Don't let the middlemen make a profit from the price difference. Teach you how to buy Vietnam train tickets step by step

Nowadays, Thailand's visa fees are high. Many friends who like Southeast Asia have moved to Vietnam. Especially in Yunnan and Guangxi, which border Vietnam, Departing by land can also save a lot of travel costs. Take Kunming to Hanoi as an example. The high-speed train from Kunming to Hekou costs 96 yuan. Then take a luxury bus from Lao Cai to Hanoi for 99 yuan. You can get to Hanoi for less than 200 yuan. Although it takes twice as long as flying, But for air tickets that cost thousands of dollars, Traveling abroad by land is still a very cost-effective option. And there is also a need to buy bus tickets in Vietnam. Here I will tell you a good way to buy bus tickets and train tickets by yourself. There are many bus companies operating in Vietnam. We are familiar with Xin Coffee, Fu Coffee, FUTA, etc. Each company has its own website where you can buy tickets. But they all handed it over to a company called Vexere for sales. He also has his own APP. All we need to do is download the Vexere APP. After downloading, you need to register with a Vietnamese phone number. At this time, you need to download another APP called Sms Activate. After registration, you need to recharge points for future use. Just charge at the lowest level. Then find "Any other" in the service list and click on it. Search for "Vietnam" and click to activate the number. You can get a local Vietnamese phone number. At this time, you can use this number to register Vexere. The verification code you received will be displayed in Activate. After registration is completed, you can purchase bus and train tickets directly in the APP. There are buses of various types at various times. There are also commercial vehicles available. I recommend their luxury buses. It's really comfortable. After drawing the curtain, everyone has their own private space. The lower berth of the luxury bus can accommodate two people. But in fact, the width is about the same as the upper berth. It is recommended that you choose the lower berth if you are traveling with children. After the ticket is issued, arrive at the station half an hour in advance on the day of departure. After exchanging your ticket for a paper ticket, you can get on the bus when it arrives. Each destination has many stops. You can check on Google Maps which station is closer to your destination. Choose that stop to get off. Some buses don't stop at that station. You will also be dropped off at a certain station and taken to your booked destination by shuttle bus. In addition, wearing shoes on buses in Vietnam is not allowed. When you get on the bus, you will be given a bag to put your shoes in. It is recommended to wear a pair of light slippers on the day of the ride so that you can easily take them off and change. There are toilets on luxury buses. We will also stop at service areas for everyone to eat and use the restroom. The toilets in the service area are chargeable. There are many complaints online about buses being often late. This depends on probability. I've taken several trains without any delays. It may be survivor bias. But if there is still a trip later, Be sure to reserve enough time. So as not to delay the subsequent journey. #tips #travel guide #vietnam #bus #overseas travel #travel
