Nightlife in Vietnam and South East Asia
Vietnam is not traditionally a place with a great nightlife scene. For centuries, the local people followed a policy of early to bed, early to rise. The arrival of American troops in what was then Saigon temporarily gave rise to a somewhat seedy nightlife scene which disappeared when Saigon fell to the Vietcong. Today, however, the renamed Ho Chi Minh City is rapidly changing and providing the many visitors with more entertainment venues. There are an ever-changing number of discos and bars.
