I got my 5 year Thai visa 🎉, we can’t wait to head there this winter. Who else is going?

The dtv visa? Congrats!

[@eddiejaoude]

@@DianHuang thank you! no more visa runs required lol.

[@mymaster2176]

I used to like Thailand but after moving to Thailand, I don't love Thailand so much anymore for many reasons(I still think that Thailand has a lot of good points and Thailand is a good place for short stay as a tourist. ) I like Vietnam much better than Thailand and I decided to move to Vietnam next month (of course my feeling to Vietnam may change. But I travel to Vietnam many times and I found Vietnam is better for me) Unlike old Japanese, I'm not interested in Thai ladies, I'm a very serious person who don't like drinking alcohol, going to bars. I think it tottalty depends on your personality and your personal preference that which country is better.

[@kimsaang4013]

I have 4 friends in England and Germany, they married Thai women, after the Thai women came abroad they tried to falsely accuse their husbands of abuse to divorce them to take half of their husbands' assets and look for younger men.

[@leefonda6203]

I love Thailand, except the 6 trade. I found it be demeaning to me and the girls who were trying to sell themselves.

Really informative!! :D I think in Vietnam they have Circle K, which is similar to 7-Eleven.

Great point you made about the taxi drivers. I had a taxi driver rig the meter in Hanoi - which turned into quite a hostile situation. I'd never heard of Hoi An until watching this video - sounds like a great place. - The night time river boat sounds great. Would love to check it out. Thanks for sharing!

[@melee75]

Do you recommend Northern and Central Vietnam in March and April? I'm trying to avoid the burning season pollution.

[@DianHuang]

I prefer Central

[@unknownmanfrommars7443]

- March in northern Vietnam is cold, humid, often overcast and foggy. The only thing beautiful during this period is that the trees start to grow leaves again, around mid and late March, before that the trees are bare, the sky is overcast so taking pictures is not good. - April is quite similar to March but warmer. - May is the time when most trees in northern Vietnam bloom so it is very beautiful. As a local I think March and April should be the time to avoid

[@melee75]

@@unknownmanfrommars7443 How about January and February?

[@unknownmanfrommars7443]

@@melee75 It's winter in Northern Vietnam: - December: Shiny, dry and cold, heavy fog in the morning, easiest time to witness cloud of sea in mountainous area. At night ice and frost might appear. - January: coldest month, mostly dry and cloudy, sun might appear depends on days. Snowy weather have highest chance to appear in this time, be careful with icy and slippery roads on mountainous areas. - February: nearly exactly similar to January, and have Tet, the Lunar New Year I highly recommend October to mid December in Northern Vietnam for best experience.

[@kowalski296]

Many Thai girls are sitting around with no one to drink with, clubs are closed. Many lonely men are leaving Thailand and going to Vietnam, where it is now cheaper and livelier, the Thai currency is very expensive and many tourists do not come to Thailand anymore.

[@Emilycolea1]

Thailand is better than Vietnam in terms of drugs, prostitution, lgbt. In Vietnam they ban those things. Other things like people, food, natural landscape, etc.. Thailand cannot be compared with Vietnam. I am a UK person who has traveled to both countries

[@Thanosss123a]

Well in Vietnam they don't ban lgbt things, it's not a Muslim country, they just don't recognize legally but you still can do whatever the gayest thing there as you wish.

If you do use the taxis in Vietnam, stick to the two reputable companies: Mai Linh and Vinasun. You can google the names to see what they took like. They are everywhere in the big cities.

i live in vietnam and i never see vinasun. maybe its a specific city not vietnams 58 provinces. dont make the mistake that one city should represent the whole country. the worst nonsense i heard is vietnam is hot all year round.

[@tantranghoangnguyen5908]

In terms of tourism industry, Thailand is better. But vietnam is catching up soon!!

[@Chr1s808]

I don’t think so. Tourism is very low for Vietnam lately and a lot of people don’t return after their first visit. The e-visa process is a major turn off to most travelers as well.

[@bunnyhelper7791]

Alot of people in Vietnam can speak French the younger generations can speak English ..

[@Chai.en.]

Vietnam’s future for 10 years more 20 years more will be not the same like thai land. Because their economy is not base on tourism as much as thai land. Their developing base on agriculture and industrial more like china, japan. So because of that thai land is more modern for tourists. and If you ask me about my opinion i will choose viet nam because their culture will be hold very tight, the gem is beaty just when is be hidden and vietnam is a special country in the world. When you travel to a place that they use their language more than english, you win

[@dimplypaprika7693]

I am considering retiring in Thailand in about 6 years. I will go there in December to see if I feel like it is a place that I can live. I am curious about possibly retiring in VN as well, but just something about being a communist country makes me a bit nervous. Being an American, I grew up hearing all these horror stories about communism. I'm sure it is probably ok, it just gives me a bit of pause considering Viet Nam.

[@fa11en1ce]

They're only communist in name only. It's still an authoritarian country, but I felt safer there than places I've been in the usa

[@TrungNguyen-ul8gm]

Thailand is better!

[@tanpham762]

Go to Dalat in VN. The weather there is cooler and you get fresh air there.

[@DevineOne]

It's less communist than England so in other words it isn't communist. You won't have to queue up for rations and everyone has a business. Believe me you will feel more free in Vietnam. It's one party yes but you don't get all the politics like in the US which to me is a good thing. Political power is not centralized but instead localized to each area from what I can see.

Vietnam went through hell in the past .. now Vietnam economy is passing Thailand amazing 😂

[@jameswhitewater6127]

Main difference .. Thailand is the largest Bordello in Asa, major drawfactor for male tourism .. Soi Cowbow & Pattaya comes to mind. In Vietnam, women are conservative, and cost of living relatively cheap, except for rental cost, designed to rip-off foreigners. Have lived in SE Asia about 26 years.

[@Creees]

thats so interesting. so cool you have lier here for almost three decades. which countiries have you lived in. which country has changed the most. Vietnam is my favourite by a very long way. its amazing and far more unique and special than Thailand which to me feels liek Thailand wants to be either Singapore or Western country and seems to be losing its exotic charm very very rapidly. Vietnam is changing too but it still strives to be Vietnam the Vietnamese way and wont bend for anyone

I am Japanese and I like Vietnam better than Thailand. I live in Thailand but I decided to move to Vietnam😂😂 I can't stand living in Thailand anymore. I feel Thai people welcome westerners more than Asian foreign people,some Thai people like to talk to Western ers but they are not interested in talking to Asian foreigners(some Japanese are the same though) The quality of air in Chiang Mai is much more terrible than any city I know in Vietnam. Traffic in Thailand is more terrible than traffic in Vietnam. Thai people are not as talkative, generous, friendly and helpful as Vietnamese people. Thai people may smile at strangers more but as a Japanese I sometimes feel strange because Japanese people don't have that habit Thai food is very tasty and has a lot of variety but lacks vegetables. Vietnamese food is healthier. Vietnamese language is easier for me to learn than Thai language. In the past Vietnamese used to use Chinese character, so Vietnamese is much easier for Japanese and Chinese people to learn. In Vietnam I don't see very old dirty cars which harms environment, where at in Thailand there are so many dirty old cars which destroy the environment. In Thailand there are too many lady boys and similar people in Vietnam I don't need to get sick of seeing unique people(in Thailand there are other kinds of people who often annoy me like people who are always moving. Their legs, people who are always coughing(Thai people suffering due to the bad air)
