The cheapest way from Bangkok to Angkor Wat

Step by Step - The cheapest way to go from Bangkok to Angkor Wat or Siem Reap

Some people would argue that walking, biking or hitching is the cheapest way. And they might be right. But this is not for everyone so let me show you the easy way. And I challenge you on the first leg of this trip. How about you get from Bangkok to the border of Cambodia for less than 2 US $? Only hitching would be cheaper but since you have to wait for a lift in the heat of Thailand you will probably drink for more than 2 US$. And the wear and tear to your shoes or bike would be more than 2 US$ as well. After you cleared the border it is another 9 US$ to get to Siem Reap – the gateway to Angkor Wat.

So lets break it down in small pieces.

From Bangkok to the Cambodian border by train…

From Bangkok, it is about 265 km to the border in Poipet. The train goes all the way from Bangkok to Ban Klong Luk which is only 200 meters from the Cambodian border. It is a 3rd class train only but the Thai 3rd class trains are quite nice. There are vendors walking the train that sell food and drinks and it is quite clean. You can open the windows and enjoy the breeze while your eyes travel to the countryside.

Bangkok to Aranyaprathet: 48 baht

Children aged 0 to 3 and less than 100cm in height travel free.
Children aged 4 to 11 and under 150cm travel at half fare.
Children from 12 years or over 150cm high pay full fare.

No reservation required, just show up, buy a ticket and board the train.

Makkasan	11:47	19:24
Phayathai	11:52	19:29
Bangkok Hualamphong	12:05	19:35

The train also stops at Phaya Thai Station next to the Phaya Thai BTS Skytrain station. And Makkasan Station which is not the same as the Makkasan Airport Rail Link Station!! Bus Asoke Station is close to Makkasan Airport Rail Link Station and Phetchaburi MRT Station. Boarding at these stations can be more convenient if you’re staying in northern Bangkok.

Crossing the Border to Cambodia

You can stay one night at the Thai side of the border or cross the border and stay one night on the Cambodian side. Or you continue the trip on the same day.

After you are done with the paperwork at the Poipet border post walk to the big roundabout. You will see an official free transit bus to the Poipet Tourist Passenger International Terminal about 10 minutes down the road. From here all the shared taxis and buses leave for Siem Reap (and Battambang or Phnom Penh). The shuttle bus (and the man with the official badge who guides you to it) is legitimate. Beware of touts along the way and read up on all the border scams to be prepared. This is the worst border crossing I ever saw – talking about scams here only!

Take a Bus to Siem Reap

I would take a bus but you could try to hitch from here. Usually, cars in Cambodia are full of people but you could get lucky with a truck. You could try for a while and if you have no luck you could take a bus.

The 150 km (94 miles) from Poipet to Siem Reap should take about 2½ hours by shared taxi or 3 hours with a bus. Prices are posted at the ticket counter at the Poipet Tourist Passenger International Terminal. A shared taxi costs about 12 US$ per seat. A bus will cost you about 9 US$, a minivan about 10 US$.

If you left Bangkok with the morning train at 05:55, you should reach Siem Reap around 15:00. If you left Bangkok at 13:05, you should reach Siem Reap around 22:00. Keep in mind that low season or high season makes a difference at the border. Some people are lucky and make it in 20 minutes or less. And some take hours. This will affect your time – and Monsoon rain or a clear sunny day will make a difference for the bus as well!

From Bangkok to Angkor Wat by Bus

From Bangkok to Siem Reap by Bus

Most people that go to Angkor Wat think that the bus stop is also at the temples. Not to mention the hotels and guesthouses. But the gateway to Angkor Wat is actually Siem Reap. Angkor Archaeological Park where the temples are is about 5 kilometers outside of town. If you want to travel from Bangkok to Siem Reap with a bus you have s few options.

