Phuong Trang bus Saigon to Dalat, Vietnam

Our next destination after spending a day in Ho Chi Minh.

Shuttle took us from hotel to the bus waiting station at 4 in the morning. A bus trip, cost us USD11 each, from Saigon to Dalat by Phuong Trang. Book it when you are here in Vietnam instead on website (because its in vietnamese and no reply to email!) Highly recommended!


I found so less info about bus on my mentioned trip and we didnt know which bus company to choose and we dont want ended up like what we experienced in Cambodia (shall blog about that someday). A few bus companies got not-so-good reviews online, like mad drivers, dangerous overtaking and poor bus conditions.


But this Company, Phuong Trang is a big relieved for me. They are clean and organised & air conditioned! Well dressed professional and strict driver! And they do stop at every rest stops on the way, which is owned by them too. Every rest stops have toilets of course, convinience stores or small cafe to have a quick bite! And not to mention, they have FREE WIFI!! Im the happiest among my backpack-kakis (travel mates) because I want to update my family, hubby and instagram!!


This is how a sleeper bus looks like. We are all arranged on top row seatings. A small drinking water, wet towel and blanket is given (include in fare!) The seat is adjustable. And we have to take off our shoes and pack it in a plastic bag provided because the some locals tend to sleep along the corridors!


For your info, the bus will arrived at their own bus station at Dalat, and they will have free shuttle to sent the passengers to respective hotels or places in Dalat!


Double storey seatings!



3 rows seating!


The whole journey from Ho Chi Minh to Dalat, 
is about 6 to 7 hours of journey! Along the highland highway, small villages can be spotted and rainforests! Will blog more about our 2 days in Dalat (Both city and Famous Crazy House!)
