I agree. Thai food is great too but Bun Cha and Bun Thit Nuong are possibly the 2 best things I have ever tried in my life.

Great vlog. I have been to Vietnam once pretty recently but been to Thailand 4 times. Both wonderful countries but definitely loved Thailand more, However, Vietnam has a lot of wonderful places to visit

I've just travelled both. Not full backpacker style, but I spent time in each country. Kind of like comparing coffee to pizza. Very different qualities. I was really surprised how much more 'hardcore' vietnam was by comparison. No sidewalks. Less tourist infrastructure. Less English. But the biggest thing was the struggle was REAL among the locals in vietnam. Most of the people in Saigon seemed perilously close to abject poverty. Thailand by comparison just never gave me that vibe. Sure there were beggers etc, but overall it all felt closer to modern China or even Japan. Vietnam felt like India. Overall Thailand is better for 'holiday' and to hook up with girls. But my travel war stories ALL came from vietnam ahaha. I could buy codeine from the local pharmacy no questions asked. I also got a dental crown for like $100. Thailand was just like the west but with more asians and better prices

I am Vietnamese, our country actually stopped war and gunfire in 1989 (border conflict with China) and developed explosively since 1995 when the United States stopped the embargo. Therefore, Vietnam has only been developing for 29 years, and the economic scale in 2024 will be 40 times greater than in 1995. That is the hard work and quality of East Asian peoples.

I also like the fact that Vietnam has more large and interesting cities compared to Thailand, which with the exception of Bangkok and maybe Chiang Mai, doesn't have that many appealing cities at all. Vietnam has many beautiful cities such as Hanoi, Saigon, Da Nang, Hue, Nha Trang, Dalat... just to name a few

Yes, the sea and beaches are better in Thailand, there’s no competition in my experience. I’ve never been to the far North of Vietnam. Maybe I will one day but I like hotter climates so it’s never appealed to me as much, Vietnam is an amazing place but for different reasons.

@@joshbonthemove Vietnam appears to be cleaner and the infrastructure, especially the side streets appears to be up to date. Not to mention the smell. Thailand has the burn-off months, where as Vietnam does not.

One thing you should have mentioned: Vietnam opened to tourists more than 30 years but international tourists have never gotten raped or killed in Vietnam and Thailand you should check it yourself.

You should rewatch the video and listen to what I actually said. I said Vietnamese history was fascinating. How long does someone need to have been there to warrant having an opinion? I’ve spent months in Vietnam in total, been up and down the country twice, visited numerous museums, spoken with locals, and learned about the 'Resistance War against America'… what did I say that’s upset you, that I preferred Thailand!? 🥲
