tallen1966 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Is there a bus that goes to Ho Chi Minh City from Pattaya? If so, how much does it cost and how long does it take? Any other recommendations on how to get there? Will an American need a visa? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waow...... hope you have a good fat deposit on your rear end cause that would be one hel_l of a trip. By the time you get back, almost time to head out again. Go there alot for work, Flight the only way I know, and you need a visa ( I think about 2000 b per single entry ). Multiple possible, but need sponsoring company Edited September 25, 2006 by skippybangkok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florin Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 You can take some kind of transportation to the Cambodian border at Poipet (bus, train, etc.) , then a bus/van/taxi to Phnom Penh, then a boat across the Mekhong Delta to Ho Chi Minh City...enjoy!

ace Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 1. Take a cheap flight to Phnom Penh, enjoy there for a while, and then take the bus to HCMC.2. Not long ago elderly friends went Trat, Sihanoukville, Phnom Penh. Hi, how did that work with the visa requirements? Did they get a visa for Vietnam while in Cambodia, with the return bus trip booked? I am wondering if it is easier to fly back to Bangkok (going on a bit of a tour of the region)!

jbaldwin Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 There is a Vietnamese consulate in Sihanoukville. Visa cost $35 and are available next day (I think you can get same day for an additional charge). No need to show exit ticket but you do need to state your departure point and need to go to immigration in Vietnam if you change your plan. If you already have a visa, then the quickest way from Pattaya to HCM to take twice a week minibus to Phnom Pehn (I think run by Ko Chang Travel and includes overnight stop in Koh Kong) then bus Phnom Pehn to HCM. In total will take three days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
