The nearest decent beach is 4-5 hours away. I'm single and from what i see there isn't all that much to do for a wife and children in Saigon. It's aheavily polluted city. Schools cost 12,000 us a year per child. There are quite a few guys here who have sent there families home and are on 5 on 3 off rosters or 4 and 4 or 4 and 2.
My advice would be to come out on your own first, bring the wife over to look around once you're on line and make a decision on the costs of living here. If your single it's cheap, if your out here with the wife and kids, big house etc, it can get a bit expensive. It depends on what you want from it i guess.
