Only 5% of travelers return to Viet Nam, as opposed to 50% for Thailand, according to what I have read.
What's your point?
Thailand is the kingdom of scams.
However, it also allows more travelers in visa-free, so it has that going for it. Plus, Bangkok's two airports can get you nonstops to many more places than Vietnam.
Personally, I prefer Vietnam to Thailand ... but Bangkok has the advantage of having the world visit. To me, that means better stocked supermarkets and good medical facilities.
