I’m staying in Vietnam since 3 years. So I think I’m qualified to answer this.
Safety of you, your loved ones and your belongings. Never have an ever lost anything in Vietnam. In fact the taxi drivers are so honest that they call you back and return your items even before you noticing anything. It is never the case in India. Honesty in India becomes big news which is the norm in this part of the world.
Everyone is time conscious and punctual. Even if something is not on time, the information is shared well in advance.
Tourists and expats are treated as royalty. Here people know that a positive impression on one foreigner is a chain reaction to get a thousand more.
Tourists are not cheated and exploited. In fact, sometime you get additional benefits for being a foreigner. It is never the case in India. Athithi Devo Bhava is followed in actual terms in this part of the world.
Everything is so clean and tidily maintained. People take pride in showcasing a clean Vietnam.
People are humble and hardworking. They expect the payment for what they offer. Not a dime more.
My eight year old travels alone in bike taxis without any worries. Kids are taken very good care of.
The maids are gold. They get paid on hour basis. In this time they support every house help. No complaints whatsoever. They do the work with full sincerity. If their work gets over earlier they find some work like ironing clothes, washing the shoes and so on. But never sit idle and take the money.
A small minority of Indian tourists behave like crap looking at the beautiful Vietnamese women, don’t follow basic rules, run around and shout like crazy. Because of people like them the entire Indian community gets a bad name.
These are just some observations from me. My wife is a huge fan of Vietnam. The country and its people are so amazing.
This part of the world is much much better than the western world.
