Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) — Shared Minibus
Most people picture a crowded coach when they think of crossing between Cambodia and Vietnam. This isn't that. Our shared service is a 9-seat Hyundai Solati — you buy a single seat, you choose where you sit, and you travel with a guide who takes the stress out of the border. It's the comfortable middle ground: far nicer than a bus, far cheaper than hiring the whole vehicle.
What you're booking
A seat, not a whole van. Prices are per person and depend only on where you sit:
Solo Seat — $29 · an individual seat, no one beside you the whole way
Back Row — $25 · three seats across the rear
Front Row — $23 · up front by the driver, shared with one other passenger
Nine seats total. Air conditioning, WiFi for most of the route, bottled water, and room for your luggage.
What is the shared minibus?
It's the comfortable way to travel between Phnom Penh and Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) without hiring a whole vehicle. You book a single seat on our 9-seat minibus, travel with just a handful of other passengers instead of a packed coach, and a guide handles the border with you. A fixed daily schedule, professional driver, and border assistance are all included.

The border, and why it matters
Bavet–Moc Bai is the one part of this trip that worries first-timers, and fairly so.
Our guide crosses it with you — pointing out each step before you reach it, helping with the forms, and making sure nobody gets left behind.
Most crossings take 20 to 30 minutes.

Frequently Asked Question
How much is a bus ticket from Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh?
A single seat is $23 to $29 depending on where you sit — $23 up front, $25 in the back row, $29 for a solo seat with nobody beside you. All on the same 9-seat minibus, far more comfortable than a large coach.
Is this a bus or a minibus?
A 9-seat minibus, not a big coach. You share with a handful of passengers at most, choose your seat, and travel with a guide — the comfort of a private vehicle at close to bus prices.
Do you help at the border?
Yes. A guide crosses the Bavet–Moc Bai border with you, explains each step, helps with the forms, and makes sure no one is left behind. Most crossings take 20–30 minutes, and you stay in the same minibus the whole way and also depends on the regulation.
