Over Mekong Express

Reizen per bus is een handige manier van reizen, ongeacht of je naar een naburige stad een paar uur verderop wilt of verder weg het hele land wilt doorkruisen. Wat je budget ook is, met de bus geraak je op je bestemming. Expressbussen bieden de meest betaalbare ticketprijs voor reizigers die weinig geld te besteden hebben. VIP-opties zijn gericht op degenen die niet willen inleveren op comfort. Voordat je in een bus stapt, moet je het type dienst kiezen dat het beste bij je past. Voor een langeafstandsreis zoek je een VIP- of eersteklasbus die non-stop naar je bestemming rijdt of onderweg slechts enkele keren een tussenstop maakt. Expres- of streekbussen zijn in veel gevallen een aanvaardbare keuze voor kortere reizen, maar langere ritten zijn vaak niet de beste koop. Bestudeer de dienstregeling voordat je gaat, want veel langeafstandsbestemmingen worden bediend door nachtbussen, en sommige bieden bredere stoelen of slaapplaatsen voor dergelijke reizen. Reserveer je busticket online bij Mekong Express. De beoordelingen van andere reizigers helpen je om het beste ticket en de beste klasse te kiezen.

Mekong Express Ticketprijzen & Busklassen

Een van de beste dingen aan busreizen is dat je je reis bijna op maat kan maken en kan aanpassen aan je wensen voor privacy en comfort. Verschillende klassen en typen bussen komen tegemoet aan de verschillende behoeften van reizigers. De goedkoopste reizen worden doorgaans aangeboden door standaardklasse bussen. Ze kunnen lokaal, express of gewoon worden genoemd. Deze zijn een goede keuze voor kortere reizen. Slaapbussen of VIP-bussen zijn goed voor langere reizen en overnachtingen. Ze bieden slaapplaatsen of brede zachte stoelen met verstelbare rugleuning, soms met ingebouwde massagemogelijkheden, dekens, frisdranken en snacks, of meer uitgebreide maaltijden aan boord of tijdens toilet- of tankstops. Als je met een nachtbus reist, kan je besparen op een hotelkamer, maar om de meest comfortabele rit te garanderen moet je de klasse van je bus verstandig kiezen. De prijzen zijn altijd afhankelijk van de afstand die je rijdt en het type bus. Voor sommige, zelfs kortere reizen, is het de moeite waard wat extra geld te investeren en een zitplaats in een VIP-bus te kopen, omdat je daarmee twee keer zoveel tijd kan besparen als met een gewone bus.

Reizen met de bus: voor- en nadelen

Voordelen van reizen per bus

  • De bus is de beste keuze om bestemmingen te bereiken die niet per trein of vliegtuig bereikbaar zijn. Het netwerk van bussen bestrijkt vaak bijna het hele land, en hun routes zijn vaak goed uitgewerkt.
  • In tegenstelling tot vliegreizen en soms treinreizen, hoef je met de bus niet lang van tevoren op het busstation te zijn. Inchecken, zelfs op internationale routes, neemt niet veel tijd in beslag. De toegestane bagage is meestal zeer reizigersvriendelijk, en de vergoeding voor extra bagage, als er beperkingen zijn vastgesteld, is meestal niet erg duur.
  • Bustickets kunnen voordeliger zijn dan vliegtuig- of sneltreintickets. Er is altijd een keuze aan ticketklassen voor alle portemonnees. Goedkopere standaardopties zijn misschien wat traag en bieden geen topcomfort, maar zijn hoe dan ook aanvaardbaar en brengen je naar je bestemming. Op langere trajecten zijn toiletten of toiletstops en snacks, water en soms toiletartikelen en dekens bijna altijd bij de prijs inbegrepen.
  • Als je bereid bent meer uit te geven, bieden sommige VIP-bussen zitplaatsen die vergelijkbaar zijn met business class in een vliegtuig, met brede, zachte verstelbare stoelen, dekens, minder passagiers en vele andere extraatjes om van je reis een aangename reis te maken.

