Russian Pensioners Flock to Vietnam for Winter
Russian pensioners, particularly from cities like Novosibirsk, Irkutsk, and Tyumen, are increasingly spending their winters in the Vietnamese resort town of Nha Trang. Dubbed 'migratory grandmothers' or 'madams', they find that their Russian pensions allow for a comfortable life, including tourism and dining out, due to lower living costs. The phenomenon has gained attention as local media reports a significant increase in older tourists this season.5 sourcesSee all sources
