Why do most people choose Thailand instead of Vietnam when traveling?

The following is shared by several netizens:

User 1: Why does everyone go to Thailand instead of Vietnam? It is also Southeast Asia, and Vietnam is the closest to us, but there are still a large number of tourists going to Thailand every year, and a small number of people go to Vietnam. This year's Spring Festival, 9 million tourists have to say that Thailand is happy, ranking first in overseas travel. So let's talk about where Thailand is better than Vietnam. The first point: Thailand's transportation, although Vietnam is close to us, aviation Vietnam is not as developed as Thailand. More than 50 cities in China, such as Bangkok and Phuket, have direct flights to several airports in Thailand, while flights to Vietnam are only available in a few big cities, and the price is about half higher than that in Thailand. The second point: Language. Thailand and China have established diplomatic relations in tourism for more than ten years. After a long period of accumulation, Thailand has become half of China. In Thailand, even if you can't speak Thai and English, you can still live and travel in several major tourist cities, which is unmatched by other countries. On the other hand, Vietnamese is still different. Tourists who can't speak English are still struggling in Vietnam, although Vietnam's consumption is cheaper than Thailand's. The third point; In terms of playability, Thailand's Chiang Mai or Phuket, Krabi and other natural scenery are much better than Vietnam's Minai Island and Nha Trang Island. Although the island consumption in Thailand is high, the worst thing for us in China is money. As long as it's fun, money is not a problem.

Fourth, service, the service in Thailand is much higher than that in Vietnam. Thailand prefers to be close to China culture and understand the needs of China people, which is stronger than Viet Nam. Vietnam is more like a proud child. Fifth: food. There are many kinds of food in Thailand, especially in Chiang Mai. There are various night markets in the evening, which are more suitable for China people's tastes and more prosperous than Vietnamese. People in China like to be busy. Durian and mango in Thailand are also favorite fruits for most people who travel to Thailand. Sixth point: Shopping. Thailand has many cosmetics and medicines, which are also very popular with our people. Unlike Vietnam, you may only buy some red bull or coffee, which is different from Thailand. Even the duty-free shops at the airport can let you play for half a day, which is incomparable to Vietnam. You can find some world-famous shops in Thailand, but few in Vietnam.

I come from Vietnam. I have been to both countries, but I have been to Thailand seven or eight times, and I will want to go again. I have been to Vietnam once, and I was hacked by a taxi, hit by a motorcycle, and my mobile phone was stolen, so I certainly suggest that you choose Thailand instead of Vietnam when you go to play. For the record, I started playing abroad in 2000. Those who have used five passports are all experienced players, not inexperienced novices. But in Vietnam, it is really impossible to prevent.

Netizen 2: Let's talk about Thailand first. Almost everyone who goes to Thailand will be full of praise when they come back (low-cost travel is beyond our discussion). The main body of tourism is food, shelter and entertainment. If the first four are good, you will naturally be happy. Thai food Dongyin Gong Tang, curry crab, mango rice, green papaya salad. I drool at the thought of it. At the high end, there are top 50 restaurants in the world and the world-famous Mandarin afternoon tea, which is lower than that of domestic five-star hotels. If it's cheap, there is a seafood barbecue in the night market. Is it delicious or not? Even the bird's nest syrup in Chinatown is a bowl of 20 yuan. Juice is cost-effective, and you can drink sweet freshly squeezed juice before 35 yuan. If you live in Thailand, luxury resort hotels abound, and all kinds of pool villas provide the best service. If you stay in a small inn for tens of dollars, it is actually clean and safe, and it will not affect the travel experience. If possible, Thailand has the largest concentration of backpackers in the world, and there is no problem with public transportation. Even a chartered car is not expensive. Four or five hundred dollars. Entertainment? I don't want to talk about that transvestite who often hunts for novelty in China. Thailand is far more fun than these. You can find something you like, which is small and fresh in literature and art, controlled by history and culture. You can buy it in the city of buy buy, find a paradise in the countryside, and do outdoor sports diving and rock climbing. Ordinary one-day tours can be seen everywhere, with low price but not low quality. Pick up and drop off at your hotel inn, even if there is a shopping link, it will not be mandatory, and many group meals are quite delicious. Thais are the country I have ever seen with the least discrimination against foreigners. They don't flatter foreigners or kill them. All this makes people not love this country.

