In this blog post, I journaled my 8 days spending breakdown while travelling in Nha Trang, Vietnam.
Keep in mind that I used my Marriott 7-night category 4 certificate here. That means Karen and myself didn’t pay for accommodation during our time here.

Vietnam is a relatively cheap travel destination. If I didn’t pay for both Karen and my domestic flights in the country, I would have saved even more money.
Also, we took Vietnam Airlines which is the more pricy airlines. I’ve taken Jetstar Airways before and it wasn’t bad. I think if you want to save money on flights in Vietnam, you probably want to buy your flight ticket from Jetstar Airways or Vietjet.
The main reason I went with Vietnam Airlines is because they’re more reliable and we can catch our connecting flight out of the country on time.
Conclusion
If you’re looking for a budget friendly travel destination, Vietnam is definitely a great place to visit. Nha Trang is great if you want to be a tourist and not a backpacker.
You can do sight seeing, eating local foods, and getting spa treatments without breaking the bank. So if you want to travel like a tourist, then Nha Trang might be the choice for you.
