Tam Ky is in the Central Coast of Vietnam.
Big hotel, but rooms are smelly and a bit dirty (e.g., 4 mm dust layer on the TV screen and rusty shower). No way of keeping mosquitoes out. Wi-Fi patchy in some rooms.
New business in 19th-century French resort buildings. Offers dorm beds. Usually has a scooter or bicycles to rent/borrow. Mostly clean, steps from beach, friendly, but not glamorous. Not to be confused with "Tam Thanh Resort," which is at the main intersection.
By train
Tam Ky is a major stop on Vietnam's north-south reunification rail line, and is served by all trains running the HCMC-Hanoi and Hanoi-HCMC routes.
By bus
A local bus makes frequent runs from Da Nang to Tam Ky, possibly via Hoi An. Tam Ky is also an inevitable obstacle for virtually every bus moving along Vietnam's North-South highway 1.
Quang Nam state's network of semi-urban buses serves the city and surrounding areas, however routes and times are difficult to discern, and drivers will often refuse to board foreigners who only want to make short trips.
