Top 5 airlines serving from Singapore to Vietnam

A pc of cake or biscuit at least. The airport was like a maze need to take another bus to the main terminal to immigration.

Flying with Singapore airlines is always excelllent - the crew are lovely and the food too is great. It’s my number 1 airline

They were able to assist my elderly father and myself after not being able to check in to scoot. The counter service was phenomenal. They did what they could to get us on the next plane so we could catch our Connecting flight. Scoot closed early on us so we ended up missing our flight.

They are great with every aspect of customer service. Helped my elderly father and aided him with using the restroom.

Transfer within the same terminal and lots of facilities at the airport.

The seat comfort, the food and of course the crew, they made you feel welcome and relaxed 😊

Very slow check in. Food poor and some of the special meals offered were not available. Luggage then didnt arrive and still waiting for news 48 hours later

Check in was snails pace, only 1 of the luggage screen was working so long lines, an hour to check in Nobody seemed to want to fix the issue Flight was 45 minutes late Scoot is a mini sized plane ( sardine class plane), literally felt slammed between people

Would have been nice to have more variety and less dairy in the Indian Vegetarian special meal. Why do they include Parathas as part of the entree and also on the side (substitute for bread/roll)? Also, no need for so much dairy...don't need milk packet, yogurt and Chobani Greek yogurt in the same meal.

A very small gate at Singapore airport, lots of people packed into a small area…. A Petrie dish for infection. The flight was late although the captain did make up time. We had an aisle and middle economy class seat on the plane. The flight appeared to be very full. The seats were small, hard and very uncomfortable with minimal leg room. I’m a small woman and felt really cramped. My husband is a big man and stated he was unable to move at all in his seat. We were given 2 meals during the flight from Singapore to Brisbane. Our first meal was okay at best but the second meal was inedible. I think it was supposed to be veg in pastry but the pastry was full of air with minimal if any filling. The staff were pleasant and efficient. Getting off the plane went without any problems. It did take an extended period of time for our bags to come out onto the carousel. For the best ‘airline’ in the world, it was pretty poor. If Singapore is the best, what are the others like?

The plane had a technical problem it would delayed 10 hours but they just gave limited information and put all passengers into the Miracle lounge. Ther were not enough chairs and so on.

Ensure there is a choice of food for all customers and also enough food

An excellent airline; polite and courteous cabin crew, excellent meal and drink service. Highly recommended.

We boarded the plane at 1:20 pm It was hot. There was no air-conditioning It was stifling They kept us on the plane sitting there for 1 hour and 10 minutes

No space in between the seats as per them the average height of human is 5’3” and weight as 55, so seats are designed as per the same. Also, the aircraft was dirty and full of insects

when we arrived at Taipei no one help us to get boarding pass. we saw a few people there asked them for help but they just ignored us. There was a guy told us to call Starlux number to get help but we don’t know how to dial the number until there was a lady working there helped us to call Starlux customer then someone came down took us to another counter for boarding pass. Very confused and inconvenient. We might not choose Starlux again in the future.

There was no entertainment and food option limited But the service was first class on an economy flight

Technical problems checking in. Had to wait a long time while they got things ready.

Vietnam airlines is just one step upper to the cheapest one (vietjet, if you wanted delays and cancel or feel like a criminal then vietjet is for you) for sure better customer cares and on time.

Jetstar was terrible. They left us without boarding passes for the connecting flight for several hours, for no reason. They should have given us the boarding passes for the connecting flight, but instead we were stuck in a “customs limbo” in Ho Chi Minh airport until very shortly before we were to board. No reason for them not to give us the connecting boarding passes.

We had 2 attempts to land at Singapore Changing during a thunderstorm. Everything was delayed by 1 hour plus.

Boarding was not accordingly after front seat, bmf then back seat. This delayed for at least 40mins or more. The staff at Jakarta can do better. Is chaos at the entry to board the plane. This tarnished Scoot reputation when everyone was talking about it.

