When comparing Thailand and Vietnam for long-term stays, consider these points: Thailand offers superior infrastructure, internet, and healthcare, with options like the DTV visa for remote workers, but it's more expensive, especially on islands, and visa management can be complex.
Vietnam is more budget-friendly for living costs (around $800-$1200/month), boasts delicious food, but has less convenient long-term visa options, poorer English proficiency, and seemingly chaotic traffic.