Our Recommendation:

If you ask me I would take Giant Ibis Transportation (I explain everything at this link) to go from Bangkok to Cambodia. If you want to go from Bangkok to Siem Reap you have two options: 07.45 from Giant Ibis Bangkok – รถโดยสารไจแอนท์ไอบิสในกรุงเทพฯ 229 Phra Sumen Rd, Khwaeng Talat Yot, Khet Phra Nakhon, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10200, Thailand (super close to Khao San Road!) The bus stops downtown Siem Reap at the Giant Ibis Bus terminal just north of the Sokha Angkor Resort, directly behind the Angkor National Museum.

The other option would be the 08.45 from the 12Go Makkasan Station – แอร์พอร์ตเรลลิงค์มักกะสัน. The station is right at the Airport Rail Link. This comes in handy if you stay somewhere with access to the MRT system. You can take a train to Phetchaburi Station. You could even catch a Klong Boat to Asok Pier. You find the booking site here: Bangkok to Siem Reap

From Khao San Road:

Khao San Travel Mart (51 Trokrongmai, Chaofah RD., Pranakorn, Bangkok 10200) at 08:00, 09:00 and 01:00. The trip should take about 8 hours with border crossing. Usually, they pick you up at the Mc Donalds close to the police station at Khao San Road. But check your ticket before you miss the bus since this can change any time. You can book your ticket here: Khao San Travel Mart

From Morchit Bus Station to Siem Reap

Morchit Bus Station is also called Mo Chit or Chatuchak Terminal

Transport Co LA is a Thai government-operated company and has one bus from Morchit to Siem Reap at 09:00. The trip takes about 9 hours. Some days there is another one at 07:30 which usually is a bit faster.

Keep in Mind

You will cross an international border! You need a valid visa to do so. If you do not have a visa you can get a Visa on Arrival the border. It should cost you US$30 and they only accept clean dollar bills. If you want to pay in Thai Bath be prepared to pay more. Bring two passport pictures as well. Since May 2019 they usually scan your passport picture but if the machine is broken you better be prepared. Your passport needs at last one empty page for the sticker and some space for two stamps. Sometimes there is a mysterious separate 100 baht fee on top of the US$30 fee for the stamps. If the line is not too long you can insist to get your visa without tea money.

The bus company might arrange a special VIP service for another 5US$ to speed things up. Usually, you can do everything on your own save this money.

Most companies change the bus at the border but will bring your bags to the other side. Sometimes you have to bring them yourself

The best Bus Operator in Cambodia

Giant Ibis - The Ruler of the Cambodian Bus Market

Giant Ibis is quite new on the market since it only started in June 2015. The good thing is that the buses are quite new as well. In a few years, Giant Ibis became already the best and most modern operators across Cambodia. Giant Ibis is widely regarded to be more professional than most others in the country. It has more in common with western bus companies than most of its Cambodian rivals. But Giant Ibis is not only the best bus operator in Cambodia. If you want to travel from Thailand to Cambodia or from Vietnam to Cambodia or the other way round – Giant Ibis has you covered!

The best Bus Operator in Cambodia

Apart from the new buses, there are a few more things that you will love about Giant Ibis.

More legroom and reclining seats. Free Water and a Snack. Free Wifi and power sockets.

Giant Ibis Transport puts passenger safety first and has the safest record of any passenger transport company in Cambodia, according to the Ministry of Public Works and Transportation. They are the first company to implement a two-driver policy on trips of more than four hours to prevent driver fatigue.

More than 12 full-time mechanics work with the drivers daily on a maintenance scheme to prevent breakdowns before they can occur. A checklist walk-through is carried out on each bus before each departure.

Giant Ibis is also a very good option for those looking to cross the Cambodian border into Thailand or Vietnam. This process is usually very confusing and can become quite stressful so it is to the operator’s credit that border crossings on these services are as hassle-free as possible. Giant Ibis has a contact that will escort you through the border and streamline the process.

Buses on these routes have Wi-Fi as well as individual power sockets which is a rarity. As any frequent traveler will know, being able to charge your phone is incredibly useful for when you arrive at an unfamiliar destination and are trying to work out how to get to your hotel.

