Frequently asked questions
Is 12Go Asia reliable for booking Vietnam transport?
Yes. It is the go-to platform for cross-country routes because it shows live seat availability, different operators, and easy e-ticketing. For short hops inside cities (Hanoi-Ho Chi Minh) flights are often cheaper, but trains and buses are more scenic.
How much does a Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City bus cost on 12Go?
About $15-25 for a regular sleeper bus; the Reunification Express train takes 17-18 hours and costs roughly $30-50 for a soft sleeper berth. Prices were checked October 2026. Booking includes a refundable option if you cancel ahead of time.
How do I get from Hanoi to Phu Quoc?
12Go shows several options: bus to Ha Tien and a ferry to Phu Quoc (about 4-5 hours total), or a night bus to Rach Gia followed by a ferry. Flights from Hanoi to Phu Quoc by Vietnam Airlines or VietJet also appear in the results, typically $80-150.
Does 12Go show train schedules in real time?
Yes, including the Reunification Express and other state trains between cities. You can select soft sleeper, soft berth, or hard berth depending on your budget, and 12Go also offers seat selection and refund policy details.
When should I book my 12Go transport ticket?
Book at least 2-3 days ahead in the October to April dry season, and a week or two earlier for the Lunar New Year (Tet) peak. Weekends see higher demand, especially from Hanoi to Da Nang, Nha Trang and Phu Quoc.
