The drivers run this crossing daily and know it inside out, and every vehicle is inspected and serviced on a regular schedule.
Leaving Ho Chi Minh City
Departures are 6:45am and 2:00pm from our office at 181 Nguyễn Cư Trinh, District 1 — right in the middle of the city.
The morning run reaches Phnom Penh around 12:30pm; the afternoon one arrives about 8:30pm.
From District 1 the route heads northwest to the Moc Bai–Bavet crossing, then on to central Phnom Penh.
Crossing at Moc Bai–Bavet
Leaving Vietnam, you clear Vietnamese exit first, then Cambodian entry on the other side — the reverse of the outbound trip.
It's on foot, and our guide is right there with you: talking you through each step, helping with the forms, and making sure the whole group is across before we carry on. Usually 20 to 30 minutes.
