Where is better to visit, Thailand or Vietnam?

Why has Thailand attracted more tourists than Vietnam?

It’s quiet now. Thailand, huh? More tourists.

Vietnam is beautiful. I remember the Ha Long Bay fog. Unforgettable. And the pho… oh, god, the pho. People there, they’re good.

But Wilson’s right, I guess. Thailand just… gets it. Tourism, I mean. They built it.

• Tourism Infrastructure: Thailand invested heavily. The airports, the hotels… everything is smoother. More… seamless. Vietnam is catching up, slowly. I see it.
• Shopping and Nightlife: Bangkok is wild. So many choices. All those markets. So, so many things to buy. I got like, what, seven elephant pants last time? Maybe eight. I don’t know. It’s designed for us, I see. Good quality, better than Ben Thanh Market? In HCM, I think. I dont know.
• Marketing and Promotion: Thailand pushed hard. They sold themselves. I saw the ads. All over. Beautiful beaches and smiling faces. Vietnam felt… quieter. Not as many ads. Not as flashy. I think.

Maybe its about established brand recognition. Everyone knows Thailand, you know? It’s exotic, but safe. Vietnam… I dunno, its still finding its voice, maybe? Oh well. I’m tired.

What is Thailand most famous for?

Thailand. Beaches, yes. Food? Unmatched. Temples shimmer.

• Beaches: Postcard perfection. But crowded.
• Food: A culinary apex. Flavors explode. Never the same.
• Temples: Ancient echoes resonate. Gold leaf whispers secrets. My grandmother visited Wat Arun.

Beyond the facade? Something else lurks. Tourist traps.

• Sex tourism. A stain. We don’t talk about it.
• Political instability. Coups happen. Like clockwork.
• Environmental degradation. Paradise lost? Saw it myself in Ko Phi Phi in 2023.

Thailand. Beauty and shadow intertwined. Choose your lens.

• Culture: Respect the traditions. Or face consequences.
• Nightlife: Insomnia takes a different form. Not always pretty.
• Affordability: Your dollar stretches. But at what cost?

Where do most people fly into Thailand?

Ugh, Thailand. Bangkok, right? Suvarnabhumi. That’s the one everyone uses. Massive place. Always packed. I hate crowds.

IndiGo flies there, I know that much. Loads of other airlines too, obviously. Probably AirAsia, maybe even Thai Airways, still. I took Air France once, that was… a choice.

Suvarnabhumi is the main airport, that’s for sure. Biggest, busiest, all that. They should expand it already, seriously. The lines are insane.

My friend went last year, she said it was a nightmare. Passport control took forever! She mentioned something about a new terminal, hope it helps. But still… Bangkok.

• Main airport: Suvarnabhumi (BKK)
• Airlines: IndiGo, AirAsia, Thai Airways, many others.
• My experience: once, with Air France, not great.
• Friend’s recent experience: long lines at passport control. New terminal possibly.
• Needs expansion: way too crowded.
