Based on 2 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 1 day ago
TL;DR
September in Nha Trang is rainy season: showers are usually short (30-60 min), mostly in the afternoon, temps stay around 28-32°C (82-90°F), and the sea can get rough for a few days at a time. If booking flights independently (not through a travel agency), buy travel insurance separately online.

The same traveler asked whether to buy travel insurance separately when booking flights independently (not through a travel agency) — a relevant question, since independent bookings don't include insurance by default, unlike some tour packages.
