🇻🇳 Vietnam or 🇰🇭 Cambodia
Which one, honestly
Vietnam leads on food, nature and the sea.
A normal day costs about the same in both, around $70.

Pick by what you want
🇻🇳 Choose Vietnam if
you want the best street food in Asia on the smallest budget, and you do not mind a long thin country that takes time to cross.
🇰🇭 Choose Cambodia if
you want the most impressive ruin in Asia, and a country that is still cheap and still quiet once you leave it.
