I have lived all over SE Asia and the Vietnamese people are the rudest, nastiest people by far especially towards certain outsiders(non-white Caucasian people). It is a vicious society of thieves and liars. They are immature and irresponsible people who try to cause you grief at every turn. I will never return there. They have a 5% return rate vs Thailand’s 40% return rate for tourism. I think the numbers speak for themselves. I hate to say it, but I find many Vietnamese rude and unfriendly. They don’t have the human element at all. They are money-minded and suspicious of outsiders. Taxi drivers have screamed at me and said bad things about my country. They call themselves friendly and open minded but the feeling is far from genuine and warm. Even the Vietnamese living overseas are discriminatory towards Cambodians from Cambodia, same is the case with the Chinese. Very disappointing , especially for a country that survives on tourism. Uniquely unwelcoming.
