Sihanoukville to Ho Chi Minh Destination Reviews

Journey was good, border crossing went very easy. Only thing is that the bus drivers tried to charge us money for a so called “border fee” which doesnt exist. Also for a visa which we allready had, so that didnt make any sense. Watch out for that!

We were very late and then weren't taken to the agreed location. When I asked the staff what was going on, he pushed me. If I had wanted to arrive three hours later, I could have used a cheaper provider.

Amazing service! Got a private taxi with big and comfortable seats to Phnom Penh. Then we waited there for around half an hour before a van picked us up and took us to Ho Chi Minh City. Border was easy and van was comfortable.

The driver was nice, but he used the cellphone about 95% of the time while he drove the car. But fast and efficient.

Very comfortable and superclean minivan from Sihanoukville to Phnom Penh with Wlan and aircon. We were only two passengers. Changed to a bus in Phnom Penh, had to wait there about an hour which was no problem at all. Bus was comfortable as well with a lot of space. At the border we didn‘t really know what was going on, but everything worked well and was arranged for us. Don‘t worry if they take your passports, they organize everything for you. We arrived in Ho Chi Minh about an hour late due to weather and traffic. All in all it was a good journey with no negative aspects.

Do not expect to travel with one bus the whole trip. We had to change the van/bus four times. Everything worked out but we arrived three hours late. We went 2 1/2 hours on the bumpy route to kampot and crossed the border in Prek Chak. (From: Sihanoukville To: Ho Chi Minh)
