I cannot say anything about how they handled it in general with lockdowns and all of that. But there is a story how they quarantined multiple dutch (and other nationalities) people in a dirty hotel guarded by the army[0]. I mean .. yeah they may do well, but I'd prefer the messy political situation that 'has lost control of the situation' over getting locked up by the Vietnamese government.
I was in Thailand at the time of the outbreak and flew back at the beginning of this month, so I agree that I'm a bit biased. But I was supposed to fly to Vietnam for a few days (and Korea) but decided to not go since unlike Thailand this story put me off and I applied for a Visa extension in Thailand instead. I don't see how Thailand lost control of the situation. Furthermore, at least in Thailand I didn't have to worry about getting locked up. All other extra step the Vietnamese government did is also something Thailand did.
Obviously we are discussing something based on our own perception and based on numbers that may or may not be true. So in the end it doesn't change anything and I don't want to say you are wrong. I'm merely trying to put things in perspective. :)
