Find your place in Vietnam

timi is a Nha Trang flea market and classifieds board for people who live here, spend the winter here or are still deciding whether to move. Sell what you no longer need before you leave or during a relocation, pick up cheap furniture after moving in, find a flat, rent a scooter or look for a handyman, all in one feed with filters for district and price.

Every listing comes from the owner and shows photos, a price, a district and a way to contact them. Posting your own takes a few minutes. If the thing you need is not in the feed yet, leave a request in the Wanted section and let sellers come to you. The site is built for expats, but tourists and long-stay visitors use it just as often.

Renting here usually follows one of two patterns. Monthly rentals suit anyone staying for a season or longer: expect a deposit of about one month, the first month paid in advance and a minimum term that is often three months. Daily rentals fit a holiday or your first days in town, while you look for something permanent.

Before you pay a deposit, view the place in person or on a video call and put the terms in writing. Electricity and water are usually billed separately from the rent, so ask about the rate in advance.

Most motorbikes for sale in Nha Trang are automatic scooters such as the Honda Vision, Lead, Air Blade and PCX, or the Yamaha NVX. People buy, sell and rent them by the day, week or month. Private owners are often more flexible than rental shops, while shops will swap the bike if it breaks down. Renting by the month is usually much cheaper than by the day.

You need a licence that covers motorbikes, so check what your home licence or an international permit allows. Before buying, inspect the paperwork, brakes, tyres and general condition. When renting, ask about the deposit and what the price includes.

Apartments in Nha Trang are offered both in seafront towers and in small mini-houses away from the beach. Studios and apartments with a pool tend to cost more, while rooms and flats in West and South Nha Trang help keep a budget small.

The site covers seven areas: the Centre, North Nha Trang, Hon Chong, South Nha Trang, An Vien, Bai Dai with Cam Ranh, and West Nha Trang. Pick a district in the filter and compare price, bedrooms and terms. Check the distance to the sea, shops and the market, and whether there is room to park a bike.

The things section moves fastest: fridges, washing machines, furniture, kids goods, sports gear and electronics. Many items are sold by people leaving town, so you can often furnish a whole flat from one farewell sale at a fair price.

Jobs in Nha Trang include service and tourism vacancies, remote tasks and part-time gigs, and people looking for work can post a CV. Always clarify pay and working conditions, and remember that work permits and visas follow Vietnamese rules, not verbal promises.
