I saw from your photos that the Saigon Zoo has a white lion too. Do Siegfried and Roy have a branch office in Vietnam?
what was your assessment of the quality of this zoo compared to the Hanoi Zoo? How do their elephant exhibits compare, and did this zoo actually have giraffes in their giraffe exhibit?

Saigon is much better than Hanoi. With only a handful of exceptions most of the exhibits would be at least acceptable in Europe, and unlike Hanoi there are a few genuinely good ones - the stork lake, gibbon and langur islands for example.
Saigon's elephant exhibit is a little more modern, but no bigger and has more elephants. I'd probably still give it the edge though.
And yes, Saigon's giraffes were present and correct.
