Vietnam Calling? Here’s How to Answer

January 11, 2023 by Robert Schrader Leave a Comment

Some travelers believe that visiting Vietnam after Thailand is redundant and repetitive, so allow me to reassure you: It’s not. The only real thing these two countries have in common is their status as tourism powerhouses—apart from that, they couldn’t be more different.

The real determiner, to be sure, is time. After spending several weeks in Thailand, do you really have another 2-3 weeks to spend in Vietnam? Alternatively, are you OK with going there only for a few days, knowing you’ll need to return if you want to see the country in a comprehensive way?

These, of course, are questions for another post. I’m here not so much to persuade you that you should travel from Thailand to Vietnam , but to advise you on how to do so once you’ve already come to that conclusion.

Is Vietnam Worth Visiting?

Vietnam is a huge and fascinating country, with at least as many worthwhile destinations and experiences as you find in Thailand, and a variety of cuisine that is just as compelling. Assuming that you have the time and funds to visit Vietnam, doing so is absolutely worthwhile. The issue, for many travelers, is that a long trip to Thailand is simply as much as they can handle.

Another thing to consider? Traveling to Vietnam usually requires a visa, which you can’t generally receive upon arrival unless you apply in advance. Obviously, if you’re planning now you can take care of this online , but if you leave it until the last minute you may forget. As a result, many travelers push this back and end up skipping out on Vietnam entirely.

How to Travel from Thailand to Vietnam

Fly from bangkok to hanoi.

If you want to start your trip to Vietnam in the country’s capital, you can take one of the several daily flights from Bangkok. Depending on which airline you use, you can fly from either Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang airports to Hanoi.

From from Bangkok to Saigon

Saigon is another popular entry point for travelers heading from Thailand to Vietnam. As is the case with Hanoi flights, those bound for Ho Chi Minh City (as Saigon is sometimes also called) can generally begin their journey at either of Bangkok’s two airports.

Fly from Bangkok to Da Nang or Da Lat

In recent years, airlines have been adding flights to secondary Vietnamese cities as well. Notably, several airlines now fly nonstop from Bangkok to Da Nang , the hub of central Vietnam. Depending on the day, you may also be able to board a direct flight to the mountain town of Da Lat or to Can Tho, in the Mekong Delta.

Fly from Chiang Mai to Hanoi or Saigon

While most flights from Thailand to Vietnam depart one of Bangkok’s two airports, this is not the case for 100% of them. For example, you can fly nonstop from Chiang Mai to both Hanoi and Saigon. While these flights are often more expensive than connecting through Bangkok, they’re also more convenient.

Fly from Phuket to Saigon

Likewise, you can fly directly from Phuket to Saigon, a service that exists mostly to serve the large number of Vietnamese tourists who love Thailand’s largest island. This is an ideal flight to take if you plan to start your trip to Vietnam in the south, or only to explore that part of the country.

What to Do in Vietnam (and How Long to Stay)

Vietnam is a travel treasure trove, from north to south. With just a couple of weeks in the country, you can explore these destinations (in no particular order):

• Saigon and the Mekong Delta: After getting lost amid the skyscrapers of Vietnam’s largest city, go back in time amid the villages of the Mekong Delta.
• Da Nang (plus Hoi An and Hue): Central Vietnam is the country’s most underrated tourist region. Follow up a few days in Da Nang with excursions to the Hoi An old town or to the imperial city of Hue.
• Hanoi and Ha Long Bay: Vietnam’s political capital is also a capital of tourism, thanks to its proximity to the Ha Long Bay UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Other FAQ About Thailand to Vietnam Travel

How long does it take to get from thailand to vietnam.

You can fly from Thailand to Vietnam in less than two hours, no matter where in either country your journey begins or ends. If you choose to try and travel overland, your journey will take several days. Obviously, flying is the best way to make this trip.

Is there a train from Thailand to Vietnam?

