About Kumho Samco
Bus is a convenient way of travel no matter whether you need to get to a neighboring town a couple of hours away or venture further afield crossing the whole country. Whatever your budget, buses have you covered. Express buses offer the most affordable ticket price for travellers who have very little money to spend. VIP options are geared toward those who do not want to compromise on comfort. Before you jump on a bus, make sure you choose the type of service which suits you best. For a long-haul trip look for a VIP or first-class coach which provides non-stop service to your destination or just call a minor number of stations along the way. Express or local buses in many cases may prove an acceptable choice for shorter trips, but longer rides are often not the best buy. Study the timetable before going as many long-haul destinations are served by night buses, and some offer wider seats or sleeper berths for such travels. Make an online reservation for your bus ticket with Kumho Samco. Other travellers’ reviews will help you to choose the best ticket and coach class.

Kumho Samco Ticket Prices & Bus Classes
One of the best things about bus travel is that you can almost tailor-make your trip adjusting it to your requirements for privacy and comfort. Different classes and types of buses cater to the different needs of travellers. The cheapest trips are normally offered by standard-class buses. They may be called local, express or ordinary. These are a good choice for shorter trips. Sleepers or VIP coaches are good both for longer and overnight trips. They may offer berths or wide soft reclining seats, sometimes with built-in massage options, blankets, soft drinks, and snacks, or more substantial meals on board or during toilet or refuelling stops. Travelling by night buses allows you to save on a hotel room, but to ensure the most comfortable ride do choose the class of your bus wisely. Prices always depend on the distance you ride and the type of coach. For some, even shorter trips, it is worth investing some extra money and buying a seat on a VIP bus as it can save you twice as much time as you spend travelling by an ordinary bus.
Travel by Bus: Pros & Cons
Pros of Bus Travel
- Bus is the best choice to get to destinations that are not connected by rail or planes. The network of buses often covers almost the whole country, and their routes are well and long-established.
- Opposite to air travel and sometimes rail travel, taking a bus does not require arriving at the bus station much in advance. Check-in, even on international routes, does not take much time. Luggage allowances are usually very traveller-friendly, and the fee for extra luggage, if limits are set, is normally not very high.
- Bus tickets can be more affordable compared to air or fast train tickets. There is always a choice of ticket classes for all pockets. Cheaper standard options may be a bit slow and do not offer top comfort, but anyway acceptable and bring you to your destination. On longer routes, toilets or toilet stops as well as snacks, water, and sometimes toiletries and blankets are almost always included in the price.
- If you are ready to spend more, some VIP coaches offer seating comparable to business class on a plane with wide soft reclining seats, blankets, fewer passengers, and many other perks to make your trip a pleasant journey.
Cons of Bus Travel
- Newer intercity bus terminals are very often located out of the city close to bigger highways to allow buses to avoid city congestion. Unfortunately, it may create extra challenges for travellers, too. Getting to such a terminal may be a problem as in some destinations there are restrictions on vehicles allowed to enter the terminal, and you will have to use special carriers to get there. This results in higher costs as prices may be inflated. Also do calculate extra time if you are travelling during rush hours, especially if you are not familiar with the traffic situation at your starting point.
- Buses are probably the means of transport which runs out of schedule more often than trains or planes. They are heavily dependent on the road situation which sometimes can be unpredictable – accidents, road construction works, detours, etc. This is especially true for travels during weekends, high season, or national holidays. Do keep this in mind and do not plan tight connections.
- Travelling on certain routes or during the most popular periods may require advanced booking. Bear in mind that it is not always possible to show up at the bus station and hop on the next bus – tickets may well be all sold out, so organize your trip accordingly.

I wasn't happy that 12go Asia sold a 9pm bus when there is no 9pm bus. The company contacted me straight away that the bus leaves at 10.15pm, so I have no idea why 12go Asia sells a 9pm departure. I was disappointed. The bus we were on had the smallest sleeper bus I've seen but the company staff were lovely and I'd use the bus again. I just feel 12go Asia need to be more honest about the times when they sell tickets.

Very good was on time and very comfortable, only thing would say is make sure you read all of the description especially what time to arrive as we had to get a transfer bus an hour before our departure time

The bus was good clean and we got water and blanket and it was more comfort than I was expecting. We arrived like 40 min later (but for us it was fine). But I was really surprised because we wanted to make sure that the address in paper is correct... And we fined out that we have to be there one hour earlier, because another bus will take us to bus stop.

Luxurious for a sleeper. most affordable option and CLEAN. 2 rest stops and they communicate that to you before hand. The bus driver I had was kind, responsible and good driver. Air con worked well. Only 4 people were on the bus so very private ride. Also provided a free shuttle car into the actual Saigon city. Would recommend

Do your map research in advance. As long as you know were your going for the bus station address using GPS using grab in Ho Chi Minh and then a motorcycle to the pier in Ha Tien you will be fine. Pack light, large luggage will definitely slow you down and you will pay more trying to find transportation to accommodate your luggage.

