Philippines vs Vietnam Living & Vacation Which is The BEST? 

Im a Filipino. I want to work and stay in Vietnam.

Philippines is for the adventurous people. Its like the Amazon separated in Islands. Vietnam on the other hand has the very healthiest delicious cuisine in Asia with beautiful nature. Unfortunately, traveling in Vietnam is difficult due to language barrier, living there long term would be difficult, whereas in the Philippines as expats you will have a very little adjustment as everything is westernized.

Vietnam and Thailand best for food for those who are vegetarian people but if you're not vegetarian maybe Philippines but both country doesn't have to compare because it has their own unique and culture no need for comparison just stay which country you prefer

I stayed in Dat Do for 3weeks. I’m a Pinoy and i found Vietnam better than Philippines. Only language is hard but i have a local who can speak better English than me. 😂

I am Filipino, Philippines has terrible transport infrastructure. 30 years behind in advancement compared to other Asian nations.

No need to compare totally different country in terms of culture, belief, language, food etc etc. Wherever you feel comfortable, happy and contended, then that's where you live long term. It's individuals prerogatives. Just be happy and enjoy life.

As a Filipino , I prefer Vietnam it's cheaper and good food.

Philippines is nice beach and Vietnam is nice food !

if you ask people in vietnam of course they liked vietnam because you both in vietnam right now... same as you asked people in the philippines when you are there... both countries are nice as to any other countries in the world. No accurate metrix for that question, it will only offend countries one way or another.. its better to ask only to yourself on that.. or ask them privately by not filming their opinions... 😊

Not gon lie, Vietnam is more attractive for tourism because they offer better service, also the infastructure is alot better, the streets and buildings are well kept, and the food are cheaper and better quality. What I mean by this is some of the street food you’ll find looks like a five star restaurant dish.

I like the immediacy of your travel vlog - Kind of a ( Man on the street ) vibe to it . . .

Nah i choose vietnam cause vietnam is more clean and cultured....

My uncle was in the Vietnam war.. He spends most of his time in Vietnam, and loves it there.

Those are two level headed Americans saying it’s unfair to compare the two countries when they only were in the Philippines for 4 days.

I do not like comparison vlogs. Its calling for attention... bad kind of attention. That is why respondents say equally good. or both have good and bad sides. I usually leave the building... I left.

Aaron, all foreigner answer questions wisely, they know all are incompareble, all is good ❤

Great contents. Keep up the good work. Thank you for sharing!!

Nothing beats Filipino hospitality... Never mind the beaches... Filipinos can be the best friend you can ever imagine...

PHILIPPINES Is unbeatable for its spectacular thousands of islands, beaches and crystal clear water. also Philippines has utra modern CBDs like MAKATI and BGC.

Super cool video brother. I was born in Honduras raise in NJ and all my life People has confused me for Asian. To make things more interesting my girlfriend is Filipina so I recently had the chance to visit her beautiful country. Manila is a different monster. The city a bit crowed but south Philippines was just like being home super magical. The people are super friendly and beautiful. The atmosphere is super relaxing and calming. I fell in love with nature escaping from the hectic life in the city. Very similar to Vietnam especially the lifestyle and climate.

Love Vietnamese food . I think it’s healthier than Filipino dish but Philippines has the friendliest people and majority speaks English. Philippines has been voted by ASEAN as the #1 tourists destination in Asia !!!!! That said , they both have something special to offer . ❤

Then once again Jollibee is not Filipino cuisine. It is fast food!

just got home from HCMC the only bad thing i dont want to point is how bad the touristy market like ben than market. the seller there have bad temper. if you ask for an item they will hold your hand so that you dont go to the next store, very desperate to sell and if you dont buy they will throw a tantrum right in front of your face. most of the seller there. and because they dont speak english you dont know maybe they already cursing you because you wasted their time entertaining you. and the price is really bad they will openly rip you off. so do a research first on the price, the bad thing is if you ask for the price they will not going to let you go unless you buy something from them then even if you haggle so much you will find that the price is still over the chart. like its better to buy from a shop like the war museum relatively cheaper than the ben than market.