You can’t travel by train from Thailand all the way to Vietnam. The most you can do is riding the train from Bangkok to Laos or Cambodia, and then traveling by bus or private car from there. It’s unclear if direct train connections between Thailand and Vietnam will ever be built, though hope for a Thailand to Vietnam train springs eternal.

Is it cheaper to visit Thailand or Vietnam?

Vietnam is significantly cheaper than Thailand. Of course, this isn’t without its caveats—namely that Vietnam feels much poorer than Thailand does, with worse infrastructure and a lot more frustrating of a travel experience. As a result, I’d say the travel experiences are pretty congruent: You get what you pay for.

The Bottom Line

It’s easy to get from Thailand to Vietnam , given that an airplane is the only reliable, practical way to travel between the two countries. Originating in Bangkok opens up the most direct destinations in Vietnam—you can fly nonstop to Hanoi, Saigon, Da Nang and Da Lat, as of early 2023. Of course, you may also be able to fly direct to Vietnam from Chiang Mai and Phuket. Need help putting your trip together?

Vietnam and Thailand Itinerary Suggestions: 10 Days, 2, and 3 Weeks

Here we offer two itinerary ideas, one for a classic 2-week itinerary and the other for a more in-depth 3 weeks.

1. 10-Day Itinerary for Essence of Thailand and Vietnam

This well-rounded itinerary captures the essence of both Thailand and Vietnam, offering a mix of cultural experiences, historical landmarks, and leisurely beach time.

You'll spend 5 days in Thailand and another 5 days in Vietnam.

• Days 1–3: Hanoi and an overnight cruise in the Halong Bay, Vietnam
• Days 4–5: Ho Chi Minh City with the Cu Chi Tunnels
• Days 6–7: Bangkok city tour with iconic temples
• Days 8–10: Phuket (free beach time)

Embark on a 5-day exploration of Vietnam, starting in Hanoi with visits to the Old Quarter and Halong Bay's enchanting overnight cruise. Transition to Ho Chi Minh City for historical insights at the War Remnants Museum and Cu Chi Tunnels.

Contact us to tailor-make a tour for you according to your length and interests. 

2. Classic 2-week Itinerary for Thailand and Vietnam

On a 2-week itinerary, it is suitable to arrange the top three cities (Hanoi, Hoi An, and Ho Chi Minh) with their surrounding areas in Vietnam, and one city (Bangkok or Chiang Mai) plus one island in Thailand.

Hanoi, with its ancient charm, is complemented by the captivating Halong Bay nearby. In central Hoi An, lantern-lit streets beckon, while bustling Ho Chi Minh City in the south contrasts with the serene beauty of the Mekong Delta. 

The remaining time in Thailand is enough for Bangkok and one island: Phuket or Koh Samui. If you are looking for a variety of activities and cost-effectiveness, then go to Phuket. If you prefer a quiet and luxurious environment, then Koh Samui would be better for you.

Here is the itinerary, starting in Vietnam's Hanoi and ending in Thailand's Phuket:

• Days 1–2: Hanoi sightseeing at iconic landmarks, plus a rickshaw ride to see local life and explore the city
• Days 3–4: A Halong Bay cruise with interesting activities on board and water activities on the bay
• Days 5–6: Hoi An exploration with a basket-boat ride experience, an evening food tour, a Vietnamese fishing experience, and a night boat trip surrounded by colorful lanterns

3. 3 Weeks in Thailand and Vietnam

Based on the 2-week itinerary above, a 3-week itinerary would allow time to see the sights in some off-the-beaten-path cities in Vietnam like Sapa and Hue .

Sapa is a town in the mountains of northern Vietnam. If you are interested in Vietnam's countryside life and enjoy trekking, you will enjoy it. Walk among the locals' fields and rice paddies, meet the local ethnic people, and visit their villages.

You could also visit Hue, a historic city in central Vietnam. Learn the story of Vietnam's last imperial dynasty through visiting its remaining palaces and ruins.

