10Thank you to everyone and the host moderator for this valuable information. I will use the DAT MOI bus service early Sunday morning for a flight from Cam Ranh to Bangkok on Air Asia. Should I buy the ticket in advance or on the bus?
HI Rich, thanks for your commnent! I would recommend to visit their office at 10 Yersin Street (goo.gl) on Saturday or even before. This way you can make sure that there are no changes to the bus schedule and know the exact time of when to be there. I just sent the Dat Moi a message to inform about the exact schedule. Once I get a reply I will update this article with the new info. Safe travels!
Hi Rich! You can buy your bus ticket from their office at 10 Yersin Street at Nha Trang city center. This is also the Dat Moi bus terminal, so you can just buy the ticket before boarding the bus. Have a great trip!
Hi the hotel charges 47 net pick up from airport. Do you know any good reliable taxi website that I can book online? Thanks Mya
Hi Mya,
I have no idea which currency you use, but if you use EUR/USD it would be close to 1.000.000VND what is way too expensive. I would recommend you to book a taxi with Klook. This platform provides reliable services and receives good reviews for the taxi from Cam Ranh Aiport to Nha Trang city center (klook.com). Costs are only 220.000 VND (€8,50).
Alternately you will likely find one at the airport for 300.000 VND ($13).
Hi. My flight is arriving at 2 am. I saw in Dichung Taxi website the price increases because the hour and can be some expensive. Does anyone know if I can get a taxi for less than 300 000 vnd at 2am? How common is to share taxi with other people to go to the city from the airport?
Hi Natalia! At that time it will be hard to find a taxi for only 200.000 and at the end I think it’s also not a bad rate if you pay a night driver 300.000 for a 45min drive. Shared taxi at that time will be hard to find but maybe you can ask your fellow passengers on the same flight if they want to share a taxi. How you will find a good solution!
the bus to the airport starts downtown and makes its way to the bridge over the river. where comes the 86 Tran Phu / hospital location from in your blog?
Thanks for the heads up! I updated the page and now made a clear difference between the two different buses. The Airport bus stops arrives/departs next to the Military hospital at 86 Tran Phu). The Dat Moi bus arrives indeed in the center, next to the stadium at Yersin street.
does the dot moi bus stop at regalia hotel nha thrang?
Hi Alerie, Regalia Nha Trang Hotel is located between the bus stops at Hoang Dieu and Tran Phu. You can check with the driver if they can drop you off right in front of Regalia Hotel. If not, you can get off at Tran Phu bus stop and take a 10-minute walk back to the hotel.
Many thanks for this update Robert! I just updated the page!
Hi Katina! Thanks for sharing your experience! Very sad to hear that the taxi overcharged you so much! This happens quite often in Nha Trang and that's also why we recommend to agree on a price in advance. Another alternative would be to book a taxi for only 210.000 VND with Klook (klook.com).
Thanks a lot for the suggestion! You were totally right indeed, Military hospital is South of Nha Trang. Just changed it in the text! Have a safe trip!
Hi Sarah, thanks for your comments. It's very sad to hear you couldn't even trust the police officer! Good that you waited at the end:).
“Thanks!!! it helps alot!!!”