hahaha that part at like 2:25 "oh shit" and camera falls to the side....that was funny 😂. In my opinion, I love them both equally but each has their own set of attractions that I look for in a foreign destination

Both are absolutely wonderful. But Vietnam has a definite edge if you want a healthier longer life

Hi, i think it's matter of personal tourist preference. The fact is Vietnam seems more a popular tourist destination than the Philippines because the tourist number speak for itself prior to COVID Pandemic last 2019: Vietnam-18M, the Philippines-8M. No offense to Pinoys, a tourist will visit a country a way more popular tourist destination than a best tourist destination for some. At least the Philippines is getting commercialized in tourism nowadays✌✌✌

There's nothing wrong with comparing the two places.

Before it's Thailand vs. Philippines Then Malaysia vs. Philippines Now it's Vietnam vs. Philippines What's next... It's crazy 😂😂😅

I do concur that, like Thailand, Vietnam is in desperate need of English teachers, particularly from Western English-speaking nations. The bulk of the NES takes advantage of this situation without realizing that teaching is, in and of itself, a calling and a vocation. Teaching is not a way to solve your money problems or a chance that you will take even if you don't know how to teach. This is what I typically see in Westerners NES or NNES, using their physical attributes of having white skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes, but they are merely using the school to earn money for travel. Although not all, sorry for saying this. Many Westerners, including NES, are taking advantage of the opportunity to work as teachers in Southeast Asia for pay. The issue is how much they make or the school will have to pay them, and once they have enough money saved, they will leave and travel again. That is not how education operates, which is why Vietnam and Thailand continue to have the lowest levels of English proficiency. Either there is a yearly change in English teachers, or the English teacher is incompetent in terms of how to teach and carry out the lesson in a way that will enable the students to learn. Thailand and Vietnam are attractive countries for Western visitors, especially for NES who are in severe need of more money to support their ambition to travel after teaching. I commend the Westerners and NES for their compassion and concern for the education of my fellow Southeast Asians like the Vietnamese and Thai students, for their efforts to help the children learn at least some basic English. Just my two cents!

They said vietnam is good food than philippines? What food it is? So i can try.

I been to many southeast Asian country i love bgc manila.more convinient and more relax

Comparison to get the attention of both worlds

ASIDE FROM BEACHES, WE DO HAVE GORGEOUS MOUNTAINS TOO. TRY TO HIT THE ROAD GOING TO BAGUIO OR SAGADA IN THE NORTHERN PHILIPPINES.

actually there are lots of options in asia, lots of countries to choose from ..... like explore and take ur pick!

I chose Vietnam 10x fold over Philippines, you do not know how beautiful Vietnam is including its people, so humble and definitely peaceful than PH, cost of living is absolutely amazing.

That what you thinking but look around first

When it comes to food yes vietnam will be gonna won however if you are in philippines . If you missed eating any different food from the south east asia get out of your place where you living in philippines and travel to makati. ,food is not a big isue if you are food lover i am sure you will gonna understand why filipino food is not a compitator .

As filipino i agree, philippines is more expenssive than vietnam for a traveler or a backpacker, cuz its an isaland nation you need to take an airplane everytime you want to go to island to island, and manila is very congested, except if you have a lot of budget you can stay at BGC or Makati if you want to live comportably.

