Hot spring at Ba Đùi, Khánh Bình district

Suố Nước Nóng Nhân Tâm 2 hot spring is located in Ba Đùi village, Khánh Bính district, 45km from Nha Trang.  Entrance fee to the large pool is 30,000 dong.

There are also open air bath tubs for couples and large groups, and indoor bath tubs.  Drinks and cold beer are available, but food is not.  They did try providing meals, but it was uneconomic. 

The pool is shallow and suitable for children and for bathing, but is too shallow to swim. It is best to visit in the morning to avoid rain.  During the wet season it usually rains here in the early afternoon and access can be cut after heavy rain. 

The motor bike ride there is half the fun. Go to Ngã Ba Thành (Thành T-junction) 9kms west of Nha Trang, turn north on Highway 1 to the first traffic lights 1.5km down the road. Turn left and follow 30km to Khanh Binh town. At the north end of town take the right fork, which is the road to Dục Mỹ. After 5kms turn at the only left turn, cross two creeks after half a km and turn first left . The hot springs are 400 metres down the road.  

NOTE: there are presently NO sign posts.  The large signpost that was in Ba Dui village has been stolen to help make somebody's house.
 

Mr Hai Thai's Historic House (Nhà Cổ Ông Hai Thái)

Mr Hai Thai's Historic House

Built in 1925, this large, 300 square metre house is situated on large grounds in Suoi Tien village, 22km SE of Nha Trang.  Entrance fee is 20,000 dong, free motor bike parking.

Over the years the house has been put to many purposes, including being used as a school.  A former teacher is now a director of  the Yasaka Saigon Nha Trang Hotel, which now operates the site under licence as a 'social business', in order to preserve it rather than to make a profit.  

 

The house faces north, has a wide veranda on the front and two sides, five large living rooms in the front and four small bedrooms on the south side. A separate kitchen and toilets are behind the house.  Mr Hai Thai built the house when the area was still inhabited by tigers, and planted a farm. 










Visitors' facilities include a very nice swimming pool, picnic shelters,

and a restaurant serving cheap, light meals.  
It also serves as the staff canteen at lunch time.  Try the tasty Saigon rolls (Сhả giò)

Rooms of doubtful comfort are available to rent for 300,000 dong/night.






To get here, go to Dien Khanh township 10km west of Nha Trang, pass through the Ancient Citadel ( Thành Cổ Diên Khánh), go 4km to Dien Phuoc commune. Look out for two tourist signs saying Suoi Tien 6km, Nha Co Ong Hai Thai 4.5km (incorrect, it's 6.5km) and turn left following these signs.
