TL;DR
When booking an intercity bus from Nha Trang, check the seat count first: fewer seats usually means a much more comfortable ride. Travelers recommend asking for a 22-cabin bus and avoiding 32-seat and especially 51-seat three-row layouts, which are considered very cramped.
The latest tip is to verify what the label under the bus listing actually means and confirm the interior layout before paying. Even if the booking page is in Vietnamese and English, the key is to check the seat count so you do not accidentally book a three-row bus.
You can buy tickets at almost any travel agency in Nha Trang, on Trip.com, or directly from the bus company. On the Nha Trang–Da Nang route, travelers found the 51-seat Futa Bus very cramped because of the three-row layout. The much better option was a 22-cabin bus, and they recommend asking for exactly '22 cabin' when booking.
Another practical rule is to avoid 32-seat buses. These are usually arranged in three rows, and the berths are narrower and less comfortable than in lower-capacity buses.