In Thailand, in addition to Bangkok and Phuket on the two-week itinerary above, you could also visit Chiang Mai in the north if you traveled for an extra few days.

Chiang Mai is a great place to visit at a slow pace and experience a variety of activities. You could visit a humane elephant camp, take cooking classes, and, if you're visiting in November, celebrate the romantic Yi Peng Sky Lantern Festival.

Week 1: Northern Vietnam

• Day 1-2: Hanoi, Vietnam
• Day 3-5: Sapa
• Day 6-8: Ha Long Bay

Week 2: Central Vietnam

Week 3: Ho Chi Minh City, Bangkok, and Phuket

• Day 16-17: Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam
• Day 18: Bangkok, Thailand
• Day 19-20: Phuket, Thailand

This itinerary is a suggestion and can be adjusted based on personal preferences, travel dates, and interests .

There is not much difference on the per-day travel cost between Thailand and Vietnam. They are both affordable.

A private tour is even more recommendable in Southeast Asia, where it is "an affordable luxury". You are guaranteed hassle-free, quality service, and a first-rate experience.

About 200 to 250 USD per person is the daily cost for a private Thailand and Vietnam tour, including airfares within/between Thailand and Vietnam, 4- or 5-star hotels, authentic lunches, attractions, guiding, and transfers. Kids under 10 would get 30–50% off.

Thailand and Vietnam are both year-round destinations. Each season has its own advantages.

If you want the best weather, then November to April (the dry season) is the best time for most of Thailand and Vietnam. 

Christmas and New Year holidays are the busiest periods of the peak season. Crowds and the highest prices are expected.

If your travel time is flexible, a smart choice could be the time just before/after the peak season (the periods of early May and late October), with smaller crowds, still reasonably rain-free weather, and lower prices.

Dominated by showers, rather than continuous rain, the rainy season (generally from May to October) is not a decisive problem for your tour, if you are prepared to put up with delays/cancellations and on-the-tour adjustments. It is best for a cost-effective trip and quiet attractions.

If you are planning a summer holiday trip, June is a better time to go, due to relatively low rainfall and smaller crowds compared with July and August. See more on our Travel to Southeast Asia in Summer: Places to Go, Costs, Weather .

Considering international flights' convenience, starting your journey in Thailand or Vietnam would not make a big difference, as you can easily find international flights to both their capitals.

For a better travel experience, we suggest starting from Vietnam and ending in Thailand , as this winds down from cultural and adventure experiences in Vietnam to the tropical-island vibe and relaxation found in Thailand.

Flying is the best and fastest way to travel between Thailand and Vietnam. A direct journey takes about 2 hours. Bangkok, Hanoi, and Ho Chi Minh are the most-used flight hubs.

Many airlines have flights between Thailand and Vietnam. If you would like a boutique and luxury flight service, Bangkok Airways is the best choice. For good value and service, Thai Airways, Thai Smile, and Vietnam Airlines are the top choices. For budget airline options, you could check out AirAsia, Vietjet Air, and Thai Lion Air flights.

Our private tour service would manage all the transportation in Thailand and Vietnam and also the flights between Thailand and Vietnam, all according to your cost and service requirements.

Vietnam requires a tourist visa if you're from the US, Canada, Australia, etc. The most convenient way is to apply for an e-visa online . This is a very simple process that just requires you to fill in some information. If you are from certain European countries, like the UK, France, Italy, and Germany, you can enjoy visa-free entry.

Thailand allows visa-free entry from 64 countries, including the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia, Austria, France, Germany, Norway, etc.

If you have any questions or difficulties in applying, you can contact our experienced travel consultants for help.

You will be crossing borders, so find out in advance what the current information is about Cambodia visas.

Another popular overland transport option is the bus trip from Bangkok to Hanoi in northern Vietnam, via Vientiane in Laos.

