I think one factor for many expats in Vietnam is the lifestyle. It’s easy to find a job teaching English, and many expats living there will tell a tale of coming for a year and staying for life. Although transportation isn’t flawless, Vietnam’s mountains, beaches, and forests ensure that expats can take weekend trips to a variety of sights and into a variety of the countries regional cultures. Also with the unfriendly business environment created for foreigners in Thailand by the government and the locals, I think Vietnam is slightly a better place for foreigners and travellers.
that's a pretty terrible oversight on my part. I'm embarrassed, fixing now. thanks!
