What is it with you r*dditards and your phobia of rainfall? Every other day one of you basedboys asks this same stupid question on the tourism subreddits.
>omg guyz so it might rain in Thailand, should I even bother visiting?
>>2791411
>East Asians having kids
Nope, it's all rich young DINK couples and old farts.
>woah, this tropical climate is so heckin' tropical
No shit!

>Thailand has better

>Vietnam has better

>>2791778
>quality women
can you please elaborate? I'm not a coomer, looking for a waifu.
do most young viet girls in major cities speak passable English?
how do their families view dating a westerner?
how much does Just Be White apply?

>>2791778
>Vietnam has better foreigners
Did a doubletake on this but guess it's probably true.
Both places attract a lot of deadshits but the numbers are way higher for Thailand and there's a lot more normal working expats living in HCMC/Hanoi compared to the hordes of perpetually drunk retirees fucking their way through their life savings in Thailand.
Otherwise I think this is a solid assessment having lived in both countries.

Guys looking for wives should do so in the 35-50 age range. Such women came of age without a phone in their hand. They are much less entitled.

>>2792026
>lived in both countries
imagine you had never left your original country and hadn't moved abroad. Does that life you imagine seem lonely, dull, muted, or how do you perceive it?

I prefer Vietnam. Thailand just feels like its forever destined to be a third world dirty shithole that will forever rely on tourism. Vietnam actually seems like its thriving and in 20 years will get to China levels of development.

>>2791950
Its much harder to pick up women in Vietnam than Thailand by a significant margin but the quality is SOOOO much better. Thai women have been banged by 30 farang before you and are full of tattoos.
>>2791778
>thailand
>better food
disagree. Though think thailand has more things to do due to a more developed tourism industry. Also the food in Thailand is cleaner than Vietnam (though this honestly doesnt mean much as both are dirty)

>>2791355 (OP)
They're both has-been slop that peaked in the 2010's. Sure they're more commercialized now, and to NPC's that like their corporate comfort slop, this is the bee-knee's- but to everybody else they fucking suck now and have become reddit hive-mind colonies.

>Thailand Vs Vietnam. Which do you prefer and why?
Personally, I prefer Thailand, but that’s largely because I lived there for some time, speak the language, and know the country really well. I also like Thai food slightly more than I like Vietnamese food (but the food in VN can also be excellent, and it’s still mostly startlingly cheap, far cheaper than in TH), and find Thai people more relaxed/relatable than the Vietnamese, who have often struck me as a little more aggressive, particularly down south. I also find the infrastructure (tourist and otherwise) noticeably better in Thailand, but it’s not a huge gap, and I think Thai roads are more dangerous. Thailand is richer, and you can tell sometimes. But it’s also more expensive, which might be an important factor for some. When I first visited VN I was just an English teacher based in Thailand, and the whole place seemed really, really cheap even on my garbage salary. It’s not as cheap as it was, but it’s still cheaper.

But none of these indicate any kind of inherent objective superiority, it’s just my personal experience, informed by some years in Thailand and a lot of short visits to Vietnam.

>Also side question, what's traveling SEA like during the Summer months? Is it awful?

It’s hot, largely cloudy and especially humid, and often rainy. But it’s not the hottest time of the year, and even on rainy-season downpour days, rains aren’t usually constant. There’s often some sun, for hours if not whole days at a time.

It is the rainiest time of year, though, which increases risks of urban flooding, rural mudslides, impassable mountain roads, etc. And it’s a comparatively lousy time of year for most SEAsian beach destinations, although it may not even rain every day, and not all day even when it does rain. Another plus is that the tourist numbers are lower most places than they are in the winter months.

Is this a serious post? iy seems like a parody. if you really seriously typed this out please get off the internet and touch grass right now. Holy fuck.

If we're talking about pussy, Vietnam has hotter bitches but they are NOT easy. They do NOT speak English. They do NOT GAF how handsome you are or how much money you have. You WILL be invisible, as they prefer their own men. Oh, and in the rare event you do bag a stunner, their hotels strictly adhere to the law; meaning, NO female guests in your room unless you are married. Yes, they WILL pull up the actual law on the computer at the front desk if you try to sneak one in and security WILL escort you out. I know, I've tried.
I currently live in Thailand. 1000% much easier to blow you balls out inside a Thai stunner. I just filled up one in the early hours this morning who was 17yo just earlier this month.

Vietnam's highly connected social media users are aware of negative Western stereotypes like "sexpat" teachers and begpackers.

In dating preferences, Vietnamese women are often observed favoring local men first, followed by East Asians, then whites, then blacks.

Locals often perceive many foreign English teachers through the lens of the "LBH" (Loser Back Home) stereotype.

Due to exposure to these stereotypes (sexpats, LBHs, begpackers), Westerners can sometimes create a negative impression ("the ick") among Vietnamese, linked to perceived low social standing.

TEACHING DOES NOT PAY ENOUGH

>>2797353
Isn't 14 dollars an hour pretty great wage in Vietnam. She sounds like a cunt.

>>2797364
Yes BUT LBH teachers don't wanna live like a local. Sooo, $14 isn't much.

>>2797370
If I worked 4 hours a day making that, I wouldn't be living like most locals. That's enough to be living in hotels and eating at Western/imported good/cultural enrichment restaurants.

That's why this board, this website and pretty much the internet as a whole is utterly useless nowadays.