Between Bangkok – Vientiane – Hanoi there are buses of various companies, most of these buses are sleeper. The first step will be to travel by bus from Bangkok to Vientiane . There are buses from companies such as Air Udon (Sombat), Naga Travel, Tara Tour and Travel or Transport Co and the journey time is approximately 15-19 hours.

Bus tickets from Bangkok cost around $20-37/pp and you can again search and book them online even in advance. Buses depart mainly from Mochit or Khao San stations in Bangkok.

Buses go through the Thanaleng border crossing .

BOOK BUS TICKETS to Vientiane ➜

The second step is to travel by sleeper bus from Vientiane to Hanoi . But before that, you can still get to know this capital of Laos and, for example, go on a very long journey the next day. This is also the overland route used by some travelers heading from Laos to Vietnam , its capital.

Expect a long travel time, a bus trip from Vientiane to Hanoi takes up to 24-26 hours and bus tickets cost $30-48/pp on average.

3. FLIGHTS from Bangkok to Vietnam

There are also a number of direct flights from Bangkok to Vietnam. These direct flights can sometimes be very good value for money and will give you the fastest transfer between Thailand and Vietnam. The most used direct air connections are from Bangkok to Ho Chi Minh City and from Bangkok to Hanoi. Below are the most popular air routes used by tourists to travel between these countries.

A) DIRECT FLIGHT from Bangkok to Ho Chi Minh City

A direct flight from Bangkok to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam is a popular flight route. It is of course the fastest and most convenient transfer option from Bangkok to southern Vietnam and is offered by Vietnam Airlines, Pacific Airlines, Thai AirAsia, Thai Lion Air, VietJet Air, Thai Smile, Hanh Air Systems or Vietravel Airlines.

The direct flight time from Bangkok to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam is approximately 1.5 hour and ticket prices range from $50-180/pp, most flights are Economy class. Most of the cheapest flights will be offered by Thai AirAsia. If you consider how much bus transfers cost, then in theory a direct flight connection can be worthwhile if you want to avoid going through Cambodia.

Flights are operated from Suvarnabhumi Airport and Don Mueang Airport in Bangkok, which are relatively easy to access from city center, and planes arrive at Tan Son Nhat Airport in Ho Chi Minh City.

B) DIRECT FLIGHT from Bangkok to Hanoi

Another option to quickly get to Hanoi in northern Vietnam is again a direct flight from Bangkok . If you want to travel directly to the north of Vietnam, this is the best, most convenient and fastest transfer option between these cities. If you compare the price with a bus transfer, even a direct flight to Hanoi is sometimes more advantageous than a tiring journey by sleeper buses.

The direct flight time from Bangkok to Hanoi is about 2 hours, and ticket prices range from $70-150/pp. Again, you can use these flights from Suvarnabhumi Airport and Don Mueang Airport, and the planes arrive at Noi Bai Airport, which is about 25 km north of Hanoi. You can again use the same airlines to Hanoi as to Saigon, Vietnam Airlines, Pacific Airlines, Thai AirAsia, VietJet Air, Thai Smile, Hanh Air Systems or Vietravel Airlines.

The flight schedule of direct air connections is limited and these flights are offered by the airline Thai AirAsia , the flight time is up to 2 hours and the ticket prices are in the range of $60-120/pp. Flights are operated from Don Mueang Airport to Cam Ranh Airport.

The Thai 3rd class seat train from Bangkok to Aranyaprathet departs from Hua Lamphong Station and arrives at Aranyaprathet Station. Tickets for this Thai train are best purchased at the train station in Bangkok. Aranyaprathet train station is a short distance from the border with Cambodia, from the Poi Pet border crossing and from Poi Pet you will then continue on another Cambodian Royal Railway train to Phnom Penh.

Poi Pet Train Station is just 1 km from the border crossing. Royal Raiwlay train travel time from Poi Pet to the capital Phnom Penh is approx. 11-12 hours and tickets cost approx. $6-10/pp. Trains in Cambodia are seat only and tend to be a bit slower. The third step is to travel by bus or minibus from Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh City.

