Just trying to get some heads-up from regulars in PP, may be planning to head to PP with some HCM-regulars soon, have not been to PP since my last working trip some 12 years back, so I am a reborned newbie

Who else is stationed there now, I know Pocketrocket & Motodiary is there tio bo???

Welcome to PHN Bro Snipeshot08

I would be here for long coz might get a posting to Aussieland soon. Anyway, IMHO, forget about Jet Star coz they dun fly here everyday and sometimes they even cancel the flt due to lack of passengers.

Silk Air is having sale now...Seems rather cheap flying into PHN. Check em out.

However, I do reckon taking the bus from HCMC to PHN is ok lah...The roads are "newer" now...Only a small portion is bumpy and only takes around 5-5.5hrs.

Forgotten the Bus Co Name (but they're everywhere in HCMC...The Green Coloured ones), but they do pretty good deal...USD13/one way (HCMC-PHN) and inclusive of either a meal or can of soft drink (for other who dun have a strong tummy ha!) @ the Viet-Cambodia check pt stopover. They even give each a bottle of mineral water onboard as well

The drivers or Co usually try to place foreigners in a more comfy sitting arrangement (as not to mix with the local with their tons of barang barang or smelly B.O.). So, this is also another good thing. Plus if you're lucky, you'll getta sit in the new Mercedes Bus...The Co had bought quite a number of them as well as business been good for the HCMC-PHN trio these days

So...Good luck my friend
