Thanks for sharing those pictures of the city today as they blow my mind as to how it looks considering what it looked like in 1964-65. As a Huey pilot I flew in and out of Nha Trang many times. We used to low level up the beach coming in and going out and check out all the girls in their bikini's. I usually (made up) found an excuse of a maintenance problem when we got close so we could spend the night in a hotel there. My CO use to try and not send me on any mission near Nha Trang as he knew we wouldn't back until sometime the next day. Some really good times there even in the midst of a war.

Very nice images, Blast. That public parking job is the best example of the “first in, last out” principle of parking.

I seem to remember about 4 or maybe 5 floors at the Nha Trang hotel. The only thing I recognize from your shots is the one of the fish mongers. Positively amazing what a few years can do.

Wow....I would love to visit there some day. Your images are very exciting and I love Asian Fish Markets as they are extremely colorful and diverse. All of their shopping areas are photographic goldmines as I recall from the war days.
lucky you and more please if you can......thanks.

Nice work, makes one wonder just why there was ever a war there, or for that matter anywhere.

Thanks Smudgy. Its absolutely hard to believe there was a war. Most of the younger generations, <40, have no recollection of that war, best for them since they're doing better than their parents

A lot of changes to be sure but the first thing that came to mind when you mentioned Nha Trang was the SMELL!!! I still recall that smell that assaulted us when the back of the C130 opened. smdh

LOL, we landed at Phu Cat and when they opened the doors to the C-141,there was that same damn smell. Now the only odorous smell is of fish and that's if your in the fish market, nice place.
