That may be more of a Vietnam-specific question than Asian.

When I was in Cambodia I never saw public displays of affection. No kissing, hugging or hand holding. Not a lot of smiling in public, but the did when friends and family got together.

Younger women (teen agers) would hold hands, at least in the small villages - walking to school etc. Very serious looking people, but friendly.
