Where can travelers try snake blood and cobra dishes in Nha Trang?

One participant recalled trying snake blood on a snake-farm excursion, though they were not sure whether it was in Vietnam or Thailand. If you are considering this option, ask the organizer exactly where the farm is and whether the tasting is part of the programme.

According to a participant in August 2026, tour agencies in Nha Trang offer this as a separate experience, but the price is steep. Before booking, ask for the full price and what it includes.

A traveler who tried cobra described the tasting: first the blood and a still-beating heart are served, his wife tried the bile, and then dishes are cooked from the meat. In his words, there is not much to eat on a cobra — it is very bony. He said he and his wife enjoy trying unusual local food and found the experience fun.

Participants' experiences afterwards differed. The traveler who tried cobra with his wife said they had no side effects at all. Another recalled being sick all night after a tasting at a snake farm. Raw blood and organs can be hard on the stomach, so weigh the decision against your own health.