Nadelen van reizen per bus

  • Nieuwere intercity busterminals liggen vaak buiten de stad in de buurt van grotere snelwegen, zodat de bussen de files in de stad kunnen vermijden. Helaas kan dit ook extra uitdagingen opleveren voor reizigers. Het bereiken van zo'n terminal kan een probleem zijn, omdat er op sommige bestemmingen beperkingen gelden voor voertuigen die de terminal mogen binnenrijden, en je speciale vervoerders moet gebruiken om er te komen. Dit leidt tot hogere kosten omdat de prijzen kunnen worden opgedreven. Reken ook extra tijd als je tijdens de spits reist, vooral als je de verkeerssituatie op je vertrekpunt niet kent.
  • Bussen zijn waarschijnlijk het vervoermiddel dat vaker vertraging heeft dan treinen of vliegtuigen. Zij zijn sterk afhankelijk van de situatie op de weg, die soms onvoorspelbaar kan zijn door ongevallen, wegwerkzaamheden, omleidingen of andere omstandigheden. Dit geldt vooral voor reizen tijdens het weekend, het hoogseizoen of nationale feestdagen. Houd hier rekening mee en houd voldoende tijd over voor verbindingen.
  • Voor reizen op bepaalde routes of tijdens de populairste periodes kan het nodig zijn vooraf te reserveren. Houd er rekening mee dat het niet altijd mogelijk is om op het busstation te verschijnen en op de volgende bus te springen - tickets kunnen allemaal uitverkocht zijn, dus plan je reis zorgvuldig.

The driver spent nearly the entire ride talking on his cell phone or with earbuds in listening to music which did not seem safe and was a bit annoying to those of us in the small van who might want to relax, sleep or read.

The bus left on time. Plenty of leg room ment a comfy journey. Ac worked well it was almost chilly, had to use scarf as a blanket, so is good for anyone suffering with the heat. Even though the lady on the bus saw our pre payed visa for Cambodia ($35) she tried to charge us again another $37dollers each. She told us if we didn’t pay the police would keep our passports and would let us into the country. We refused to give her more money or our passports and said we’d go through customs ourselves. We were then told despite our bags being in the hold and wouldn’t let us retrieve them, they wouldn’t wait for us at the border if we got through after them. When we arrived at the border we got straight through, the staff at the border where friendly and helpful and it took us about fifteen minutes to leave Vietnam and enter Cambodia not being charged extra by anyone. We waited almost an hour for the rest of our bus at a cafe on the other side of the border. There were other people on the bus that day that like us prepayed their visas but were scared into paying the bus staff again costing over $70 each to enter the country. because of this I wouldn’t use the Mekong express company again. Please stop scamming your customers!!

The stewards were not that friendly or helpful. The air conditioner was blowing constantly on my head with no way to turn it off so I had to jerry rig something to cover the vent. They gave us a 5 minute bathroom break the first time and a 20 minute break the second time which included lunch at a nasty roadside place. The only positive thing is the movies they showed to take one's mind off of the 8 hour trip

On the whole a good service. Arrived at the bus station and our tickets weren't on their system which was worrying but luckily there were 2 free seats so they gave us those. Not sure what would have happened otherwise though.. booked through 12go asia a week earlier. First leg was on a mini bus but plenty of stops so that was fine. Then an hour wait at Phnom Penh before changing to a coach which was nice, free water and snack, toilet on board, air con. Journey took 15 hours in total rather than the stated 12.

Die Fahrt an sich war super entspannt, allerdings sind wir 2 Stunden später angekommen als angegeben, also nichts von Express Bus zu spüren. Ausreise aus Vietnam hat Ewigkeiten gedauert, Einreise ziemlich schnell und ohne 1 Dollar Servicegebühr

El bus era bastante viejo. La azafata de Ho Chi Minh a Phong pen fue bien práctica con el tema de la frontera camboyana. Tuvimos un pasajero que se sintió mal y tuvo que ser internado a 3 horas de llegar a siem rep. Llegamos sobre las 10 de la noche. Fue largo.....