I’m Vietnamese and spent a week in Manila Metro, Makati, Bonifacio, Intramuros, Pasay, and of course ate several Filipino dishes. In the Philippines, the gap between rich and poor is extremely wide and visible. If you exit the BGC area, you’ll witness the mess of ghettos with ugly constructions and endless“spaghetti wires” Vietnam, on the other hand, is pretty collective and quite clean. There’re not so many filthy slums, the countryside of Vietnam is amazing if you get out of the large cities Cost of living in the Philippines is insanely high and it’s so hard to find local businesses, everything is American. Vietnamese people have good business mindset and there’re plenty of local brands which offer good deals. I like some Filipino dishes like beef bulalo, sinigang soup, or nasi goreng with chicken satay (it’s Indonesian tho) and daing na bangus. There are some funny dishes like tiny clams with a lot of green chili. However, Filipino cuisine isn’t diverse and everything comes with rice. Then, the Jollibee chain serve fried chicken. In Vietnam, the food is really diverse so sometimes people just don’t know what to eat. Let’s try cơm tấm, cơm phần, cơm gà xối mỡ, mì xào bò, hủ tiếu, phở, bún bò huế, mì quảng, cao lầu, bánh canh cua, bánh xèo, bánh khọt, bánh căn, bánh đa cua bề bề, bún chả, lẩu thái, lẩu cá, lẩu bò, lẩu vịt nấu chao, lẩu gà… I think the Filipino government should improve the country’s situation like control the cost of goods, get rid of unpleasant scenes in slums, and help poor families.

We’re from the Philippines But now in Germany If we have to decide it will b Vietnam now because it’s cheaper Flights cheaper AND we have two small kids the Philippines Trend to b more chaotic (delays government etc ) so all in all we prefer going to Vietnam Still we love our home (Philippines more)

I'm from PH but I wanna go to Vietnam cuz I love their food and I know there are still more tourist spots lol but for travel, Philippines can offer a lot but more expensive. Promise.

Every country had a different nature and culture its depends on how people treat the creations.human are just the caretaker of them, Just appreciate the nature. cz God give to us. all countries are so beautiful only people are not Good to the creations 🥺

the heat here may turn you down @@

The thing that scares me about the Philippines is how is a foreigner going to find work. They already speak English. All the other Asian countries at least have work for English teachers, so foreigners can afford to live.

I love the philippines but,.I can only live in 2 places there baguio city and palawan is where I’m retiring

No wonder why a lot of people I know back in high school who graduated in Education are in Vietnam’s as a English teacher. My daughters elementary teacher in Philippines just left for Thailand to be an English teacher.

If you are staying more years in the Philippines and you can buy the land and you can build the house also and quite cheaper in the Philippines

Philippines is a paradise country

Philippines is really expensive

Vietnam is CHEAP so many vloggers and tourists will like Vietnam. If you want good food in the Philippines, you need to spend. If you can't spend, you wouldn't like the Philippines because it's not cheap. Overall, Philippines is better for tourists because they can communicate with locals, as in, EVERYONE, while in Vietnam you just talk to your delicious food 😊

No comments or likes from Vietnam? 😢 Then move to the Philippines. 😊

To be honest my husband is British. But he could buy the land in property and house in Davao. So that how happy together and he love the Philippines than some other of Asia

To all the Filipinos around the world. Ito na yung nagco compare sa PH vs Vietnam! Wag niyong suportahan, dami niyang sinasabing masasama tungkol sa pinas!

Thank you for the support and comments! We all know the PH is the best ;) haha charrr. Do me a favor and like and share this video.. Take care

If one is a vegetarian Philippines is not that place, , philippines love meats and fishery products, , most hindu dont eat, ,

Philippines is quite cheaper than in Vietnam and also that you can fine the places in Philippines that you can buy the apertment or rent that you can see that if you are knowing to look around in the Philippines and also food so many in provinces that quite cheaper to be honest

I love philippines

If you want to live in SEA for like half a year, the Philippines is the best option because its people can speak English, and the road sign and stores are mostly in English; It is also the reason why RU-vidrs in the Philippines has many viewers because people there love watching English contents. You can easily find local friends out there and some of its culture has been influenced by the Western world. But if you just want to visit and tour, then Vietnam is a great option because it has a more authentic ASEAN culture than the Philippines, your will experience a new life, way different from what you have accustomed to. In the Philippines, you almost feel like you are in the Western world, like in Singapore, and more places in the Philippines are becoming expensive to live, which become the expat's new go-to places to live because they are still way cheaper than the Western price but have better amenities, are safer, and have a better social value.