It’s a busy route and there are plenty of buses between these cities. Traveling by bus from Phnom Penh to Saigon takes approximately 5.5-7 hours and bus tickets cost approximately $23-40/pp. In the future, there are some plans to connect Phnom Penh and Ho Chi Minh City by rail, which could possibly make travel easier.

Before traveling by train and bus , check again the current visa conditions for Cambodia and Vietnam. Most routes from Bangkok to Saigon can be searched and booked online in advance.

Top 5 airlines serving from Suvarnabhumi to Hanoi

Overall things were very good and orderly. The food was very good but I want able to get a second drink very easily, so that could have been better for services. The seats seemed to be lacking legroom but I'm also 6'1" so I'm used to wanting more legroom but the plane seemed smaller then others when it came to legroom. My kids all enjoyed the entertainment as did I so that was perfect!

The flight attendants ignored us several times which was annoying. The sandwich thing wasn't very good but it's only an hour flight, it would have been better to have entertainment over bad food.

It was good overall. At 6 foot 1 it's hard to say anything seat on a flight is comfortable but it would be nice to have more legroom. The meals were good but would have liked to get wine much sooner.

Extra seat belt across the chest 10 minutes before taking off and 15 minutes before landing seemed excessively safe.

The transfer from Domestic and International was a bit confusing but I am easily confused. I did not eat any food, but the food on the other leg was decent. It was nice they turned the lights off on the night flight. The plane was in good shape, but was a little cramped in economy and I am small. They gave me a customs form to fill out and nobody looked at it as I went through customs. Not a bad flight.

My case was missing a wheel on arrival Heathrow and the staff were unhelpful when i tried to get some compensation stating it was not sufficient damage, i only wish that they at some point have to deal with the same situation it put me in, maybe they would change their attitude but overall it was a good flight

We are satisfied with the cabin crew serviceand the quality of meals served.

The aircraft was really old, the staff demotivated and the overall United airline service is horrible

Lunch Food was tasteful and had variety. Seat was comfortable. However, when I was reserving my seats during booking, the seat configuration showed was 3-3-3, but when I boarded it was a 2-4-2 configuration? Also during booking, I had also bought travel insurance together with my TG booking. However there was no confirmation of my purchase from Allianz and TG. After several emails with TG contact, sales, reservation and Allianz was i able to confirm my insurance purchase. When the policy was issued, the birth dates of me and my wife were wrongly stated and I had to go through another round of emails with Allianz to get it corrected. Otherwise any claims would be void! It was indeed not a very good booking experience!

Increase the number of available films, including variety. All other aspects were great.

Was on holiday with my partner and we booked with Vietnam airlines as it not meant to be a budget airline. They separated us and made us sit at either end of the plane. Not the way I planned to spend my time on my holiday separate from my loved one. How can they separate people on the same booking. They know we are together and spending quality time together.

I had sometimes my trips with Vietnam Airlines and I like it 😊

The check-in process was great, and I cannot remember the name of the supervisor, but he was good and told us about the transit process very correctly and efficiently and kindly. We were given down access and the overall process was very efficient.

The plane had a technical problem it would delayed 10 hours but they just gave limited information and put all passengers into the Miracle lounge. Ther were not enough chairs and so on.

Ensure there is a choice of food for all customers and also enough food

An excellent airline; polite and courteous cabin crew, excellent meal and drink service. Highly recommended.

We boarded the plane at 1:20 pm It was hot. There was no air-conditioning It was stifling They kept us on the plane sitting there for 1 hour and 10 minutes

No space in between the seats as per them the average height of human is 5’3” and weight as 55, so seats are designed as per the same. Also, the aircraft was dirty and full of insects

when we arrived at Taipei no one help us to get boarding pass. we saw a few people there asked them for help but they just ignored us. There was a guy told us to call Starlux number to get help but we don’t know how to dial the number until there was a lady working there helped us to call Starlux customer then someone came down took us to another counter for boarding pass. Very confused and inconvenient. We might not choose Starlux again in the future.

