2. TRAIN from Nha Trang to Phan Thiet (Binh Thuan)

The disadvantage of this transfer is that the trains leave from the city of Nha Trang, which is about 40 km from the city of Cam Ranh. Cam Ranh also has train stations namely Ngã Ba and Suối Cát.

This option therefore takes more time than traveling by bus and is not very advantageous due to the multiple transfers. May be suitable only if you were in Nha Trang city.