The bus was nice and comfortable. The AC worked fine. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the procedeurs at the border worked fine. We didn't arrive at the final destination on time, and that's more or less the only negative thing I can come up with. But in this part of the world, one cannot really expect things to work on a minute schedule. Sit back and enjoy the ride! The price was very affordable, and I can recommend this trip for anyone who wants to get from Saigon to Phneom Penh.

It was a really comfortable ride. We even got free cookies and water. The bus stopped 2 times for the 6-hour ride. Was on schedule and the seat was big and comfortable. There was no free WIFI at the time. Also, it is not necessary to turn up 1 hour in advance. Most of the people come 10 - 15 min before. That was sufficient enough. Overall, was a good ride.

The 1st bus from Ho Chi Minh to Phnom Penh is very old and the AC is not working properly. They transfer us to another bus from Phnom Penh with better AC with free cookies and a bottle of water but ripped us off during the bus stop over for dinner. I ordered fried rice with chicken but only got fried rice and paid 5 USD for it!

Tiny space for legs Many many stops to pick up and drop off locals along the way Had no choice but to support the Cambodian corrupted system by paying an extra $5 to get our passport stamped faster. You can always refuse but they warn you that you’ll have to wait 1.30h at the border and the bus won’t wait for you. I would not really care if the bus ticket from Siem Reap to HoChiMinh was not $30ish, which is ALOT of money here

Wo do they charge 5$ extra for the visa on arrival when they don't do anything? Wow you give the customer the forms, but we can pick them up at the border itself for free.

The trip was generally ok, the driver was friendly and stopped once during the journey at a nice shop/cafe with a clean toilet block. There were a few issues with the bus, air con wasn't very good so it did get quite hot on the bus and there really wasn't very much leg room. It was advertised as a 3 hour journey and although in the conditions it does say journeys can take longer, my trip took 4 hours. From speaking to other travellers they also found the journey to be 4 hours, this is fine if it's the case but please change this on the advertisement. It wasn't the best bus journey I have had in South East Asia but I would do this route again.

Laugh a minute. 12go sends you to collection point by night market. But bus leaves from elsewhere. But we got picked up and collected other passengers then taken to bus station. An interesting exercise we drove past the river collection point 4 times before we actually departed. If you have an e- visa. Then expect a 2 dollar "processing fee" viet immigation officer gets one dollar and co get the other. Just pay it. Consider it a urgent processing fee. Ha ha. Dinner stop is well overpriced for what it is but. Just accept it and move on. Got into hcmc very late after entertaining bus driver chicken fights with big trucks. All in another day in cambodia.

Overall, the trip was nice. The queue we had at the border is not that long from what I heard from others. Would be helpful if instructions we're clear about visa. We were told to get off the bus at the border but we were not instructed as to where to proceed. Plus I found out it's cheaper to buy tickets from the bus company than 12Go Asia.

Pick up point sent on email wrong (103 Sisowath Street). Paid for a TukTuk hostel to pick up point, was there by 1:15 pm so 1 hours and 15 minutes ahead of schedule, and the people at the desk said that I had to go to the bus terminal. So I had to pay another TukTuk. Really unprofessional

Luckily we arrived at the bus stop an hour early, as we were told to get on the bus that was about to leave because there was no bus coming for our scheduled time. That was pretty unnerving. The AC also didn’t work and we were stuck at a rest stop for about an hour and a half while they tried to fix it. We spent the rest of the (3 hr) ride with the windows open, though unfortunately my window couldn’t open so it was very hot. The staff was extremely kind. The bus attendant was awesome and kept us updated at every point. The complimentary cookies and water were also much appreciated! The staff is really the only reason I’m giving this company a 3 star rating!