There was no entertainment and food option limited But the service was first class on an economy flight

It was on time! First time in a long time for Air Asia. Thank you!

Nightmare at check in because of restrictibe and unmanageable baggage rules. Very long line and slow because of these policies. Not a smart way to make $

Very few crew meant that we had to wait almost 2 hours just the get a drink!

I get so tired of the constant delays, but there are so few options. The plane is coming from Bangkok each time. Why are the flights so regularly delayed. I do appreciate the speed of the baggage delivery into the terminal.

We had a 3 hrs delay and they offer McDonalds pineapple pay. They charged us for extra grs of luggage and the experience was not good

Thai Air Asia no longer has customer support that you can call and talk to. All support is done by chat bot or self help websites. This can be a major issue if you have a problem and it bit us so we can’t recommend nor will we book with them again unless as a last resort.

No way to talk to support. Is all online self help or chat bot. Now way to speak to a person and the automated options are useless.

Airline cancelled our flight purchased through kiwi.com 2 months before travel and to date has inly refunded half of our paid ticket price.

Crew was nice, boarding efficient. VERY cramped seating. I'm a 5 ' 10'' slim woman and my knees were up against the seat in front of me and my arms were against the arm rests. There are no services, not even water, and they only take local currency and I didn't yet have Thai baht ( flying from Indonesia and no rupiah left). I won't choose to fly with this line again.

Good, no mini-tv's, no food unless you pay, good overall experience.

So far I have liked bamboo airways more than Viet jet and Vietnam airlines. I like all the but bamboo is best to me.

Plenty of crew that all worked hard to deliver an exceptional service. Plentiful supply of food and beverages.

All worked efficiently but the food offered was pretty horrible

Professional, courteous, punctual service. In particular, staff was quite observant and assisted my mother with wheel-chair even though we forgot to even mention about the same.

Very good airline, everything easy, check in etc, good service and leaves on time.

체크인을 담당하는 승무원이 아주, 몹시 불친절하고 전문성이 현저하게 떨어졌습니다. The flight attendant in charge of the check-in was very, very unfriendly and markedly less professional.

VietJet was 2 hours late, but Kayak is not able to track my travel correct.

Flights on time is good. Crew should take care of passengers more.

Not punctual in departure and seats are very tight and narrow. Crew should handle noisy families during flight.

Seats too small and tight. Flight attendants don't know how to deal with family with noisy kids on board.

Paid for seats near the window but given seats right at the back, near the toilets. This location was so noisy with the blasts from the aircraft engines blowing beside. Not a nice one 😞.

Flight was delayed 2 hours, which seems regular with this airline. Aircrew were avarage, friendly but robotic. At check in I asked for a spare seat. Got some stupid response about loading capacity (it was 85% full!) Then passengers behind jumped up and moved to vacant exit rows, they obviously didn't pay for. Waited over 20+ minutes to disembark, with ground staff trying to squash all passengers onto 1 bus. Causing even more delays. Unsafe and stupid! But this is a problem at Saigon airport. Overall a very average experience!

In experience we didn't even get water unless it was paid for. Even Bamboo Airlines provided free water. The flight was cold with no blanket being provided. The flight attendants were not responsive in keeping the passengers under control. I complained about fellow passengers playing loud music several times before one of the flight attendants to action. I will not recommend flying with Vietjet unless things improve.

I have few bad reviews about VietJet, but my experience was really good and it worth every penny..

Not even free water. NO legroom. Narrow seats. Not enough room to even hold a book at reading distance in front of you.

