For many tourists looking for a new destination in Southeast Asia instead of the familiar Thailand, Vietnam can be the perfect alternative. That is the opinion of Molly Toland, a female journalist with an article shared on Express - one of the oldest online newspapers in the UK.
Her sharing was summarized after a visit to Vietnam not long ago.
"Not only does Vietnam possess beautiful natural scenery, it also stands out for its diverse culture, rich history and many hidden gems that have not been fully exploited. In the eyes of many people, the S-shaped country is even superior to Thailand in many aspects," the female tourist commented.
According to the British female tourist, Thailand is known for its beautiful beaches. Meanwhile, Vietnam is not far behind.
These are dream beaches in Phu Quoc, Mui Ne or Hoi An. This place has many peaceful beaches, suitable for healing vacations.
In addition, Vietnam has 8 World Heritage Sites recognized by UNESCO. The most prominent is the ancient town of Hoi An, one of the bustling trading ports from the 15th to the 19th century.
Today, Hoi An is almost completely preserved, or visit Ha Long Bay with its turquoise waters and thousands of majestic limestone islands covered with green forests.
One of the experiences that many foreign visitors have recently enjoyed is exploring the " Ha Giang Loop". A journey to explore the northern highlands by motorbike with majestic mountain scenery, waterfalls, terraced fields and ethnic minority villages.
In terms of price, food and crowd, Toland believes that spending in Vietnam is more affordable, there are many delicious dishes and it is not as noisy as Thailand.
She assessed that the cost of travel, food and accommodation in Vietnam is generally cheaper than in Thailand. Vietnamese food is famous for being fresh, healthy and flavorful. Tourists can enjoy typical dishes such as pho, banh mi, and spring rolls at very reasonable prices.
Many cooking classes are held throughout the S-shaped country, where visitors can learn how to make traditional dishes and interact with extremely friendly locals.
The British guest also said that Vietnam has extra points thanks to its coffee.
This is a paradise of many creative coffees, from egg coffee, coconut milk coffee to salt coffee. Each has its own unique flavor that is unforgettable. The rich taste, sweet aftertaste and unique brewing method make many people affirm that Vietnam has the best coffee in the world.
Finally, Toland found that Vietnam's appeal compared to Thailand lies in its unique culture and rich history. Vietnam has gone through many special historical periods.
Each period leaves a deep mark on culture, architecture and lifestyle, creating a unique identity for the country.
It is known that this is not the first time that international tourists have compared Vietnam and Thailand. This topic has attracted many heated comments about which destination is more attractive, but this story has no end because each place has different advantages.
Esha Dasgupta, a female tourist from India, who had the opportunity to experience both countries, said that these are "two precious gems" in the Southeast Asian region, and it is difficult to compare because it depends on each person's personal preferences and travel goals.
According to Dasgupta, the two countries have certain similarities but are not the same. Each country has its own identity, from tourist attractions to vibrant night markets, white sand beaches to historical sites.
One of the famous destinations in Vietnam is Da Nang, where there are Marble Mountains and peaceful beaches. Coming to Hue city, tourists can visit and experience the tombs, ancient pagodas and the Imperial City.
Meanwhile, Thailand's strength is white sand beaches like those on Koh Chang or Koh Samui, which are attractive thanks to their coconut-lined beaches and lush tropical forests. When coming to Bangkok, you cannot miss the many nightlife spots and diverse street food.
