Travel Tips

The quality of life in Vietnam depends on who you are, where you live and what you value.

My wife and I have a nice house in a new area of Saigon that can provide a lifestyle very close to the lifestyle I have in Southern California. On the other hand, we have relatives and friends living in Thai Binh (approximately 60 KM Southeast of Hanoi) who live in extreme poverty.

The Vietnamese in Vietnam don't measure the quality of life by what they have, but rather by the happiness of their family. That in mind, our economically challenged family and friends in Thai Binh are millionaires because they are always happy so long as their family is healthy.

To get into more detail will require more specific questions. Please feel free to ask. Source(s): Studied Vietnam and the Vietnam War for many years. Just married my Vietnamese wife in Hanoi. Just returned from a 3-month trip through Vietnam.

The quality of life for your average Vietnamese is quite hard,if you are a foreigner with a bit of cash its very good
The higher up the economic ladder you are the better your quality of life is just like any other country. It looks to me when we visit that there are less homeless people begging now than a few years ago. Seems like more jobs and a better future is coming. Hope this helps some what. cheers.
From my point of view...It's not so bad but still not so good but it's getting better. This is from my point of view from what I see & experienced is just restricted in Saigon (Havent been to other area yet)
quality is better now than before. in Ha Noi the people follow western style and in the south Ho Chi Minh City (Sai Gon) we still in not good situation. the school and legal system not in good place. many kid in street sell loto ticket
compare to before, Vietnam is a little bit better.

thus, people still lives in poor condition. however, rich people become richer and poor people become poorer...