Thailand to Vietnam Bus: A Comprehensive Guide to Schedules and Prices

Bus routes to Thailand – Vietnam – Cross-country travel has never been easier. This is a highly notable topic recently, especially for those interested in traveling between these two Southeast Asian countries. Traveling from Thailand to Vietnam by bus is a popular option for many travelers. It is a cost-effective way to travel between the two countries, and it allows you to see the beautiful scenery along the way

Therefore, let us now thoroughly explore the information about this special bus journey! So, let’s dive into the details of this unique bus trip today!

Overview of Thailand to Vietnam by Bus

As a budget means of transport, a bus will be priced at around US $50 for a direct route from Thailand to Vietnam. Transit to one destination in Cambodia or Laos is even cheaper up to your choice. Thailand – Cambodia – Ho Chi Minh City route costs only US $32 to US $35, while it goes from US $24 to US $26 for Thailand – Laos – Hanoi route.

There are two main routes that you can take to travel from Thailand to Vietnam by bus: Thailand – Cambodia – Vietnam or Thailand – Laos – Vietnam. Here is a brief overview of each route:

Thailand – Laos – Vietnam

If you choose to travel the Thai-Lao-Viet route, you’ll start from Bangkok by bus, then reach Vientiane, and finally arrive in Hanoi. Specifically, the bus route begins from Thailand (Nakhon Phanom city) to Laos (Thakhek) and proceeds to Vietnam with a route length of approximately 300 km. Travelers can explore three countries without taking more than 01 day to complete . 

This route is less frequently traveled and offers a more adventurous experience as it passes through the mountainous and rural regions of Laos and northern Vietnam. Along the way, you can explore beautiful natural and cultural sites like Vientiane, Luang Prabang, Dien Bien Phu, and Sapa. The average cost per person for this route ranges from US $70 to US $80.

Thailand – Cambodia – Vietnam

The most common and convenient way to travel by bus from Thailand to Vietnam is to go through Cambodia, which shares borders with both countries. You can also go through Laos, but this will take longer and cost more. Here are the main steps to follow if you choose to travel by bus from Thailand to Vietnam via Cambodia: 

• Step 1 : Take a bus from Bangkok to Siem Reap.

To start your journey, travel from Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, to Siem Reap, the entrance to the renowned Angkor Wat temples in Cambodia. Several bus companies, including Giant Ibis1, Nattakan, and Transport Co International, provide this service. The trip generally takes 8 to 10 hours depending on traffic and border crossing. Prices range from $28 to $32 per person. You can purchase tickets online or at Bangkok’s bus stations.

• Step 2: Explore Siem Reap and Angkor Wat.

Relaxing in a popular tourist destination in Cambodia. It is home to Angkor Wat, the world’s largest and most impressive religious monument. You can spend a day or more discovering the ancient temples, appreciating the architecture and carvings, and learning about the history and culture of the Khmer Empire. 

• Step 3: Take a bus from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh.

The next step is to travel from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh, Cambodia’s capital. Several bus companies, such as Giant Ibis1, Mekong Express, and Virak Buntham Express, operate on this route. The journey usually takes 6 to 7 hours, and prices range from $10 to $15 per person. Some buses provide wifi, air conditioning, and toilets, while others are more basic. 

• Step 4: Explore Phnom Penh and obtain your Vietnam visa.

If you plan to continue your journey to Vietnam by bus, it’s important to obtain your visa in advance, as there is no visa on arrival option at the land border. You can apply for your Vietnam visa online and receive an approval letter that you need to present at the embassy in Phnom Penh, along with your passport, photos, and payment. The process typically takes 2 to 3 working days, with fees varying according to the visa type and duration. Alternatively, you can apply for your Vietnam visa directly at the embassy in Phnom Penh, though this may take longer and cost more.

• Step 5 : Take a bus from Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh City.

The final step is to travel from Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam’s largest and most dynamic city. The journey, including the border crossing, takes around 6 to 7 hours, and prices range from $12 to $18 per person. 

