    Hi folks,
    I intend to travel with My Wife & Son from HCM to PP in early May by Boat up the Mekong, has anyone on here done this trip?:p

    I am looking for advise on Border crossing, trip duration, recommended operators or any other info you might have, this is one trip where I 'm not worried about cost as everything seems to be next to free in this countrys.

    Also before we leave HCM we want a recommendation for a good hotel, by good I mean good for a family not really looking at budget here, willing to spend on accomadation no problem, similarly for PP recommendations for good hotels would be appreciated.

    Did anyone get any extra shots for these countries??

    thanks all for your input...:)

    Hi Gonzales,

    i'm planning on doing a similar trip up the Mekong into Phnom Penh and one company that i had seen recommended on other sites are http://www.sinhcafevn.com/. On the other side Delta Adventure tours seems to get very bad reviews!

    Hi Solas. I realise you posted this months ago. But are you sure that company is legit? There are 2 companies that seem to be operating under the same name with the sam logo but there is a warning on the website that you posted.
    Other link is http://www.sinhcafe.com/
    Might wait until I'm there and book locally

    Yeah, wait until you get there, loads of companies and loads of travellers doing this route. So much so that I can't even remember the name of the company we used as it was so do-able! Lot of boats bring tourists down into the Delta for a few days and one boat will just continue on to Sihanoukville I think?

    Seems to be a well travelled route at this point alright. Want to getta boat from Saigon to Phnom Penh. Seems to be possible from looking at websites. Any tips for things I must see? Haven't really done the required research this time around as I've had to plan it in a really short space of time. Ankor Wat, Mekong and Halong Bay. Will see the Pagoda and tunnels aswell. Anything else around?
