Why does everyone go to Thailand instead of Vietnam?

The two countries can be compared horizontally.

Let's compare the tourism of these two countries from the perspective of domestic tourists. First of all, Thailand and Vietnam, both in Southeast Asia, are close to China, especially Vietnam, which can directly enter China by train from Guangxi. Although Thailand does not border with China, there are many direct flights to Thailand, and the air tickets are very low. From this perspective, the geographical and transportation advantages of the two countries are basically the same.

Secondly, it is the comparison of tourism resources between the two countries. Thailand is a world-famous tourist country. There is no doubt that in Thailand, tourism is also their national pillar industry. Thailand's tourism development is very mature, and its own tourism resources are also very rich, including historical and cultural sites, many Buddhist temples and tropical islands. Comparatively speaking, Vietnam's tourism resources are not weak. Vietnam's Nha Trang, Da Nang and Minai are also places with tropical island customs, but Vietnam's cultural landscape is more modern, such as Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. Although there are no long-term historical sites, they are also unique.

Compared with these two countries, Thailand's tourism industry will indeed be more developed, and Thailand is also more popular in the choice of domestic tourists. The main reason is not only the development of tourism in Thailand mentioned above, but also that Vietnam has suffered many wars in modern times, so the development of tourism lags behind. In addition, Vietnam borders China and there have been many frictions in history, which made domestic tourists tend to travel to Thailand and Cambodia in the past.
