Practical tips
Especially during peak season or holidays, tickets can sell out. Booking online a few days ahead through 12go.asia or BaoLau.vn guarantees your seat and peace of mind, avoiding last-minute stress.
Even if it's not an overnight trip, bring snacks, water, and entertainment. Buses can sometimes be chilly, so a light jacket or scarf is a good idea to ensure your comfort.
Keep valuables in a small daypack with you on the bus. Larger luggage goes underneath, but it's always wise to ensure it's securely stored and clearly tagged before departure.
Confirm the exact bus terminal in Hai Phong with your booking. Vietnam has multiple bus stations in larger cities, and going to the wrong one can lead to missed connections and delays.
Ensure your phone is charged and consider having a local SIM card. This allows you to communicate with operators if there are unexpected changes or delays, and access maps.