Phnom Penh to Siem Reap

The main route that Giant Ibis offers inside Cambodia is from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap. There are five buses per day from the capital to Siem Reap, close to the world-famous site of Angkor Wat. The first bus leaves at 08.45. The others leave at 09.45 and 12.30 and at the night at 23.00 and 23.30. The trip usually takes seven hours in either direction. There are also tree departures heading from Siem Reap to the capital each day, starting at 08.45. The other two leave at 09.45 and 12.30 and at the night at 23.00 and 23.30. Tickets for either journey are priced at about USD 15 per person. Keep in mind that road conditions change quite a bit over the year in Cambodia. In the dry season with repaired roads, the bus can be one hour or faster. The opposite goes for Rainy Season where the bus can be late. On top of that, you might have traffic. So never book another transportation to close to your expected arriving time.

Phnom Penh–Kampot

From Phnom Penh, you can also reach the riverside town of Kampot in less than three hours. There are two buses each day at 08.00 and 14.45, scheduled to arrive at 10.30 and 17.15 respectively. Two buses also head in the opposite direction every day at 07.45 and 14.00. The tickets cost about USD 9 each way.

Phnom Penh–Sihanoukville

For those looking to head to Cambodia’s stunning beaches in the south of the country, you can visit Sihanoukville from Phnom Penh. There are two buses leaving the capital per day at 08.00 and 12.30. The journey lasts less than five hours so you can even relax on the beach in the afternoon if you take the morning bus! There are two daily services from Sihanoukville to Phnom Penh, at 08.30 and 15:30, with all departures priced at USD11.

Cambodian Departures and Arrivals:

Phnom Penh: Giant Ibis Bus Terminal on Street 90, near Wat Phnom.
Siem Reap: Giant Ibis bus terminal just north of the Sokha Angkor Resort, directly behind the Angkor National Museum
Kampot: Giant Ibis ticket office near the Durian roundabout behind Sokimex petrol station
Sihanoukville: Giant Ibis ticket office on the road to Sokha Beach about 200 meters from Two Lions roundabout.

International service: Vietnam – Cambodia – Vietnam

Giant Ibis offers international routes as well. From Phnom Penh, you can travel to Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh, with two daily departures at 08.00 and 9.45. The trip takes around six hours so you’ll arrive in the afternoon. Tickets cost around USD 18. The bus stops in downtown Ho Chi Minh City at the Giant Ibis ticket office on Pham Ngu Lao Street in District 1. Once you’ve received your baggage there are plenty of metered taxis available to take you to your next destination.

Vietnam to Cambodia

There are two departures every day. 08.30 and 09.45 from Ho Chi Minh to Phnom Penh. The bus departs from the Giant Ibis ticket office in downtown Ho Chi Minh City at Pham Ngu Lao Street in District 1.

International service: Thailand – Cambodia – Thailand

If you are interested in visiting Thailand then it is possible to use Giant Ibis to travel by bus from Siem Reap to Bangkok. There is two bus service per day. The first at 07.45 and the other one at 08.45. Depending on the season it should take eight to nine hours, with fares at around USD 32. They leave at Giant Ibis Main Office but since everything changes fast in Siem Reap you better make sure when you have your ticket. The bus stops at Tanoa, close to Khao San Road in Bangkok.

From Bangkok to Siem Reap

If you want to go from Bangkok to Siem Reap you have two options: 07.45 from Giant Ibis Bangkok – รถโดยสารไจแอนท์ไอบิสในกรุงเทพฯ 229 Phra Sumen Rd, Khwaeng Talat Yot, Khet Phra Nakhon, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10200, Thailand (super close to Khao San Road!) The bus stops downtown Siem Reap at the Giant Ibis Bus terminal just north of the Sokha Angkor Resort, directly behind the Angkor National Museum.

