Trip from Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh

This is my first trip to Ho Chi Minh City and also considered one of the longest bus journey that i had so far. The journey from Phnom Penh City to Ho Chi Minh City took about 8 hours by road. The journey was actually quite interesting as we could see the cultures and also past through a few of the countryside and the border of Cambodia and Vietnam before we reached Ho Chi Minh City. The bus fare was quite reasonable at only USD14 per way.

Tired Face. Woke up at 6am on that day to catch the bus at 7am.



Along the Journey


The bus that i took to Ho Chi Minh was attached with a washroom for the convenience for the passengers. However, for those who was sitting at the back row might have to suffer from the bad smell.

Along the journey, i had seen some cars sitting for more than 10 persons in a Saloon car and some carrying with tons of luggages. I found it very interesting and had taken a few pictures to be posted in my blog. Not only that, we also saw some people sitting on top of the car with some of the luggages.

Gone through a ferry from Cambodia Border to the border of Vietnam. It took for 1 hour of queeue as that day was a public holiday and many cars were actually going to Vietnam. You can also see different sellers selling food items, VCD along the journey, like the sellers along Miri-Baram Ferry.

Arrived Ho Chi Minh City at 3.00pm on that day. Feel exhausted after the long journey and long queeue in the custom and Ferry. After the 8 hours journey, we decided to travel back to Phnom Penh by air instead of land. I will never travel to Ho Chi Minh again by land.
