Vietnam forum

I am planning my trip to Vietnam, not been there yet, and I came accross this information in another forum:

"The Saigon Passenger Transport Company (Sapaco Tourist) has opened a bus route between Ho Chi Minh City and Siem Reap Province in neighboring Cambodia. The route will cross the border at Xa Mat in Vietnam’s southern Tay Ninh Province and Trapeang Phlong in Cambodia’s Kompong Cham Province. At 500 kilometers in length, the route will reduce travel time by more than two hours, compared with the current route through border towns Moc Bai and Bavet. The bus will depart at 7 a.m. at 309 Pham Ngu Lao Street in the city’s District 1 and arrive at the Sapaco office at #0667 National-No 6 Reap in Cambodia, with a one-way bus fare costing US$24 per passenger.

The Sapaco bus leaves Saigon on every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday only. The bus fare is 24 USD for one ticket. According to the Sapaco staff, It takes about more or less 9 hours to arrive. For other days ( Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday ) you will go from Saigon to PP and the Sapaco will arrange for you to go from PP to Siem Riep. It costs only 22 USD. According to the Sapaco staff, It takes about more or less 11 hours to arrive.
From Siem Riep back to HCMC , Daily departure from Siem Riep on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday at 07:00 AM and arrival to HCMC around 5 PM"
