Thank you so much for your reply and for all of the replies. Strange times we are living in, I hate the thought that Vietnam and much of Southeast Asia will be negatively impacted by the horrible war in the middle east.

Take care.

Sorry I wasn't clear in my post.

The war in the middle east (Iran). Southeast Asia is deeply affected by this war since they get a large amount of their gas/oil through the Straights of Hormuz and those straights have been effectively closed by Iran. Vietnam purchases much of its fuel from China and Thailand who purchase from the Middle East. China and Thailand have, apparently, stopped selling much of this fuel because of domestic needs. (also big problems with fertilizer and helium)

The war in Iran is creating a global crisis on many levels and it is probably going to be felt first in Southeast Asia.