How to Book and Prepare for Your Bus Trip

• If you want to save time and money, and visit the major cities and tourist attractions of Cambodia and Vietnam, the Thailand – Cambodia – Vietnam route is the best option for you.
• Make sure to reserve your bus ticket in advance either online or at the bus station, especially if it’s a busy season or during holidays
• Prior to booking, it’s essential to review the bus schedule, route, price, and user feedback for a well-informed decision.
• Prior to crossing borders, ensure you have all the necessary documents ready, including your passport, visa, and other required paperwork. Your passport should be valid for at least six months, have two blank pages, and you must possess the appropriate visas or visa exemptions for every country you plan to visit. 
• Applying for visas in advance can be done online or at the respective embassies or consulates. Additionally, some countries offer visas on arrival at the border. For a hassle-free visa application process, you can take advantage of online platforms such as iVisa or eVisa. It’s crucial to have additional documents like your bus ticket, hotel reservation, and travel insurance for immigration and customs checks.
• Pack your belongings and essentials thoughtfully for your bus journey. Ensure your luggage, be it a backpack or a suitcase, adheres to size and weight restrictions as buses often have limited space and weight allowances. 
• Remember to pack essential items such as water, snacks, cash, phone, charger, earphones, mask, sanitizer, toilet paper, and a pillow or blanket to make your long and potentially bumpy ride more comfortable. 
• Consider bringing entertainment options like a book, game, or movie to keep yourself occupied during the trip.

Traveling from Thailand to Vietnam by bus offers an affordable and thrilling opportunity to explore two captivating countries in Southeast Asia. Nonetheless, this journey is neither direct nor easy, demanding careful planning and preparation. The itinerary involves multiple bus transfers, two border crossings, and obtaining a Vietnam visa in advance. 

Additionally, one must possess patience, adaptability, and an open-minded attitude to navigate the challenges and unexpected encounters along the way. However, if you seek a remarkable and enriching adventure, traveling by bus from Thailand to Vietnam presents an excellent choice. You will be treated to awe-inspiring attractions, encounter amiable individuals, and gain profound insights into the region’s culture and history.

If you are planning a tour to Vietnam from Bangkok, here is some useful information you need to know before traveling.

Vietnam is a stunning and culturally rich destination that is increasingly popular with travelers from all over the world. If you're planning a trip to Vietnam from Thailand, a tour package can be a convenient and hassle-free way to experience all that this amazing country has to offer.

Tour operators, travel agencies, and airlines offer a range of Vietnam tour packages from Thailand, making it easy to book your entire trip in one place. These packages can include flights, hotels, transportation, and guided tours, allowing you to sit back and relax while your itinerary is taken care of.

When considering a Vietnam tour package from Thailand, it's important to do your research and choose a reputable and reliable tour operator. Travel agencies can also be a helpful resource for booking flights and accommodations, and there are several airlines that offer flights between Thailand and Vietnam.

When it comes to accommodations, Vietnam has a wide variety of hotels and resorts to choose from, ranging from budget-friendly options to luxury properties. A tour guide can be a valuable asset during your trip, providing insight into the local culture and taking you to must-see sites and activities. And when it comes to transportation, you'll have a range of options, including buses, cars, and more, depending on your needs and budget.

Overall, booking a Vietnam tour package from Thailand can be a convenient and enjoyable way to experience this beautiful and fascinating country. So why not consider Vietnam for your next vacation and start researching your tour package options today?

There are many tour operators that offer Vietnam tour packages from Thailand, which means that you have a lot of options to choose from. One option is to book a tour through a tour operator based in Bangkok. This can have the advantage of being more convenient, as you can easily visit their office or communicate with them in person. However, keep in mind that a Bangkok-based tour operator may not have as much local knowledge or connections in Vietnam as a tour operator based in the country itself.

Another option is to book a tour through a tour operator based in Vietnam, such as Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City. This can have the advantage of providing you with more authentic and local experiences, as the tour operator will have a better understanding of the culture and attractions of Vietnam. However, booking with a Vietnam-based tour operator may involve more logistics, such as coordinating transportation and communication from a distance.
