I personally feel that Vietnam is more energetic. There are lots of small children and young people. When I go to any shops in Vietnam, the owner usually has their family members of small children or school kids in their shops. I feel that is an ideal style of human life. I feel Thailand is similar to Japan(both people are shy and don't talk too much, both countries have the problem of aging society and low birthrates, too much emphasis on cosmetic plastic surgeries )but Vietnam has something Japan has lost(family bond, number of children etc).

I am Japanese living in Thailand. I've been to Vietnam many times. I agree to your opinion that the service in Vietnam is faster. I often change clothes in a day (because I sweat a lot and I don't like to wear wet cloths) so I often go to the laundry shops. In Vietnam laundry can be done in a day without any extra charge whereas in Thailand, they usually charge extra. About padthai, I saw many local people eating it. I happened to hear a foreign student asking a Thai teacher if padthai is only for foreigners but the teacher clearly denied and said Thai people also eat it. I personally like Vietnam better than Thailand. One of the reasons is that Thailand is so crowded with foreign tourists. I feel the place is artificially unnaturally made for foreigners and the prices are so expensive. I'm a person who doesn't like crowded places and artificial touristic places (DaNang also has a popular night market but I don't like it. But Vietnam still has a lot of places for locals). Thai people don't mind small things and they can forgive others easy. This is a good virtue but sometimes it doesn't work positively(this is just my opinion)

You are in a wrong area, Lady. Ho Chi Minh city is a place for business and not met for tourist. Its where many countries investors open their business in Ho Chi Minh city and It's also the most crowded city in Vietnam. Danag, Sapa, Nha Trang, Phu Quoc, Marble Mountain, and Ha Long Bay are built for tourists. Go to Ho Chi Minh city for your vacation is like going to Sydney Australia or New York in the US as for your vacation. But Vietnam don't have violent crime like the US and many countries around the World. But Vietnam do have a lot of petty theft but that goes to all The country around the World when local peoples know you are from another country and would take advantage of you because you are a foreigners. You didn't do no research before traveling to Vietnam.

@@BinhLe-bz2eu The first time I visited Ho Chi Minh City before COVID-19, I fell in love with the place as a tourist. Three years later, I found a job in HCMC and had more than a year to experience what it's like to be an expat and a tourist in Vietnam. A lot of people forget that not everyone likes beach holidays; many are looking for real culture. This is why places like Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia are so popular-they offer unique cultures, not just fancy hotels and beaches. In the past year, I never experienced theft. While I know theft happens a lot at the beaches of Nha Trang, Ho Chi Minh City is relatively safe. We occasionally forgot our possessions in restaurants or local cafes and were always reminded to take them with us. Just keep an eye on your stuff in touristy places, and you'll be alright. I want to remind you that everything I share in my videos is based on my personal experience, so please respect my opinions and experiences.💜 And yeah, what's wrong with going to New York or Sydney on holiday? I would love to do that! 😂

Foreigners being stopped by police while on motorcycles in Vietnam is a common occurence, you were just very lucky. If you don't have the international DL then they will ticket you unless you pay the bribe, which is why they stopped you in the 1st place. Especially this happens on Cat Ba and in the highlands near the Chinese border. You have to be extremely lucky not to get stopped. Happens almost as much in Thailand. This is all while on motor bikes.

To legally a motor vehicle in Thailand, one needs both a valid driver's licence and an international driver's permit. As for motorcycle shops renting motorcycles without them verifying one has the appropriate motor vehicle licence and international driver's permit, well that is on you. Thailand is not a nanny state. Also in Thailand, airlines do not check that you have the necessary visa before selling you a plane ticket. Shops do not check that you have the appropriate qualifications when selling you plumbing supplies or electrical equipment.
@businessmalie3 ай бұрын
Fair enough, but careless tourists often run into trouble with their licence. Fortunately, the fines aren't too high. 😄 Speaking of visa checks-my friend, who is a refugee, was trying to board a plane to the UK from Bangkok. He had a printed invitation, but they almost didn't let him in because he didn't have a visa (he spent two hours explaining that as a refugee, he couldn't obtain one). He nearly missed his flight because of it. So, sometimes, out of the blue, they decide to be strict and check everything🤣

Personally, I haven't had any problems, but I've seen people share bad experiences in group chats😇Maybe it depends on luck.

I have lives in Thailand for 14 years. Visited other countries in Asia. I love the Vietnamese people, the country and food. The only negative about VN is the noisy traffic. I find the Thai people a lot more reserved but friendly when you get to know them. I personally don't like Thai food very much. for a number of reasons. Thailand is is a beautiful. But VN is more beautiful I have commitments in Thailand otherwise I would be living Vietnam. I will never forget the lovely people. I still have contact with 5 VN people and would be !0 years since I last went to Vietnam.

I definitely prefer Thai food to Vietnamese, but I think Vietnamese food is healthier. I’m not vegetarian, but I fell in love with vegetarian food in Vietnam. It's great that Vietnam holds a special place in your heart and that you still keep in touch with friends from Vietnam after so many years. Maybe someday you’ll get a chance to visit again!💜