We don’t need mass tourism in the Philippines though. I think few tourist is much better to enjoy quality vacation when going to islands.

Best philippines🎉🎉🎉

Either Philippines or Vietnam its okey in America very expensive to live😂

It’s kind of funny, because their are Vietnamese in the Philippines that goes to school their to learn English? I guess it don’t matter if you speak Vietnamese. Anyway, if you want more subscribers you Vlog about the Philippines

Filipino police don't say anything as long as you be careful,make sure what's the road always

It depends on what kind of traveler you really are. If your the type to really immerse your self with the locals and go to places where there are no tourists then you will find culture and food in the Philippines but if you hang around in the cities or touristy areas then, yes you'll find a Jollibee everywhere. Most vloggers I've watched that don't like the Philippines over other places don't make it past 2-3 months staying there. It's such a vast place and so laid back and slow paced, you will need to be there several months just to really know the country and appreciate it. The Philippines is a great location to set ones roots and use as a base to travel to other parts of Asia without having to leave the western comforts for too long and not to mention getting a Visa is easy and easy to extend. Also, westerners don't have to deal with all the political BS that happens in there home country. My opinion.

My nigga tried to climb the Swiss Alps and clap some cheeks

I’m Vietnam 🇻🇳 but love ❤️ Philippines 🇵🇭 too much Vn Philippines 🇵🇭 are friendly

i need come back to vietmen just need that e visa im phillppines now

Phi vs Viet ❤

⁠​⁠True. Vietnam has better tourism infrastructure, but I respectfully disagree with your statement that the Philippines has less variety (of landscapes and sceneries?) to offer. The fact alone that you said tourism infrastructure is not developed in the Philippines negates your assumption that there’s less variety of things to see. You don’t see them because they’re not easily accessible. True travelers, not tourists like you, go to extreme lengths to explore a country. I’ve been to 64 countries worldwide and I’ve extensively traveled in both Vietnam and the Philippines. You talk of variety? Batanes in the far North has 4 seasons. Babuyan islands and Fuga near Batanes are out of this world. Tawi-tawi and the Sulu archipelago are not tourist destinations, but Boracay pales in comparison in terms of beauty, food and culture. Yes, majority of Filipinos there are Muslim. Lake Sebu where the T’boli tribe lives is a mystical haven of long long (thousand years) history preserved in oral traditions through chanting, songs and dances. Below is an example. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Just because you don’t see them doesn’t mean they don’t exist and because you know nothing about them yet, you don’t have the right to say there’s less variety. ✌️ This is a T’boli tribe chant/song: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6NssbrcHQ8M.html This next one shows Babuyan group of islands. Skip the intro: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6NssbrcHQ8M.html You have to trek for 4 hours in rugged terrain to reach these falls in Abra, northern Luzon. It’s not for tourists. It’s for adventure seekers. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J8CJHdoq1as.html

I havent been in Vietname but i want to stay there for like 1month. Haha.

Vietnam offers lower wage factoring on that, delivery of goods and services especially hotel accommodations are more affordable. Vietnam is a land mass, Philippines is made up of islands, In short the process would be cheaper in a landmass than in islands. Maldives would be a great example. Hotel Rates are insanely expensive.

my friends say, their bosses love the Philippines for one thing their seafood is said to be arguably world's best, esp in their top star hotels and restaurants

Philippine heaven

Philippines is easier to stay because of visa and speak english better but everything else vietnam has them beat. Healthcare, affordability to transportation its just so much better in vietnam.

Foreigner prefer Philippines because English is wide spoken and tons of beaches

to be honest, perference will be based on lifestyle...and another factor is how much of the filipines speaks english vs how much of vietnam speaks english....for instance, if u prefer to be in a place that speaks and understand english more, you' will definitely prefer the filipines.