08.45 from the 12Go Makkasan Station – แอร์พอร์ตเรลลิงค์มักกะสัน The station is right at the Airport Rail Link. This comes in handy if you stay somewhere with access to the MRT system. You can take a train to Phetchaburi Station. You could even catch a Klong Boat to Asok Pier. You find the booking site here: Bangkok to Siem Reap

Taiwan High Speed Rail

The fast trainsystem in Taiwan are called Taiwan High Speed Rail (THSR). THSR is a railway line crossing Taiwan for from north to south. It runs approximately 350 km (217 mi) along the west coast, from the capital Taipei to the southern city of Kaohsiung. THSR operates high-speed bullet trains.

12Go Transport starts from Makkasan Airport Railway Link

Do you want to go easy and in luxury from downtown Bangkok to Hua Hin or Kanchanaburi or to Ayutthaya or Pattaya? Or you want to go from there back to downtown Bangkok? There is a new kid in town and it is called 12Go Transport!

You might know 12Go as a booking web site to find Bus tickets, Train tickets, Ferry tickets or Plane tickets but since July 2019 they have their own luxury VIP vans. Their Bangkok bus station is super convenient located at the Makkasan Airport Railway Link station in the heart of Bangkok.
This station is connected via a skywalk to the BTS metro station Phetchaburi Road.

Easy to get to from the Airport or Downtown

If you ever had to go to Mo Chit2 or Bangkok Northeastern Bus Terminal you know what I am talking about. Sometimes it took me two hours to get to the bus station. If you are close to a BTS Skytrain or MRT Subway station you will be in no time at the new 12Go Bus Station!

The 12Go VIP Vans

The vans look like this one or similar. They all come with air-conditioning and friendly drivers. The BIG DIFFERENCE compared to the regular vans you know: This one has only 9 seats. And they have a luggage compartment. So there is space for yourself and your bags.

Bus routes from Makkasan Airport Railway Link

12go Makkasan to/from Hua Hin (Market Village)
12go Makkasan to/from Kanchanaburi (Bridge / War Museum)
12go Makkasan to/from Ayutthaya (Wat Maha That in the Historical Park)
12go Makkasan to Pattaya (Terminal 21, Beach Road and Jomtien) and back from Central Festival on 2nd Road.

KLM Review: Economy Class Jakarta – Kuala Lumpur

Review KLM Economy Class Jakarta – Kuala Lumpur

Before we start with the Review of this KLM flight we dive a bit into the history of the airline. You can skip right here to the KML Review.

The flag carrier airline of the Netherlands KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, or Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij N.V. is the oldest airline in the world still operating under its original name.
Founded on 7 October 1919 by eight Dutch businessmen, KLM was one of the first commercial airline companies in the world.
The first KLM flight took place on May 17, 1920 from London to Amsterdam. In this year KLM carried 440 passengers and 22 tons of freight.
KLM’s first intercontinental flight took off on 1 October 1924. The final destination was Jakarta, in the Dutch East Indies.
Until the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, this was the world’s longest-distance scheduled service by airplane.
In 1950, KLM carried 356,069 passengers. In 1980, KLM carried 9,715,069 passengers. In 1990, KLM carried 16,000,000 passengers. In 2018 KLM had over 34 Million passengers and 169 planes.

KLM Asia

KLM Asia is a KLM-owned subsidiary registered in Taiwan. The airline was established in 1995 to operate flights to Taipei. This way KLM would not compromise the traffic rights for destinations in the People’s Republic of China.

The KLM hub is at the Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.

KLM Review Jakarta - Kuala Lumpur

This review is from my flight KL 0810 from Jakarta to Kuala Lumpur.

Travel Date: March 2nd, 2019

Website and Booking

Let’s take a look at the KLM website (https://www.klm.com) first.

Quiet easy and streamlined to book a flight here. But you have to pay extra for a seat to choose? This is Budget Airline level but not good for a real airline. I can not give more than 3 stars
So far this is 3 Stars!

 3/5

Baggage and Carry-On Luggage

The baggage allowance on KLM:

Economy passengers on intercontinental flights may check 1 bag with total dimensions of max 158 cm (62 in) and a max weight of 23 kg (50 lbs). On European flights, Standard and Flex passengers may check 1 item of 23 kg (50 lbs) free of charge.

