In Ho Chi Minh City, the bus didn't arrive at the convenient arrival point. We had to call the taxi we had booked.

Soooo, as we arrived at the Hahn store (half an hour earlier as requested) we needed to wait a quarter hour for the bus to arrive. The bus driver was really funny and friendly. This bus brought us to the sleeping bus whose driver was the worst. I was confused by his handsigns and vietnamnese language (he didn‘t speak englisch and i didn‘t vietnamnese) for so long that he shout at me to go on into the bus. The bus is way less comfortable as expected: The „cabins“ are litually as big as me (183 cm tall and normal width) so I was pretty lucky. If you are any taller that would be not really comfortable. The charging station wasn‘t working. The second bag needs to be really small to fit in the space in front of your feet ( there is an extra space for that) One break for peeing or shopping idk and idc i woke up for a second and decided not having to pee but to sleep. And every 20 minutes there is a big break so that you think there will be part od an accident. All in all… actually really uncomfortable situations we were in but it got the job done.

It wasn't as comfortable as some buses where you actually have room to sleep. I wouldn't recommend it for overweight people who would quickly feel cramped. What I particularly disliked was that I had planned to reserve three seats for my three-year-old daughter and the two of us. However, the company offers the child's seat free of charge without warning that they're removing a seat. So it was very difficult to sleep with a three-year-old in a space of approximately 170 cm by 50 cm. Furthermore, this system includes children up to the age of 11. I strongly advise against it for families! On the other hand, the driver(s) drove very well.

The Bus was good. But we arrived 2,5 h too early, so at 3.30am we stood on the street and had nothing to go.

* We left Nah Trang at 10:45 PM (actually 10:40 PM - so be on time) and arrived in Ho Chi Minh City at 4 AM (not the scheduled 5:45 AM as written on the ticket) * Sleeping area is small, real small. If you're 180+, you'll have to bend your legs. * Bus was really cold. No blankets. Wear pants and a long shirt. * When we arrived I didn't have Grab taxi so I went across the street - there's a big taxi stand across the street. Ignore the taxi drivers charging 200 where the bus arrives.

I arrived to the pick-up place I was told to go to 23 minutes before the time appointed both by the agent in WhatsApp and in my ticket. When I arrived there, the agent on duty told the shuttle had already left!.. He ordered me a ride to the bus station outside the town, for which I had to pay myself. I had no choice and agreed. The ride drive my to some small country rode where we stopped in front of a residential house that looked nothing like a bus station. I insisted this couldn't have been the right place. The driver called the agent who ordered my ride and turned back. We went about 2kms ps the bus station. When we finally found it, I was there luckily just 5 minutes before the bus departed. When the driver of the ride demanded I pay him more because my ride was ordered incorrectly, I refused, paid him the original price and told him to claim it from the bus company. He proceeded to threaten to throw a rock at me. The bus company flatly refused to pay for that extra ride I had to cover too. The bus ride itself was fine. The company puts customers safety at risk by bad scheduling.

Travelling by bus essentials

  • If you are planning to travel during the high season, weekends, or national holidays, booking your bus tickets in advance is highly recommended. The demand is at its highest, yet very often, the number of coaches serving the route remains the same. The earlier you reserve your seat, the better. On some routes, you need to secure your ticket more than a month in advance; on others, a couple-of-days advanced booking is enough. During such periods, try to book online beforehand whenever possible, as showing up at the bus station without a ticket may result in many-hours of waiting in the queue or leave you downright stranded.
  • VIP, 1st, Gold, and similar bus tickets are the most expensive option, but they provide a higher level of comfort. Normally the price of such tickets will include wide soft reclining seats, blankets, water and snacks or lunch, and sometimes some toiletries. Upper-class buses travel faster, make fewer stops during the route, and normally provide more spacious seating to their passengers and a better travel experience.
  • Not all buses have an on-board toilet, but generally, for all trips longer than three hours, all operators schedule a bathroom and/or a lunch stop. While operators definitely do their best to keep on-board toilets clean, the smell may be an issue sometimes. For longer trips, booking a seat a bit farther from the toilet may be a good idea. Also, using bathroom stops for your toilet needs is always better than trying to find your balance in an on-board toilet on the run.
  • If you travel by an air-con bus, make sure to pack layers. A hoodie, a warm scarf, or a beanie hat may prove a good idea. Air-conditioning on buses tends to be excessive, and running nose and sore throats abound after even not the longest bus rides.
  • Always use the security belts even if your bus ride attendant or driver does not insist on it. Your safety comes first – for you, for sure. All buses normally are equipped with security belts, but they may be fixed behind your seat. Take time to find the belt and fix it appropriately.
  • To avoid being disturbed by overhead lights, switched on during stops even at night, and too loud music or sound from the on-board entertainment system, have earplugs and a sleeping mask at hand.
  • As a courtesy to other passengers, avoid using strong perfumes or smelly foods. Some foods like cheeses or durians are forbidden to take on-board – check in advance. Alcohol is also prohibited on the majority of buses.
  • Note that if the bus requires refuelling en-route, passengers will be asked to get off the bus. Operators are not allowed to refuel with passengers on board due to safety reasons. Usually, it takes from 5 to 10 minutes and is often combined with a toilet/lunch stop.
  • If not stated otherwise in your tickets, arrive at the bus station 20-30 minutes before departure. It will give you enough time to find the departure platform and check-in. For international trips, you may need more time for check-in and border formalities.
