TL;DR
Yes, theft from bags and lockers during massages is a real issue in Nha Trang. Don't leave cash unattended — take only what you need or leave valuables at your hotel.
A traveler reported money stolen directly from a supposedly locked locker in a Nha Trang massage parlor. The theft happens while the client is occupied during the session and cannot check their belongings.
Theft was reported at the Lily massage salon in Nha Trang. The victim had counted her cash just before the session, so she knew exactly how much was taken. During a full-body massage, her bag was placed in a box out of sight — that's when the money disappeared.
General tip: don't bring large amounts of cash to massage parlors in Nha Trang. Leave valuables in your hotel safe and only carry the exact amount needed to pay for the session.
