People leave you alone in Vietnam. The times I've been in Thailand, people were always in my grill. Nobody seems particularly interest in me here, which coming from NYC is a treasured thing. When they are interested in you, it seems genuine, Thailand always feels insincere.
I've also never felt unsafe in Vietnam, except for once. I've been in a lot of dicey situations in Bangkok though.
I also feel like you are less likely to get ripped off in Vietnam, but that's a way lesser concern.
- geomark 11y agoThat's completely opposite of my experience. I guess we have to chalk it up to different people have different experiences. It's also hard to compare experiences as a tourist with those of a long term resident. If I attempt to aggregate various comments and my own experiences I think one of the few major differences is the visa situation. For younger people who aren't employed by a local business or married to a Thai citizen Thailand is a pain for a stay longer than 3 months.
