Thanks for sharing 🙏🙏

Go to both of them; they are both great and quite different from each other. I love them both.

[@eddiejaoude]

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

[@DianHuang]

The dtv visa? Congrats!

[@eddiejaoude]

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

[@LeeviKiviranta-i1c]

Some European countries get 45 days visa exemption to Vietnam 😀. i´ve been in both countries many times, but nowadays more interested about Vietnam...

[@DianHuang]

Ohh thats nice!

[@KaioFalcrow]

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

[@mrbHanoi]

7-11 is way way better

[@TravelChanelBangkokThailand]

Great Video 🙏🤩 Vietnam do have many stores similar 7/11 . They are called " Circle K "

[@phanle2870]

Circle K, Winmart, GS25, Ministop, FamilyMart, Aeon citymart, Th True Mart, Cheer, Co.op Smile, Speed L, Bách Hoá Xanh…

[@Creees]

[@NomadicDanny]

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!

[@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.

[@kkk80423]

You're lying.

[@Goodvibes808]

Vietnam has so many convenience stores like 7/11, family mart and gs25 All 24/7 and set up like Japan

[@DianHuang]

Thanks for the info :) never heard of gs25 before, will check it out

[@mrbHanoi]

Gs 25 korean mostly in HCMC, not Hanoi

[@phanle2870]

Some more FYI: Circle K, Winmart, GS25, Ministop, FamilyMart, Aeon citymart, Th True Mart, Cheer, Co.op Smile, Speed L, Bách Hoá Xanh…

Great video! I agree with you. Both amazing places to be. Slightly off topic but also very curious about Cambodia, right in betweem. Have never been there before :)

[@magicfire1]

Love vietnam and thailand

[@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.

[@Creees]

@@unknownmanfrommars7443 in central vietnam february is sooooo cold. but towards the end of February and March there are hot days again, but 100% bring winter clothes

[@Sonnguyen1961]

I recommend,,to any foreigners want to lives in peace’s with seashores,,,Da Nang or Phu Quoc or. Nha Trang ,,in Ho Chi Minh City to much crown peoples ,,and also ,,to myself I loves Thailand 🇹🇭,,,and now 7 eleven in Ho Chi Minh now and there are have ,,circle in Saigon as well

[@Budismo7917]

South east asia its fun,beautiful forest nature,beaches and beautiful buddhist temples. I went to 🇹🇭 a few years ago coming from a very far place in latinamerica it was the best decision of my life it is like a whole new world and it feels like you are in a different planet away from everything you know and its a time for experienced new things in life. 🇻🇳 looks like a interesting place i want to visited someday but also i will like to go back to 🇹🇭🙏🏻❤️again party life its the best in thailand

[@Sonnguyen1961]

We are thinks between ,,Thailand 🇹🇭 and to talker about in lives in Vietnam 🇻🇳,,and any foreigners to come my country in 90 days with visa

[@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.

[@tylerd8245]

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.

[@DianHuang]

Thank you for sharing :)

[@phanle2870]

But quite expensive compared to Grab or Xanh SM (electrical car order by app)

[@Creees]

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. Sooo cold in February, bring warm clothes. only 30% of the country is tropical

[@tylerd8245]

​@@Creees I never said it was available in all cities, nor did I imply one city represented the entire country.

[@vuavietnam]

October is the best time to travel to Hanoi

[@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.

[@hoailuuthi4211]

​@@TrungNguyen-ul8gmmày cũng đến Thailan ở luôn đi cho đỡ chật đất vn

[@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

[@wichpasgangate854]

🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭

[@mrgingerman6020]

Vietnam is cheaper but Thailand wins in every other category. Imo the people are not friendly or welcoming in Vietnam they don't smile, they look at you with a blank expression.

[@ThanhNam-nk2xq]

Thai people laugh because of tourists' money, they don't smile sincerely , and Vietnamese people smile more sincerely , not fake like Thai people

[@Emilycolea1]

​@@ThanhNam-nk2xq Totally agree that Thai people live fake lives. I am from UK and have traveled to both countries

[@freyafoxmusic]

[@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.

[@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

Thailand is better digital Nomad destination 😊 and Thailand has lot of options also. Vietnam is not better than Thailand. Thailand has everything and Bangkok is international destinations for foreigners especially

[@TrungNguyen-ul8gm]

Agree!

[@TravelChanelBangkokThailand]

Thailand is more developed. But Vietnam is more cheaper . And Cambodia 2 times cheaper than Vietnam. Value for Money 💰 🤩🙏

[@Creees]

yes yes please listen this guy. all annoying foreigners follow this guys lead. we dont need these type of people in vietnam always comparing and wanting to change countries to suit them

[@mymaster2176]

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)

Thailand increased the visa exemption from 30 to 60 days. Not visa

[@gabres19871]

Vietnam visa is a mess... I already lost the mood for vietnam... Big turn off u have no visa on arrival as in thailand

[@DianHuang]

Is the process for visa extension inconvenient in vietnam?

[@gabres19871]

I lived 6years in Thailand,I was living in the Philippines for 2years. I was in Malaysia,Laos,Mianmar for a few days and never ever had to deal with any visa problems. If U are doing visa on arrival from reflex without thinking then U will end up with a big surprise... As it's not working like that haha The only 1country all over Asia(included even China and Taiwan) where visa on arrival is not available

[@1greenMitsi]

I get 60 days visa free on arrival in Thailand but prefer to pay a little for evisa and get 90 days in vietnam

Top 5 most visited country in SEA for year 2023 are : 1.Malaysia 2.Thailand 3.Singapore 4.Indonesia 5.Vietnam🎉

[@traveller711-q6f]

Edit: You forgot Bangkok is the most visited city in the world. So your list is not accurate

[@1greenMitsi]

@@traveller711-q6f I bet the 'visited' include tourists going to KL just for connecting flights so yeah not accurate

[@Creees]

@@traveller711-q6f you dont get it. why do the countries need to compete. the SEA countries are Buddhist and work together. its our western country bullshit that we need to be better than everyone. if this is the attitude of people living in thailand then thai will be not a nice to place to live within a decade as well because you foreigners changed it. i kind of like all the foreigners to be hurled upin thailand though so please keep telling your friends and comrades that thailand is the best and only come to thailand

[@phamductri]

Half of the tourists to Malaysia are Singaporeans who do their weekends run, which is just one bridge away. Exclude these Singaporeans the real tourist arrivals to Malaysia is around 13 million visit, far far below Thailand or Vietnam.

[@piputnmesawang3015]

Definitely Thailand, delicious food, beautiful beaches,nice rooftop bar,going around and friendly people.
