What are the Bus Classes & Prices of Kumho Samco?

The price of your bus trip will depend both on the destination and the class of your ticket. Note that not all ticket classes are available on certain routes yet for longer trips there is almost always a good choice of options. Opt for a sleeper coach for the most convenient overnight trip. Sleeper buses are usually equipped with berths or soft reclining seats, feature an onboard toilet and your ticket may also include other perks like snacks or even a lunch. Taking a night bus is also a good idea if you want to save on your hotel room. During the day an express service is often the best value for money as it makes less stops than an ordinary or standard class bus and travels faster. On some routes it may be crucial to choose the right class as, say, an ordinary or second class bus may need some 6 hours to cover the distance the first class or express bus travels in two hours!

Pros & Cons of Bus Travel

Pros of Bus Travel

  • Buses usually boast the widest network of destinations covered. They travel to the places you cannot get to by plane or even by train

  • Travelling by bus is easy – there is no need to arrive to the bus terminal much in advance, and the check-in is usually a very fast formality opposite to air travel

  • Bus tickets are very affordable. Yes, there are costly first class or VIP options but is you are on a budget, bus is the first means of transportation you have to think about

  • At the same time, there are different classes of service to suit any budget. If you are after a higher level of comfort, buses get you covered, too.

Cons of Bus Travel

  • Intercity bus terminals can be located outside the city centre in the outskirts. It means you will need to calculate extra time and money to get there. In certain destinations getting from the bus terminal can cost you more than you would expect because only a limited number of transportation companies is allowed to serve the route – and prices may be inflated.

  • During busy weekends or high season buses serving some tourist destinations may run out of schedule and require advanced booking.

  • While buses are not as weather dependent as ferries, bus trips can also be delayed or cancelled due to bad weather or road conditions – keep it in mind if travelling during certain seasons or to certain destinations.

Kumho Samco Company Reviews

A
The bus is old and dirty, the curtains are torn. We even noticed a cockroach on the bus. But there is Wi-Fi in the bus. In general, the trip was quite comfortable, except for the fact that the driver constantly honked. At the beginning of the trip we were offered to pay 40$ for a visa to Cambodia, but we refused and bought the visa ourselves at the border for 30$ (it was not difficult and did not take much time).

It took more than 7h instead of the 4h planned. We were dropped far from the destination to wait to change bus. It was really bad experience.

The bus is clean and comfortable - if over 6foot then will be a little small but still very good. Would happily get again. You get on the local bus to the sleeper bus which is ~30 minutes of of the city, a really easy transition as people check tickets and point you to the right bus. 5*

Bus was clean, seats a bit narrow, and short (you need to be laying down all the time), but quite comfortable in overall. Border crossing took way more than I had anticipated and, together with all the stops that we made, the whole trip lasted 7.5 hours. Also the procedure on the Moc Bai - Ba Vet border crossing was a bit confusing. First step was that once we were on board in Saigon, we handed all our passports to the bus company person. Then on the borders he gave them to the Vietnamese authorities who after stamping them they gave them back directly to us. We then boarded the bus again for a few meters and then got off again at Cambodia side. There we gave the passport to the Cambodian authorities and continued without them. We even got on the bus and went to a restaurant nearby. After about half an hour the bus company person showed with the tickets at hand stamped by the Cambodian authorities. This part was the trickiest since noone had explained beforehand what the procedure would be and kept all of us wondering if everything is going to be ok with our passports. Everything was perfectly fine in the end, and I am just mentioning our experience to prepare future travelers. We continued our trip with no problems. One more thing that's worth mentioning for anyone traveling with a small kid, is that even though they are not required to get a ticket in general (as long as they share the seats with their parents), when crossing borders in particular, they need to get something like a "half" ticket. At least that's what the bus company claimed. So we paid 250000 VND upon boarding in Saigon.

I had a no frills transportation from Ho Chi Minh to Phnom Penh through this Bus operator. They even helped me to get visa on arrival which requires some extra documentations for Indian passport holders. I recommend Indian passport holders to obtain Combodia e-visa online, at least a week before the travel to avoid such issues. Bus ride was comfortable, sleeper seats were good enough even though a little less spacious than that of another bus we took within Vietnam. Also this route is 3 times costlier than the same distance travelled within Vietnam. But that's the same for all bus companies running in this route. Bus arrived a few hours later than expected time even though it's still ok for the distance covered. I think it's better if the expected time can be updated to reflect the common time of arrival. - Review by Neo Sree. Checkout NeoSree Stories online for detailed travel stories.

Confortable sleeper bus, although not designed for the size of westerners. I'm 5' 10" and could just fit, however the footwell is very tight - your feet will have to sit at right angles! Pick-up point at Mien Dong was easy - e-ticket tells you which of the 50 ticket windows to go to, they then give you a paper ticket with the bus's vehicle registration to aid finding it. Drop-off point is NOT in Phan Thiet - it stops short at Phu Thuy, then you can take a taxi.

I don't know why you put the legal disclaimer about this operator service in the voucher because service and the bus were pretty comfy, even for European standards. I don't give 5 stars because they were more than a hour late.

Aside from the ticket telling us to arrive at an office in HCMC an hour before, and that being completely wrong, the rest of the journey was good. Go straight to the bus terminal where the bus leaves from and not the office for the “mid transfer”

The bus was on time and in the border everything was smooth. Although operator representative on the bus didn't speak any English it was little bit hard to understand why they collected our passports and where to go but we followed some locals and did as they did. Basically they collected passports on the bus then gave them back before Camobodian border. We had to leave the bus and showed our passport when we got the stamp that we left Cambodia. Then before we got back to the bus the company's representator collected again our passports and we drove a little bit to enter Vietnam. Then we had to take our bags and went inside where representator dealed with passports. When everything was okay then we had to scan our bags and got back to the bus. We had multiple entry visa to Vietnam, so we didn't deal with the money.

Looking at the comments, I expected much worse. The bus was almost empty, so you could sit wherever you wanted. However, I stayed in my assigned seat, which was a single seat. The seats are comfortable and there's plenty of legroom. What's more, they give you a small bottle of water. The bus was on time However paying 5$ extra for the visa through the company I had to pay 1$ extra because supposedly I had an e-visa for Vietnam.

We arrived an hour before which was excellent! It was nice to be in a minivan - especially when we got to the border cause we did’nt had to wait for the entire bus at the border to pass - but just s small group since we travelled in a minivan! So I all went quite Quick and smoothly. Allthough, they were really bad at giving out information. Especially when we had to hand over our passport to them for a while which was quite uncomfortable. But later we understood that they did it to make the process faster :-)

Charging 5 USD for the visa (on top of the visa fee) is fine by me, let's call it a service fee. But why the hell do I need to pay another dollar for having an e-visa for Vietnam when I am leaving Vietnam, this I won't understand. You need a bribe- fine, but please let me know beforehand, because I had no dollars left and was thus threatened by the fat cat Vietnamese immigration officer as well as the bus staff who was fully cooperating with him. It's not about the amount, it's about the employees being dicks.

This is a really lovely bus.. Unfortunately there is no toilet and the driver was very dangerous. He was cutting cars off and two nearly crashed into a concrete barrier. I felt significantly more unsafe than ever on this bus. The first toilet stop was 2.5 to 3 hours into the trip so be warned. The lady working at Mui Ne Kumho was also extremely rude to my friend when she was checking us in.
