was reported at about RUB 5–6, while a large plate with chicken, tuna, fish, or shrimp plus vegetables and a side dish cost around RUB 9–15.

In Nha Trang, local Saigon beer was reported at roughly RUB 30 for 0.5 L. As another dining benchmark, a meal at Bong Crazy for three people, with two dishes and drinks each, came to around RUB 1,300–1,700.

Optional leisure costs can be modest: an hour-long massage in Nha Trang was reported at about RUB 650, while a full-day visit to I-Resort or the 100 Eggs complex with pools cost roughly RUB 1,500 for three people.

One accommodation benchmark for a daily budget: a room at a four-star hotel with a good breakfast cost about RUB 2,500 per night.

The newest budget estimate says that in Nha Trang, and Vietnam generally, daily spending stayed below USD 100 as long as shopping was excluded. That level was described as enough for regular holiday expenses like food and getting around.

Compared with Phuket, taxis in Nha Trang were described as extremely cheap. If local transport is a big part of your travel budget, Nha Trang is generally the more affordable option.

Another cost comparison says that in Vietnam, including Nha Trang, alcohol, cigarettes, taxis, and food can be at least 2 times cheaper than in pricier resort destinations like Phuket. That makes Nha Trang a strong choice for budget-conscious travelers.