Any country in the world has a right to increase their way of living. Specially during inflation and world economic crisis. Tourism industry plays a great role for any country in the world. Honestly speaking . i dont think it is a bad idea if it increases. For international.tourists and foreigners only. Give lower rates for its own native / natural citizens . i see nothing wrong with that idea. That just show difference of being a citizen of that country and being a foreigner . just priveleges of being a citizen. They can feel their worth as a citizen. Comparing cannot be avoided. It is every travellers right where to take a vacation , travel or find a second home . it is also everybodys personal right what country is good for you. All of us . when we go to a foreign country. We need to adjust or adapt . not the country we visit . dont like . leave the country . thats all.

I choose retire democrat country Vietnam vacation. Only

Aaron, how are you? Also my name, ha. You have a good YT name! I am just getting started and can't figure out a name yet! Any ideas? Maybe one or two you passed on? Aaron Abroad .. lame. Where's Aaron? (Where's Wes .. already taken). Aaron's World Travels .. lame. Ha. I'll be heading to Hanoi next week, motorbike tour, blah blah, then down to Da Nang, where I'll spend at least a month or so, then down to HCMC for a couple weeks. I'm considering DN as a future home, thus the extended visit. But Hanoi and HCMC look great too! Teaching for $20/hour? I've been following one well respected group who educates teachers, etc, but their estimated salaries are not near $20. Maybe I'm following the wrong folks, ha. But .. do you have to work to live in VN? What if I had another form of income or even just savings? Yes, more and more restrictions on living in Thailand, but wondering if VN has the same limitations .. yet. Just three month e-visas over and over? Anyway, would be cool to meet you at some point. Enjoying your content. I'm also an American .. Seattle area. Thanks!

We compare everything 😂😂😂😂 big facts.... everything we do is a comparison.. example should I catch the bus or the train to get to destination faster ....people are acting like the phone their useing wasn't a comparison to the other phones 😂😂😂

The problem with the Vietnamese language is that almost everyone can't speak Engish... compared to Phillipines easy to communicate ..

15-25 dollar. 20 dollar a hour for English

Go to Vietnam for the Asian culture Go to Philippines for the western culture

VIETNAM NUMBA WAN!

Hivietfromgermany

In Thailand and Vietnam they import English teachers to teach in their schools, In the Philippines students come to learn English from all over asian and have a good time see-ing the country as well. So there's really a sharp contrast in the countries when it come's to English. As a take away if I am a foreigner and teaching English is my livelihood there's really a high chance I will settle in Thailand and Vietnam to work and play all at the same time. But if your planning to do that in the Philippines you will have hell of a time competing with really experienced local english teachers who are even being headhunted by countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Japan, S.Korea and China. So yeap. I don't see why Vietnam is the way to go for you.

I don't like the music choices.

Well your info. Are misleading and not complete

Your video is edited all over there place, not good.

you cant Compare MANILA to Saigon i been to both Cities and MANILA is far way more developed progressive along with KL and Bangkok you can see modern CBDs homes with tons of tall skyscrapers, where as Saigon its still a beta world city which only comparable to like 2nd tier of Philippines like Cebu or Pattaya of Thailand.

Philippines of course we have beautiful.people, many more to offer and its more fun in the Philippines.

this kind of content is the cause of fighting

Philippines is the best beaches in the world

In all of southeast Asia, food here in Ph is expensive and the most 👎🏼

I had Vietnamese food, i dont get what is so special about it

I’d choose to live in Vietnam, and then vacay in the Phillipines and other parts of the world. I think our country, Philippines, needs a reset. Our children needs to re-learn our culture, and ingrain in them that we our not US of America. Until we re-learn our own uniqueness, I don’t think we can move forward.

Philippines for sure..😚

The comment section all filipinos🤣you cant beat them they are overproud! For them philippines number 1 in the world 😂thats the mentality being filipino😂😂

But there a lot of scammers and different scams!! In scams!!

More accident come from motorcycle and your helmet will not protect you think it's more safe to drive there😅
