How to travel from Phnom Penh to Sài Gòn?
The distance from Phnom Penh to TP.HCM is about 230 km, passing through the Bavet – Mộc Bài border gate, with a 6–7 hour bus ride including 30–60 minutes for immigration procedures. Vietnamese passengers returning should also note the regulations on luggage and goods brought across the border.
Two travel options:
| Travel option | Duration | Best for | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sleeper bus / limousine / reclining seat | 6–7 hours | Most passengers | Pickup in central Phnom Penh, drop-off in the Phạm Ngũ Lão area – District 1 |
| Flight (Phnom Penh → Tân Sơn Nhất) | 1 hour flight | Passengers in a hurry | Fares are much higher; total actual time is about 3.5 hours |

Pickup and drop-off points
Pickup in Phnom Penh: 281 Preah Sihanouk Blvd, Phnom Penh · 343 Preah Sihanouk Blvd, Phnom Penh.
Drop-off in Hồ Chí Minh: 275C Phạm Ngũ Lão · 189 Đào Duy Từ, TP.HCM.
The exact pickup point depends on the trip and vehicle type you choose; for private vehicles, pickup is at your door based on the address you provide when booking.
Documents and procedures for the return trip
A passport valid for at least 6 months is still required. Foreign nationals returning to Vietnam must have a valid Vietnamese visa or be eligible for visa exemption — if you have used up the entry allowance of your single-entry visa, you must apply for a new e-visa before boarding the bus. This is the most common mistake passengers make on the return trip.
Luggage and goods to bring back
Customs at both ends may inspect luggage. Cigarettes, alcohol, and large quantities of goods have tax-free allowances; exceeding the allowance requires declaration. Do not carry items for strangers at the border gate — this happens frequently, and the person carrying the items bears full responsibility.
