SubscribeHo Chi Minh City, also sometimes still referred to as Saigon, is no longer the war torn battleground you or your parents may remember. Liberalization of economic policies in Vietnam and the country seeing the west as allies against Chinese aspirations in the region means the country and city have become hospitable to western expats and retirees.
Ho Chi Minh is the economic heart of Vietnam, and hosts many thriving industries, not the least of which is information technology. Of course, the region also has numerous cultural destinations, and the whole region thrums with the energy of a country on the rise. If you're interested in entrepreneurship in a rapidly developing country, Ho Chi Minh City might be for you.
Vietnam's healthcare facilities are adequate, but basic. In this area Vietnam lags behind other medical tourism destinations in the region. Most expats retiring in Vietnam prefer to take a quick flight to Bangkok for more serious medical needs.
