As the range of bus companies is large is is impossible to list all here, however when choosing a bus company to travel with I recommend sticking with the ones known to provide good and reliable service, such Bus companies include:
  • Mai Linh Express
  • Phuong Trang
  • Thanh Bui
  • Kumho
The offical website for Ben Xe Mien Dong is only in Vietnamese which I understand, however even with the poor translation from Google tranlation tool it is easy enough to understand