Economy passengers on Light tickets do not receive a checked baggage allowance but can purchase an allowance. A 23 kg (50 lbs) bag costs EUR 25 online, or EUR 35 at the airport.

Business Class passengers are permitted to check in 2 hold bags, each with total dimensions no greater than 158 cm (or 62 in) and each weighing no more than 32 kg (70.5 lbs).

Free Carry-On Baggage
Business Class 2 pieces plus one small item not to exceed 18 Kg together
Economy Class 1 piece plus one small item not to exceed 12 Kg together

Very confusing if you fly Economy. And you fly with a “real”, not a Budget Airline but still have to pay for a bag with a Light ticket? And compared to 30kg on some airlines 23 is only standard.
This is 3 Stars

 3/5

Check-In

That is the same old Check-In as with every airline. You get to the airport and depending on the size of it have to walk, take a bus, the Skytrain or whatever kind of connection they offer between terminals. After that, you go to the counters and get in line with the other travelers. When it is your turn you give your passport and put your bags on the scale. BUT WAIT A MINUTE this time it was different – it was better. It was the best Check-In experience I had so far.

This is great. I had a train to Jakarta and took the Airport Bus from the Train Station. I got to the airport very early and was super happy to get rid of my bag when I got there. Early Baggage Drop-Off they call it. Love it!!

I would give 6 Stars but can only give 5 Stars

 5/5

Boarding

Surprise Surprise – Boarding was fun as well. Usually, you have big chaos and people queuing on the wrong line or do not listen when they say “Now boarding row 15 to 25”. So the guys that sit in row 27 go and block everything.

They had their lines organized with barriers so people could form nice queues. And you could read where you have to stand so actually nobody was in the wrong lane. Unfortunate I was in the last lane that got into the plane but that is not KLM’s fault.

I do not give a rating because I do not know if they board like this all the time at the airport or if this is organized by KLM.

Economy Cabin Seat KLM

The KLM Boing 777-200 Economy Class comes with a 3-4-3 seating configuration. 3 seats on the left, 4 seats in the middle and 3 seats on the right side of the plane.

The Economy Class Seat has a width of 44,45 cm (17.5″) and a pitch of 78 cm (31″)
The Economy Comfort Class Seat has a width of 44,45 cm (17.5″) and a pitch of 89 cm (35″)
The Business Class Seat has a width of 51 cm (20″) and a pitch of 160 cm (63″) Flat Bed

I had the seat 20K

Lets talk about legroom
I am 203 cm which is something like 6 Feet 7 Inches. Take a look at this picture how much space was left even for me in a standard seat!

Compared to Kuwait the seat is not as wide and you can not recline as much.
I give 4.2 Stars for Seating

 4.2/5

KLM Economy Class Meal

To be fair – the flight was short and I was surprised that we got free food at all.

They give you that nice black set to lay out on your table. So you do and you can smell the food already. After a while, the food service is at your seat and they only have one option and that one comes with Chicken. If you only have one option why not have Rice with Vegetables? So everybody can eat? I had two beer for dinner. Thank you, KLM but this is not nice.

I can only give 1 Star for the food. Maybe with another beer 1.5 but they only had Heineken.

 1/5

KLM Economy Class In-Flight Entertainment System

The screen comes with a USB port to charge your device.

The screen shows you the time you have left till arriving at the airport. If your flight time is shorter than the movie you choose the in-flight system will give you a warning if you still want to see the movie.

Plenty of movies to choose from. Nothing to complain!

I give 5 Stars for the entertainment system.

 5/5

Cabin Crew

Since the flight was short I can not really say a lot about the crew. The flight attendant working my aisle was friendly but that is it.

 4/5

AirAsia Review: Chiang Mai – Kuala Lumpur

Before we start with the review of AirAsia Air we dive a bit into the history of the airline. You can skip right here to the Review of AirAsia.