Автобус старый и грязный, шторки порванные. Мы даже заметили таракана в автобусе. Зато в автобусе есть Wi-Fi. В целом поездка прошла достаточно комфортно, если не считать того, что водитель постоянно сигналит. В начале поездки нам предложили заплатить 40$ за визу в Камбоджу, но мы отказались и купили визу самостоятельно на границе за 30$ (это было не сложно и не заняло много времени).

It took more than 7h instead of the 4h planned. We were dropped far from the destination to wait to change bus. It was really bad experience.

The bus is clean and comfortable - if over 6foot then will be a little small but still very good. Would happily get again. You get on the local bus to the sleeper bus which is ~30 minutes of of the city, a really easy transition as people check tickets and point you to the right bus. 5*

Bus was clean, seats a bit narrow, and short (you need to be laying down all the time), but quite comfortable in overall. Border crossing took way more than I had anticipated and, together with all the stops that we made, the whole trip lasted 7.5 hours. Also the procedure on the Moc Bai - Ba Vet border crossing was a bit confusing. First step was that once we were on board in Saigon, we handed all our passports to the bus company person. Then on the borders he gave them to the Vietnamese authorities who after stamping them they gave them back directly to us. We then boarded the bus again for a few meters and then got off again at Cambodia side. There we gave the passport to the Cambodian authorities and continued without them. We even got on the bus and went to a restaurant nearby. After about half an hour the bus company person showed with the tickets at hand stamped by the Cambodian authorities. This part was the trickiest since noone had explained beforehand what the procedure would be and kept all of us wondering if everything is going to be ok with our passports. Everything was perfectly fine in the end, and I am just mentioning our experience to prepare future travelers. We continued our trip with no problems.
One more thing that's worth mentioning for anyone traveling with a small kid, is that even though they are not required to get a ticket in general (as long as they share the seats with their parents), when crossing borders in particular, they need to get something like a "half" ticket. At least that's what the bus company claimed. So we paid 250000 VND upon boarding in Saigon.

I had a no frills transportation from Ho Chi Minh to Phnom Penh through this Bus operator. They even helped me to get visa on arrival which requires some extra documentations for Indian passport holders. I recommend Indian passport holders to obtain Combodia e-visa online, at least a week before the travel to avoid such issues. Bus ride was comfortable, sleeper seats were good enough even though a little less spacious than that of another bus we took within Vietnam. Also this route is 3 times costlier than the same distance travelled within Vietnam. But that's the same for all bus companies running in this route. Bus arrived a few hours later than expected time even though it's still ok for the distance covered. I think it's better if the expected time can be updated to reflect the common time of arrival. - Review by Neo Sree. Checkout NeoSree Stories online for detailed travel stories.

Confortable sleeper bus, although not designed for the size of westerners. I'm 5' 10" and could just fit, however the footwell is very tight - your feet will have to sit at right angles!
Pick-up point at Mien Dong was easy - e-ticket tells you which of the 50 ticket windows to go to, they then give you a paper ticket with the bus's vehicle registration to aid finding it. Drop-off point is NOT in Phan Thiet - it stops short at Phu Thuy, then you can take a taxi.

I don't know why you put the legal disclaimer about this operator service in the voucher because service and the bus were pretty comfy, even for European standards. I don't give 5 stars because they were more than a hour late.

Aside from the ticket telling us to arrive at an office in HCMC an hour before, and that being completely wrong, the rest of the journey was good. Go straight to the bus terminal where the bus leaves from and not the office for the “mid transfer”

The bus was on time and in the border everything was smooth.
Although operator representative on the bus didn't speak any English it was little bit hard to understand why they collected our passports and where to go but we followed some locals and did as they did.
Basically they collected passports on the bus then gave them back before Camobodian border. We had to leave the bus and showed our passport when we got the stamp that we left Cambodia. Then before we got back to the bus the company's representator collected again our passports and we drove a little bit to enter Vietnam. Then we had to take our bags and went inside where representator dealed with passports. When everything was okay then we had to scan our bags and got back to the bus. We had multiple entry visa to Vietnam, so we didn't deal with the money.

Au vue des commentaires je m'attendais à bien pire . Le bus était quasiment vide ce qui permettait de se mettre où l'on voulait . Cependant je suis reste a mon siège attitré qui était un siège unique . Les sièges sont confortable et l'espace pour les jambes est spacieux .
De plus ils donnent une petite bouteille d'eau.
Le bus était a l'heure
Cependant payant 5$ d'extra pour le visa en passant par la compagnie j'ai du payer 1$ supplémentaire car soit disant j'avais un e-visa pour le Vietnam
