these changes are the number one thing that people talk about that are new to Da Nang and other places in Vietnam. VN has no long-term visas but will let you do as many visa runs as you feel like. I've never heard of anyone getting hassled for having a bunch of stamps in their passport for here. I hear from everyone that is visiting from Thailand or moving to here from there that they have "had enough" and are not going to deal with Thailand anymore.
To be fair though, a lot of them end up moving back to Thailand anyway though and even though they wont admit it a lot of this has to do with the partying and girls that are in Thailand and we don't really have that scene here.
