When we think of Asia we think of chaotic traffic and almost non-existent road rules. So what do you do if you want to travel through a country where flights and rail travel are relatively expensive? This is our story of travelling by bus through Vietnam and how we found it to be the cheapest, most comfortable, flexible and efficient way to travel the country.
Flexibility of an open bus ticket
Unlike a normal bus fare where you buy a ticket from one city to the next at a pre-determined date and time, in Vietnam you can buy a multi-city ticket that is completely flexible. Basically you’ll choose where you want to go, pay (price depends on how many stops you make) and then book your first leg of the journey. Once you reach your first destination you can book the second leg at no extra cross for whenever you want – 1 day or 2 weeks later, the choice is yours!

Comfort
For those used to travelling by plane, seats on a Vietnamese sleeper bus are pretty much like first class! Each seat comes with a pillow, blanket, bottle of water and fresh towel and the seat itself reclines almost 180 degrees. Most buses have been converted to ‘double decker’ sleeping buses that have air-con and even free wifi.
Still, the seats were super comfortable and, although many of our trips were overnight, we were able to sleep well. It also means you save on one night’s accommodation which is an added economic bonus to traveling by sleeper bus.