AirAsia was founded in 1993 by a government-owned conglomerate and it took till November 1996 for the first planes to fly. The management turned out to be not really good. On 2 December 2001, the airline was US$ 11 million in debt. Tony Fernandes company Tune Air Sdn Bhd bought the airline for one ringgit (about US$0.26 at the time) including the debt. He turned the company around.

In 2003 AirAsia opened a second hub in Johor Bahru and started to fly to Thailand.

AirAsia subsequently started its Thai AirAsia affiliate and began flights to Singapore and Indonesia. In 2004 flights to Macau followed in 2005 by flights to China and the Philippines. In 2006 Brunei and Myanmar were added. In 2007 they expanded the network even more and had 13,9 million passengers that year.

In September 2008 the company announced 106 new routes.

Affiliate airlines

AirAsia Vietnam, AirAsia China, AirAsia India, AirAsia Japan,
Indonesia AirAsia, Philippines AirAsia, Thai AirAsia

AirAsia X

AirAsia X was born as a medium and long-haul budget airline based in Malaysia. Later Thai AirAsia X, Indonesia AirAsia X where founded. They serve destinations in Australia, the United States of America and Asia.

Awards

AirAsia has been named as the world’s best low-cost carrier for 10 years in a row. The latest award was given in 2018. I have no doubt that they will get another one in 2019.

AirAsia Review

This review is from my flight from Chiang Mai ✈ Kuala Lumpur. Travel Date: January 30th, 2019

Website & Booking Management

Let’s take a look at the website first.
https://www.airasia.com will bring you to the site. You might have to change the language and currency on the upper right. Keep in mind that I review this airline as Budget Airline. You get a seat and 7 Kg of carry-on luggage and that is all that is included in the regular ticket price.
If you want to take extra luggage or a meal you have to pay extra.

Let’s go ahead and open that website!

If you fly with more baggage it might make sense to book the Value Pack. Here you get 20 kg and a meal. And you can book a standard seat at the window if you like as well.

The first few rows are so-called Hot Seats – you will board first and you are the first out of the plane. The rows 6-8 on this flight are a bit more expensive because you are in the front and you will be out faster. The rest of the seats are Standard Seats. Only the Exit row seats are Hot Seats again. If you book the Value Pack you can choose every Standard seat (the ones for 149 THB) for free. With Premium Flex you can choose any seat for free.

You can choose Water or Coffee with your meal. And add some Salad and a Muffin extra. I could choose a Vegetarian Meal with my Value Pack. But I had no clue what it was till I got it on the plane.

Web Site and Online Booking

 4.5/5

App

The App is as streamlined as the Web-Site. Easy to navigate and you can find any option quick.

 5/5

Check In at the Airport

CHX is a rather small airport. It is almost in the city and you can reach it quickly from most places if you do not have your flight during rush hour. I know people that walk there from the old part of the city. I checked out of my hotel in the old city at 5:40 am because I woke up early. Could only find a 7/11 open at this time of the day. So I had a coffee there. A cab driver had a snack as well and he asked me if I need a ride. He wanted 140 Bath and since I could not see anybody else providing transportation out that early I took his car to the airport.

Took us not even 10 minutes to get there. At the airport, you will have to get your luggage x-rayed at the entrance. After that, you can go to the Check-in counter and baggage drop. I recommend that you check in online the day before. Usually, the Web Check-In counter is not as busy as the other one.

Check-In
I was quite early but there was already a long line. And since they only have two counters you will wait a long time if you come later. By the time I dropped my bag my line got 3 times longer. The check-in line even more.
One extra counter would not really hurt. But it is a budget airline after all.
The nice lady behind the counter upgraded me to an exit row seat for free and I was very happy.

Boarding
Sometimes it works better and sometimes not. I had the Hot Seat now and could board first.

Let's look at additional Food Options

We covered most of the food you can get already. And if you want to eat you should add your main meal when booking the flight. You save money and you will get what you order.

