Na Thrang, Vietnam
We spent the past 2 days in Na Thrang. To be honest Na Thrang is no where near what I expected. I was expecting something like Sihanouk Ville but instead I got Gold Coast :) A bit dissapointed at the fact that Na Thrang is so well developed, however a fellow traveller pointed out that it was unfair to me to expect something like Sihanouk Ville, it may be good for the tourist but the locals may want something like Na Thrang. In fact there won't be any place in the world like Sihanouk Ville because Cambodia is still largerly not developed and just recently embraced tourism. If you want to visit Cambodia do it soon before it all changes, especially the laid back personally of the country.
Unlike Sihanouk Ville the tourist attractions here are much more developed (none in Sihanouk Ville really, just beach parties everynight there), we did the awesome mud bath and today we spent the whole day visiting the islands, snorkeling and just lazing around the beaches. Na Thrang, I have to say is very picturesque.
In a few hours we're going to catch another sleeper traing to Da Nang then a bus to Hoi An, apparently a shopping mecca. One quick word about sleeper train, on the way from Saigon to Na Thrang was my first sleeper train experience, it was good and I kinda like it.
