I have mentioned several times in my blogs that Vietnam is leaving Thailand for dead in the tourism stakes.My wife is Thai and even she says Vietnam is a better choice .Only reason we have been here the last half a dozen times is or her to catch up with her family,however we have still squeezed in a few trips to Veitnam. People more caring and polite and costs are about half those of Thailand.Especially alcohol, wine and spirits and the French Patisseries are out of this world.Cambodia will also become a major threat to Thailand in the not to distant future.