No clue what this Vegetarian Chicken is and why they serve it. I can understand that a lot of Thai customer like sweet. I do not like it at all. To sum it up: it was sweet and slimy. That is 2 stars for the food. I give 0.1 for the red cutlery.

There is only one Vegetarian option out of 9 when you want to get a meal when booking. That is not enough.

Food & Beverages

 2.1/5

Cabin Crew

Service was friendly and I do not remember anything unpleasant.
But I do not remember anything nice as well. Let’s say they did their job.
I give 3.5 stars.

 3.6/5

3.6 Stars look like not a lot but I would fly AirAsia again if the price is right. The flight from Chiang-Mai to Kuala Lumpur is short enough to cope with seating in a regular row.
The review is for the airline and the flight on this day only – remember that everything can change.

VietJet Air Review: Bangkok – Hanoi – Bangkok

Review VietJet Air Bangkok - Hanoi - Bangkok

Before we start with the Review of VietJet Air let’s dive a bit into the history of the airline. You can skip right here to the Review of VietJet Air.

Do not confuse this airline with Thai Vietjet Air. This is an associate company of the Vietnamese airline.

VietJet Air was founded in 2007. Due to the global economic crisis of the late 2000s and some regulatory issues, it took till December of 2011 for the official launch and first flight.

Starting with a flight from to Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang, the airline expanded to more airports in Vietnam. The first international flight was on the 9th of February 2013 from Ho Chi Minh City to Bangkok.

At the time of writing, VietJet Air serves 23 domestic and 10 international destinations. To give you an idea on how fast they grew over the last few years I have a few passenger numbers for you: The carrier carried its 10 millionth passenger in December 2014, and the 25 millionth passenger in December 2015!

They have a codeshare agreement with Japan Airlines and Thai Vietjet Air.

VietJet Air Review

This review is from my flight from Bankok to Hanoi and from Hanoi to Bangkok. Travel Dates: November 8th 2018 and December 3rd 2018

Website & Booking Management

Let’s take a look at the website first.
https://www.vietjetair.com (This link brings you to the English version of the website). Keep in mind that I review this airline as Budget Airline. You get a seat and 7 Kg of carry-on luggage and that is all that is included in the regular ticket price.
If you want to take extra luggage or a meal you have to pay extra. Sadly even some of the big “Regular Airlines” picked up that stupid idea as well. Some want to charge for carry on luggage as well. What is next??

But let’s go ahead and open that website!

I filled the form on the right with name and dates. You can choose from a few currencies but for this review we use US$. If your travel date is not fixed and you are a bit flexible I recommend that you click the “Find lowest fare” box! You will see why in the next picture.

We selected the 12th to fly but look it is cheaper at the 13th. In this case, it might not be too much to change your mind but sometimes you have 50 or more US $ around your dates and if you have the time – 50 $ are 130 Bia Hoi at the street in Hanoi!!!

Take a look at that!
You can bring 7 Kg of carry on baggage and that is it. But you can at last change the flight, date, and route. So if for any reason you have to fly later or change plans you do not have to trash the ticket. Of course, you have to pay for it. The same goes if you want to sell the ticket to somebody in case you cannot fly at all.
For the rest, you have to pay as well: Seat selection, meal and checked baggage.

This is the cheapest option VietJet Air offers. Still, you can do anything that you can with the Eco Fare as well. The only difference is the change of name.

Travel like a Boss!
With VietJet Air you can! They call it Skyboss and this one is loaded.
If you want to get to this option make sure you do not tick the “Find lowes fare?” box!!
You get 10 Kg carry-on and 30 Kg checked baggage. Can choose a seat and have priority check-in and probably boarding as well.
Nice: VIP Lounge and since they operate from BKK to Vietnam you can go in the lounge there.
No refund – the same with all options.

Booking Summary

Lets choose the Eco fare for this example.
All the happiness is gone after you look over into the yellow field. Even with two flight for only 18.06 US$, the total is already 108.63!

