Travel Info Is vietnam as seedy as thailand as prostitution is rife there ? not been to vietnam and hope its not the same? Travel Tips If you go looking for it yes! We Loved Vietnam, although beware that in Northern Vietnam western women will get stared at because of their pale skin! They are not being rude, just curios, but it can get a bit annoying! Vietnam is an awesome place to tour round. Source(s): http://www.nikbarratt.com/main%20menu.ht... Other Travel Tips been both places and yes, there is still prostitution in vietnam, but to me, it wasn't as "in your face" as in Thailand. read your guidebooks to avoid certain neighborhoods. one thing i have seen in thailand SO much more than other asian countries are all the old, crusty western men with the young thai women on their arms....just another form of prostitution, i guess. very sad. Well mmmmmmmm Vietnam it was certainly an experience........... I must admit I went to Thailand on the same trip and Thailand was full of prostitutes but I found Vietnam very friendly they all want your money and will do anything for it........... one guy just pushed my daughters pram around all day walking next to me for a few dollars a day.........that was a fortune to him... YOu will enjoy it, I am going back next year Probably not. If it is, you can garantee that the government has a huge cut. You're being a bit prejudiced here... Thailand is NOT seedy. There are certain areas of a few cities in Thailand (such as Bangkok and Pattaya), that are certainly red light districts, but to call the whole country "seedy" is just ignorant. But, if you mean does Vietnam have as extensive and well developed red light districts as those in parts of Thailiand, the answer is no. Vietnam has red light districts, but they are not on the same level (in general) as those in parts of Thailand. Try not to generalize an entire country by your views on some activities that go on in a few cities. First off, I somewhat agree with many of the things the previous answer said, for most of us living in Thailand, the red light districts are a miniscule part of Bangkok and Thailand, and for those of us that don't frequent, much less partake in the activities in those areas, Thailand can be and is one the best places in world to live. Having said that, I was in Vietnam last week, in HCMC District 1 (the main tourist area), I did not see any red-light districts. What I did see were "motorbike pimps," on many street corners offering to take you to massage parlours, go-go bars and offering women for pleasure, who won't take no for an answer, and will follow you for a block or so pitching their wares. If you're with a woman. I doubt if you will have a problem, if you're alone or with other males, an emphatic no or three is necessary to get these guys off your back. Otherwise, it's a great place, and I considered this a minor and somewhat humorous nuisance. |
