Traveling by bus from Ho Chi Minh to Phnom Penh

Hi everyone,

Any bus companies you’d recommend for Ho Chi Minh to Phnom Penh?

Thanks!

Yes. I traveled with this company last November. It seemed amazing to me, but on Google reviews, a lot of people criticize the $50 price tag.

Actually, I think it was more like $40, though some say the visa was only $35—but that was in 2024!

The price difference with flying isn’t huge—you can find flights for around 60 € including checked baggage, depending on the dates, and it only takes 1 hour. But yeah, it’s clear that for 280 km, the bus takes about 6h30 and costs $35. Giant Ibis | Phnom Penh to Siem Reap, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh, Battambang, Kampot, Sihanoukville by bus

Hi there, I traveled in 2023 from Siem Reap to Sihanoukville with Giant Ibis overnight bus. Bus was great, driving was smooth—I’d recommend it.

Thanks everyone. Yeah, $50 seems huge for Southeast Asia.
