Mixed experience. First part from Hcmc to pp went very smooth, all on time, stops exactly as promised, immigration went very quick also due to help from a driver. Second part from pp to Sihanouk not so good, i was placed in a van and waited there for about an hour until other passengers arrived. We had a substantial delay (1.5 h) and the driver drove very dangerously for about 30 minutes.

This company took our money for a 7 hour trip from Ho Chi Minh City to Sihanoukville and it ended up taking us 15 hours and they couldn’t have cared less. I would recommend booking with another operator as this one just lies about the time to get you to buy their ticket.
