Local culture and travel context
Same-sex relations are legal and the former prohibition on same-sex weddings was removed, but same-sex marriages and registered partnerships still have no legal recognition. Ho Chi Minh City has the country’s most visible commercial gay nightlife, Hanoi has a smaller but established community, and beach cities mix dedicated venues with mainstream spaces.
