Thailand for me
Hi Trance,
I have visited Vietnam 2 times in the last couple of years. I have a mate who works in Saigon so I got to visit the bar scene. During the day his girlfriend took me around on her motorbike to show me the sights.
I found the bar/nightclub scene very lively but!!!! unless you stay in an hotel that is paying the cops off you cannot take a Vietnamese back to you room. What I had to do sometimes was pay for 2 rooms.
People have been busted for this although you can pay off the cops.
My mate from Saigon goes to Thailand about once every couple of months for some Thai lovin as he calls it and he has a very attractive Vietnamese girlfriend.
I think the Thai women are more attractive than the Vietnamese women and for me Thailand is much more laid back.
Didn't find much difference in the price of food, accomodation etc and I travelled from South to North of Vietnam.
The girls in Saigon are much prettier than the girls in Hanoi IMHO.
For me if I was a backpacker I would go to Vietnam but as far as the holiday/bar scene goes Thailand is the place for me.
I also had to get a visa for Vietnam from the embassy in Australia for each trip and they aren't cheap whereas in Thailand I can just rock up.
But, as the girls say in Thailand - Up to you-