Let us populate the personal information fields so we can get to the next page – the Add Ons.

You do not have to book a seat and pay for it – you will get a seat for sure. But if you like you have the following options:

Premium Seats: 6.70 US$
Front Seat: 4 US$ These seats are like regular seats but you will be out a bit before the passengers that sit in the back of the plane and it is less noisy!
Exit Row Seat: 6.70 US$ More legroom
Standard Seat: 4 US$ Pay for one of those does only make sense if you want to be 100% sure that you sit on the window or aisle or in the middle if you like. Or if you are a group and want/need to sit together or close.

But the 12 A and F have a lot of leg room for example. So let’s take them as well.

Seats and food might not be important but usually, you do bring a bag that you check in.
You get the following options:

15 Kg: 12 US$
20 Kg: 15 US$
25 Kg: 20 US$
30 Kg: 25 US$
35 Kg: 31 US$
40 Kg. 36 US$

We choose 15 Kg and the system will add 2 x 12 US$ to our total.

This brings us to 150 US$ with everything or 128 US$ for the flight with a 15 Kg bag.

All of this is quite standard. Food options are OK but what if you want Vegetarian food? There is only one option as far as I see. That is poor. But we get to this later.

Booking is easy and you clearly see where your money goes. It works and you can pay easy. Of course, it is a Budget Airline and you have to pay for everything extra which is the new normal. But this is not part of the review since we reviewed VietJet Air as Budget Airline.

I give this section 3,7 stars

Web Site and Online Booking

 3.7/5

Check-In & Boarding

Check-In
That is the same old Check-In as with every airline. You get to the airport and find your counter. There you get in line with the other travelers. When it is your turn you give your passport and put your bags on the scale. Do not forget to leave without your luggage receipt!

Boarding
Sometimes it works better and sometimes not. If you ever took a plane out of New Delhi, for example, you might remember that nobody cares about the lady at the desk. She can say “Now we like to invite our 1st Class and Business Class customers to board” as long as she wants. Everybody will run and block the gate as soon as they hear boarding started. Unless I really have an experience I remember the Check-In will not be part of the review.

VietJet Air Seating

The nice girl at the Check-In gave me a free Exit Row Seat! Thank you!!

Plenty of space

VietJet Air Seat

The view a few minutes after takeoff from BKK. As you can see I was sitting in front of the turbine. Which is strange as usually, the exit row in the middle is at the wings. But not so in an Airbus 321 which is fine with me. Look at the next picture – the noise check from the flight Bangkok – Hanoi and the flight back from Hanoi to Bangkok!

This is from my exit row seat in front of the turbine.

And this one is from my flight back from a seat behind the turbine. Quite a difference. So if you can choose – sit in front of the turbine.
Nice extra: Turbulence affects the front of the plane way less so you get this on on top!

Our plane almost ready for boarding

Regular Seat VietJet Air. I am 6’7” or 203 cm tall. I can not move but it is OK since the flight was not long. On the way back the not so nice young lady at the airport wanted 6 US$ extra for the exit row so I skipped it.

My seat was just behind the wings – you can see the shadow.

The lake close to Hoa Binh

If you are small the seating is good – but I am not and this is my review! I can only give 2.5 stars

Seating

 2.5/5

Food & Beverages

This is a Budget Airline and you have to pay for your food and the beverages. If you preorder you get a 20% discount. So if you think you want to eat in the air you better order online. This way you also make sure you get the food you want!

VietJet Air Menue

The only Vegetarian option I found – Vegetarian Congee.

If the food is not included with the ticket it is never cheap. The same goes for the drinks. Compared to Europe the flight is also quite expensive so I was surprised about the prices for International flights. Not a big difference to what you have to pay at budget airlines in Europe. And why is the food more expensive when I fly to Thailand??
Only one vegetarian option is not enough.
On the other hand side, they had 2 different menus on the way to and from Vietnam. So if you eat you do not have the same options which is nice! I give 3 stars for the Food & Beverage options.
