Hi guys,

I am thinking of going to Ho Chi Min City from Bangkok. What will be the cheapest and quickest way there? Bus, train or plane?

can anyone advise??

thks!!!
 

Train and u can also take pic along the way

Flights are expensive.
 

Don't think there is a train from BKK to HCMC.

Bus will be cheap but scary.
 

I think you'll have to go via Phnom Penh - it's only an hour or so to HCMC from there.

Time and cost? Not sure.

Try lonelyplanet website. The Thorn Tree will have your answers I am sure.

Good luck with the trip
 

Bus is a BAD IDEA!!! I've done thailand, cambodia, vietnam and laos by bus.
Worst bus rides found in cambodia and vietnam. You'll share old buses crammed with mixture of locals and backpackers. Go by train or boat down the mekong, if i'm not wrong...
 

You can get to Siem Reap from BKK, then Siem Reap to Phom Penh.

From P.P, take a ferry via the mekong to Saigon (H.C.M)
 

hmmm...oki thanks guys for the info...will see how it goes...are there any nice places to go in HCMC also?? will be there for just 3days any places that I shld not miss???
