Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh Destination Reviews

DM
Terrible bus, there is not comfort for such long ride. If you are taller than 1,60m you don't fit and you will end up doing the entire journey with the legs bended. The entire ride was more than 8h not 6. I wouldn't recommend. No info was given in English so every time we had to guess what was happenin. The staff seemed didn't like foreigners.
