Thailand or Vietnam: it\u2019s a question dozens of travellers<\/g> ask themselves when making plans to travel through Asia.<\/a> While the countries are undoubtedly similar, in many ways they are vastly different; from their culture, history, and of course, the things you see while you\u2019re there. Obviously, the best option is visiting them both, but if you can\u2019t manage a two-for-one trip, knowing the difference between the two countries is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For travellers who are always in search of the best beaches, Thailand and Vietnam are known for being home to some of the best beach destinations in the world. Photos of Thai beaches look almost too good to be true, while Vietnam\u2019s unique beach landscapes offer something completely different. But which destination\u2019s beaches are right for you?
Here are some comparisons that will help you make your decision when choosing between Thai and Vietnamese beaches: .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beaches<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Beaches in Thailand<\/a> are considered by most to be more picturesque than beaches in Vietnam. This is where you\u2019ll find your isolated island paradise, with many beaches only accessible by boat. Thailand’s two most famous beach destinations, Phuket and Krabi, are home to some of the most photographed beaches in the world. The landscapes are otherworldly, with massive tree-covered cliffs surrounded by clear blue water. From jet skiing, rock climbing, snorkelling<\/g>, and kayaking, there\u2019s an endless amount of activities that make your day about a lot more than just sunbathing. Because these destinations are increasing in popularity, they do sometimes become crowded with tourists, but for the most part, that just makes the beach parties that much more inviting. Thai beaches are bursting with life, activity, parties, and some of the best beach views ever found.<\/p>\n\n\n

Culture and History<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Thai culture has been heavily influenced by India, including the influence of both Buddhism and Hinduism. While more heavily influenced by Western culture than Vietnam, Thailand is still regarded as a prodominatnly Buddhist country, with 90% of the country practising the religion. Historically, Thailand has been safe from external powers and pressures as it was never conquered or colonized, unlike Vietnam. Family, faith, and respect are all important aspects of culture that Thais take very seriously, but they\u2019ve also adopted many Westernized ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, the country has become known as one of the best destinations for partying and nightlife. Here, you\u2019ll find an endless number of clubs and bars, open, seemingly, 24\/7.

Food<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Authentic Thai food is a combination of fire and spice that will awaken every tastebud you have. The hotter the better, regardless of the dish. The food does vary greatly depending on where you are, but for the most part, you\u2019ll also be able to find Western favourites<\/g> wherever you go.<\/p>\n\n\n
