Vietnam to Thailand: Travel Options Without Flying?

Ugh, getting from Vietnam to Thailand without flying? It’s a trek, let me tell you. I did the bus thing once, Ho Chi Minh City to Bangkok, around 2018. Cost me about $45, but it was AWFUL. Twelve hours of pure torture.

Seriously, cramped, bumpy, and the air con was practically nonexistent. I wouldn’t recommend that again. Ever.

Trains are a non-starter directly. Laos is an option, but heard it’s a day-plus by train. Expensive too; I’ve seen prices from $70 to upwards of $150.

So yeah, buses are cheap but brutal, trains are a long, expensive indirect route. Choose wisely. Bus: $30-$80, 8-12+ hours. Train (via Laos): $50-$200, 24+ hours.

How to get to Thailand without a plane?

The world sighs, a map unfurls, not a plane in sight. Thailand…reachable, yes, a whisper on the wind, across lands, over seas, but how?

Turkey beckons, then Armenia, echoes of ancient empires. Sochi, a Russian dream, shimmering on the Black Sea. Russia, vast and unknowable, stretching eastward… a long, long road. The Trans-Siberian railway a possibility.

Vladivostok, ah, the Pacific! Korea’s gentle shores, Japan’s neon glow… pathways shimmering, ferries cutting through jade waters. Mongolia, no, that’s not my route.

Turkey, Armenia, Sochi, Russia: A landlocked Odyssey
Vladivostok, Korea/Japan: Maritime musings
Mongolia is not your chosen path.

The train whispers promises. The ship sighs and glides. Thailand, waiting. Maybe through Kazakhstan, too? It’s about freedom!

How to travel between Vietnam and Thailand?

Flying reigns supreme for a swift Vietnam-Thailand hop. Direct flights seriously cut travel time.

Consider these options:

Hanoi to Bangkok. Flights abound daily. I swear, my Aunt Mildred took that flight last week.
Ho Chi Minh City to Bangkok. Another popular route. Airlines compete fiercely.
Da Nang to Bangkok. This is an option, although perhaps less frequent. Maybe?

Airlines like Vietnam Airlines are worth a look. AirAsia offers budget-friendly fares. Thai Airways tends towards premium service, or so I believe. Air travel’s speed is undeniable, isn’t it?

What are the requirements to travel Thailand?

Passport. Six months validity. Visa, if needed. Travel insurance. Boarding pass. Hotel confirmation, sometimes. No vaccine record needed. That’s 2024, by the way.

Passport: Essential. Duh. Expires in under six months? New one.
Visa: Check your nationality. Some get a pass. Others, not so much. Privilege.
Insurance: Don’t be foolish. Accidents happen. Even in paradise.
Boarding Pass: Proof you’re going somewhere. Or leaving. Perspective.
Hotel: They might ask. Might not. The thrill of the unknown.

My passport expires December 2025. Renewing is a pain. But necessary evils, right? Thailand’s nice. Been twice. 2022 and 2023. Phuket and Chiang Mai. Different vibes. Both good. Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer. Cliche, but true. Sometimes.

Is Thailand good for a solo trip?

Thailand? Solo? Oh honey, are you trying to find yourself…or just better Pad Thai? It’s basically backpacking 101, but with beaches. Yes, go!

It’s amazingly cheap. I mean, cheaper than my therapy bills (and those are practically free, ahem).

Jungle? Beaches? Temples? They got it all. Like a cultural buffet, just try not to get food poisoning (travel insurance, duh). Seriously though, it’s kinda touristy but still, worth it.

Good food: You’ll eat like a king, a broke king, but still.
Easy to navigate: Even I didn’t get totally lost.
Lots to see: Temples, beaches, monks… oh my!
Safety: Safer than dating in 2024, for sure.

Listen, its great. Just don’t get a tattoo you’ll regret, alright? Or do, I don’t care!
