Destination comparison
Thailand vs Vietnam: cost, weather and which to pick
Thailand and Vietnam are the two most compared short-haul trips from India. Thailand is easier for first-timers and visa-free; Vietnam usually gives more for your money on the ground but needs an e-visa.
Short answer: for a couple from Delhi on 5 nights in 4-star hotels in October, Thailand costs about ₹60,000 per person and Vietnam about ₹62,000. Vietnam's hotels and food are cheaper, but slightly higher fares and the e-visa narrow the gap.
