Hello Marc,

the adm divisions of Vietnam, as described here: http://www.geonames.org/VN/administrative-division-vietnam.html are correct.

In order to reflect this, would it be possible to make the changes mentioned above? It should be rather quick & easy.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks Ludovic. It has been fixed.

Best

Marc
