How to travel from Ho Chi Minh city / Sai Gon to Ben Tre?
The best ways to travel from Ho Chi Minh city / Sai Gon to Ben Tre (and vice versa) are by public bus or private taxi, both are budget-friendly and convenient.
Public buses are very easy to catch, you can buy tickets directly at the bus station (only cash) or call them to reserve seats (You might need a Vietnamese friend to help you call since they can't speak foreign languages you know...).
Or, opt for a hands-off choice: catching a private taxi where you don't have to worry about pinning location cuz we are going to take care that for you.
In this blog we will guide you in details these 2 options

Ho Chi Minh / Sai Gon – Ben Tre bus info isn’t easy to find in English, even though the trip is direct.
Here’s a quick guide: Thinh Phat, Minh Tam, Futa Bus (Phuong Trang) are the 3 recommended operators on this route, offering air-conditioned buses.
It’s a budget-friendly way to travel the Mekong Delta, but note that tickets must be paid in cash (VND).
Tips: FUTA also has many branches in Ho Chi Minh city center. They can arrange transfer shuttle service from those branches to the main station that go to Ben Tre for free or for a small fee. It's best to ask FUTA by phone call, or you can ask your hotel's staff to help you call FUTA and ask the nearest pick up address of this shuttle service.
We understand you’d like to reserve a ticket for assurance, but it’s not necessary. Simply head to the ticket counter and purchase — there’s a 90% chance tickets will be available. If not, you can wait just 30 minutes for the next trip (Thinh Phat & Minh Tam brands), which isn’t a long wait.