Tell me about Vietnam. In fact, the transportation costs of the two countries are similar. Not all holiday tickets cost one or two thousand yuan. Vietnam can also take buses and trains from Guangxi, so the transportation cost is lower. Moreover, there is a very friendly mode of transportation in Vietnam called open bus, which provides joint ticket service and ground transportation and can travel from north to south very cheaply. New Coffee is a well-known open bus company in Vietnam. Half a street will see a fake brand, which is hard to tell. What's more, a friend of mine took a taxi, which was obviously 30,000 VND. The other party took advantage of her new arrival and was unfamiliar with 0, and charged her 300,000 yuan. There are many people driving motorcycles in both countries, but it seems that they have never been threatened in Thailand, but crossing the road in Vietnam is really scary, and finally they are hit by the elbow in the back seat of a motorcycle. If you eat it, the two countries have their own advantages and tastes good. The overall price in Vietnam should be lower. Two dollars for a cup of coffee and dozens of dollars for lobster. I bought 18 RMB red wine, which completely defeated the major domestic wine brands. But the problem is that I gave the store 500,000 Vietnamese dong (almost 150 yuan RMB). Not asking him for change is like completely forgetting about it. If you stay in Vietnam, you can stay in an inn of $65,438+00 and an international luxury resort of $300 to $400. There are also many beautiful scenery and people to entertain Vietnam. But on the whole, Vietnam is not as clean as Thailand, and it is a bit messy, even in big cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh. But there is also chaos and fun. Objectively speaking, Vietnam is also a place where backpackers gather in the world and has its own charm. But once you are stolen, robbed and cheated, you will definitely give a bad review. Relatively speaking, the risk in Vietnam is much greater than that in Thailand.

Netizen 3: Because Vietnam is full, I love to cheat money! Really, I don't want to save face for Vietnam at all. I went to Vietnam at the beginning of this year, which was really miserable. Let me start with the first thing: My first stop is the ancient town of Hui 'an. The ancient city is really beautiful, and the architecture is very distinctive. I passed a temple, and I don't remember its name. It is very magnificent and luxuriously decorated. After the visit, I was in a good mood. There are some dark-skinned women at the door, selling a small bag of sea salt, which is said to have the function of blessing. I thought, since one is here and it's Chinese New Year, I'll buy one. It's definitely not expensive. I was unfamiliar with Vietnamese at that time, and math was taught by a physical education teacher. I asked them how much it was. They said a figure, about 3 yuan, and then when I was still counting foolishly, they took a dollar from me and said, "That's enough. Enough! " (That's enough. That's enough. ) I left without much thought. Think about it later, it's not right! They charged me 30 pounds! Why did you tell me that was enough? ! Is that enough? ! You have 10 times, okay? ! Isn't it afraid of thunder and lightning to cheat money in front of the temple? I'm really angry when I think about it!

The second thing is that I go to the restaurant for dinner alone. At that time, I asked for a bowl of noodles and agreed to convert it into RMB 15. I gave the shopkeeper RMB 15 when I finished my pants, and then he quickly took more cash equivalent to RMB 1 from me! I took it myself! What's the difference between this and robbing money? But I am alone, and the other person is a big shot, so I dare not say anything. Although it is 1 yuan, I am not happy! So when you buy something in Vietnam, you must ask the price in advance and write it down in black and white. Really, I went for 7 days and was cheated from beginning to end. I am not an inexperienced traveler. Over the years, I have been to more than a dozen countries, big and small. I can't say much, but it's ok. It's the first time I've seen such a bad country as Vietnam, and I'll never go there again!

Netizen 4: I don't know why I asked such a question. I walked from the old streets in northern Vietnam to Ho Chi Minh City in the south, and I saw tourists everywhere, especially western tourists. Streets and alleys can be seen almost everywhere. Feeling that Vietnam's tourism industry is so prosperous, I made an inquiry and got the following figures: in 20 16, China received 28150,000 person-times, and Vietnam received a little more than100,000 person-times (the data came from the release of Vietnam National Tourism Administration and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in 20 17+0). In the first half of this year, Vietnam received more than 7 million overseas tourists, an obvious increase. Optimistic estimates may reach140,000, that is, half of that of China. However, China has not released the data for the first half of this year.

Vietnam is not as big as Yunnan, but the number of foreign tourists it can receive is so huge, which proves that the business of tourism is very hot. In contrast, China's tourism development time is much longer than Viet Nam's, and the number of visitors will never go up. The relevant departments have studied this issue many times, and tried their best to increase publicity and attract tourists to China as much as possible. Some people may say that there are already many people in China who love to come or not, and there are hundreds of millions of tourists every year. It doesn't matter whether foreign tourists come or not. I think this is a somewhat arrogant concept. No matter how many domestic tourists there are, at best, they will transfer their wealth in their own hospitals. The total wealth has not changed and no actual output value has been created. But when foreign tourists come to your home to spend money, they send overseas wealth into your pocket. The more foreign tourists come, the more domestic wealth will increase. Therefore, many countries in the world have racked their brains to attract foreign tourists.

Personally, I like Thailand better than Thailand, because the streets in Vietnam give people a sense of noise and chaos. For example, the 36th Street in Hanoi, which is highly recommended by the guidebook, I quickly retreated after only a few minutes, because it was too messy. Moreover, taxi pits in Hanoi are very serious. But it is undeniable that Vietnam also has many advantages. For example, its accommodation is very cheap. You can find 10 USD (more than 60 RMB) accommodation almost everywhere, even including breakfast. As for transportation, although it is not as good as our expressway and high-speed rail, there are many long-distance buses with good service and low prices.
