QUESTION
We are two backpackers hoping to enter Vietnam in two weeks time. We will not be stopping long enough in Bangkok or any other big cities to obtain a visa. Is there any other way we can obtain a tourist visa without doing this? We will be arriving from Cambodia and intend to spend about two weeks in Vietnam. We will be entering Laos from Vietnam and am also trying to find out if it is easy to get a visa crossing the border?

You can apply by yourself at Vietnam embassies. Otherwise, you can apply online for time saving then get visa stamp at Vietnam airports. Click here to see how it works.
