The best thing in Vietnam !!!

Do you have a Cambodian trip report you want to share? Post it here, and feel free to link to your blog if it's a travel blog for Cambodia, South East Asia, or anywhere really. You can ask and answer questions about travel advice in Cambodia or just share your pictures and videos with us. Most people who live in or visit Cambodia have also checked out nearby countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, and you can get to most of these countries by traveling overland, so put any travel plans, reviews or questions here. Discussions about dirt bike trails in here as well.

It was the worst 8 1/2 hours of my recent life.

Left home on time to catch the bus from PNL... arrived with time to spare.
The bus leaves on time and then proceeds to stop at 2 hotels along the way. No big dramas at the first one. The second hotel we sit waiting blocking traffic for about 10 - 15 minutes while the middle aged European tourists (about 10 all told) get themselves sorted and a few having their last gasp at a fag before they boarded... I did notice though it was 9am they had in hand a few beers. There was 1 loud mouth woman about 40 with bleached blonde hair, her dumb arsed wimp of a partner who seemed to be the ringleaders..... FIRST DELAY

Off we go, just in time to get the best of HCMC's traffic jam thanks to having to wait for the Eurotrash.

The bus attendant guy collects all the passports, 1 passenger has no money and wants to pay for his Cambodian visa and the $5 service fee by CREDIT CARD. The bus guy says OK, we will stop at an ATM and you can get cash.
On we go heading to Crapbodia.

Then the Eurotrash start drinking, .... before we get to Cu Chi the blonde bitch needs to have a piss. Giant Ibis buses do not have toilets.... She starts making a fucking scene so the bus stops at a servo and we all wait while she goes and has a piss. In the meantime all her mates get off and start having a cigarette or 3.

SECOND DELAY.

We get to the border at 11.15am just in time to catch up with the eight other buses that left after us. We are now 1 hour behind schedule.
There are 4 booths at the Viet Immigration border to process the exit of people. As we arrive 2 booths close as the wankers decide to go and have lunch. I reckon there was 400 people waiting (8 buses x 50 passengers plus the walk ins)
We finally get through, get on the bus and sit, sit, sit... we find out that the guy with no money had tampered with his Vietnamese visa and changed it from a 30 day visa (legal) to a 40 day visa (no such a thing) Immigration held him back and wanted a payment for overstaying his visa... he had no money!... One of the passengers stumped up some cash and off we go and have lunch.

DELAY NUMBER THREE!

We have lunch, get back on the bus and the Eurotrash have stocked up on beer and other refreshments..... Off we go again, now nearly 2 hours behind schedule.

The bus stops again at some fucked up town that has a ATM machine. The financially challenged passenger gets off with the bus attendant. The whole bus watches as he he tries his credit cards in the various ATM machines... no luck (No fucking money more like it)
While this is going on the Eurotrash troupe are off finding piss houses and sucking on fags.

DELAY No. 4

Off we go again.

We get about 30 kilometers from PP city and the roadworks that have been in progress for the past 3 years slow us down to a crawl.
In the meantime all the Eurotrash's bladders have been filling up to bursting point. We are bumper to bumper on a pot holed dusty road... Then its starts, the blonde Eurobitch needs a piss, must have a piss and is making a big show of it. The bus weaves to the side of the road in a heavily populated area causing immense havoc to other frustrated drivers (and bus passengers)... The bitch gets out, can't find a toilet, squats next to the bus and has a classy piss. At the same time on queue her mates all get out and start pissing while lighting up some cigarettes.
At this stage a few of the other passengers are pissed off and wanted to kick the Eurotrash team off the bus.. me included. The staff said the finish line is in sight and they would not stop again......

DELAY No.5

We crawled into Phnom Penh in time to enjoy the delights of PP's finest pilots of Lexus, Land Drovers and other machines that they don't know how to drive but no problem........ all paid for with AID money donated by other countries.

Arrived 2 1/2 hours late, missed getting my passport submitted for my visa.... thanks Eurotrash!

Guess what? Last bus trip for me... I flew back.

8 1/2 hours??? you are lucky! when i came back from HCMC>PP in January it took our bus 10 hours!!

we hit the roadworks, our bus driver tries taking a short cut for 30minutes to find the road he decided to take hasnt been finished and so we had to do a U'y and go back, by the time we hit PP we hit all the school and rush hour traffic took about 2-3 hours just to get into PP centre

i wish our journey was only 8.5 hours lol we didnt have annoying eurotrash though

The road into PP is a real mess... Someone is making some good money out of not completing it in a hurry... Have to feel sorry for the folks trying to make a living along that stretch.

Sure, nobody ever paid for a car with money they earned themselves. Enough of the tired cliches already. :please:

Not quite sure who needs to get a life here. I guess you are an ex-smoker seeing how you go on about people smoking. Count yourself lucky, a few years ago they would have smoked inside the bus......