The crew was not customer oriented at all, even confrontational . The aircraft needs more attention to detail as far as comfort, and the 1 hour sitting at the gate with no air is inexcusable

We flew on the 787 Dreamliner direct to main gate at KLIA2, quick entry via eGate and on the train 41mins after touchdown. Go well SCOOT

Was on scoot plus. The only good thing about the flight was the spacious seats. Tables and armrests were extremely dirty Food: bad Entertainment: non existent Wifi: unable to connect, then was painfully slow that we couldn’t even send messages Good thing we had a night flight, so we just slept throughout.

Not clear why boarding passes could only be issued at the counter and not through the kiosk. I had already check-in on the web, so waiting to obtain a boarding pass 1.5 hours before the actual flight defeats the purpose of early web check-in.

no charging point. food offering is limited and very much on the budget line. Overall is not satisfying for such a price and duration of flight.

We were delayed, but there was never any update given. Everyone was standing at the gate as boarding was supposed to commence at 13:10 for a 13:55 flight. We didn't actually start getting on the shuttles to the plane, until after 14:00. No updates, no information given at all.

Scoot refused to change my flight even though I had booked a flexible ticket. MyTrip wanted to charge me an extra $271 for a ticket that was only listed as $217. I complained about this to scoot and they didn't give a shite. So never again will you be getting money from me Scoot. You can Scoot off.

It would have been nice if I could have actually travelled to Perth. I injured my back and was unable to fly. Scoot refused to change my ticket saying it was not flexible. However I purchased the ticket through MyTrip and it was flexible. MyTrip wanted to charge me an extra $271 to change to a ticket that was only listed as $217. Never again will I fly Scoot or book through MyTrip

So far I have liked bamboo airways more than Viet jet and Vietnam airlines. I like all the but bamboo is best to me.

Plenty of crew that all worked hard to deliver an exceptional service. Plentiful supply of food and beverages.

All worked efficiently but the food offered was pretty horrible

Professional, courteous, punctual service. In particular, staff was quite observant and assisted my mother with wheel-chair even though we forgot to even mention about the same.

Very good airline, everything easy, check in etc, good service and leaves on time.

No water or snacks. Crew did not give us arrival cards. There was no need for more than 1 flight attendant as they did not do anything

I got to the airport and flight was cancelled without notice

Some chair in the flight should be maintained, but I think they may not have time to check every seats, since it is high demand in this period.

Our experience was the worst. Over 2 days flight was changed and delayed 4 times. Not impressed

Very bad experience and will never try their service again. Not even water serve for 8hr flight. Will have to wait for every prepurched to cimplete before can buy water.

They do not even give you water. Have to pay for that and not cheap. Staff had some friendly and some very unfriendly. Terrible experience

Vietjet still requires CASH(!?!?!) payments at NRT to pay for increased baggage allowance. No other modern carrier requires their customers to pay ground staff in cash. It's 2024...make the check-in experience better, simpler, more efficient for your ground staff and, more importantly ,for your passengers by offering CREDIT CARD payment option!

The plane stayed hot the entire time, no leg room, no entertainment. Definitely a budget airline experience.

Not a lot of leg room for a long flight. Felt crammed into seat

Flight was okay. Seats were a bit cramped and not that comfortable, especially for a 7-hour flight, but you get what you pay for. Food has to be bought also so plan ahead. But if you can tolerate it then it’s not a bad deal! Staff are nice too.

Also, no need for so much dairy...don't need milk packet, yogurt and Chobani Greek yogurt in the same meal.

There was no entertainment and food option limited But the service was first class on an economy flight

They didn't have a vegetarian food in spite of the ore order

Technical problems checking in. Had to wait a long time while they got things ready.

Vietnam airlines is just one step upper to the cheapest one (vietjet, if you wanted delays and cancel or feel like a criminal then vietjet is for you) for sure better customer cares and on time.

Flight was good but they cancelled return direct flight so they provide us connecting flight through hanoi

Delayed for 45 minutes. Don't know what's the issue. Other than that, food was not to my satisfaction. However it's okay.

My first course flight (Aor-Kul) was cancelled in the morning, and they asked me to board the night flight hence I need to transit overnight for the 2nd flight (Kul-Myy) that supposed to be on the same day. The overnight stay was not provided, (I'm traveling with my spouse, a daughter (5 y.o.) and an infant (2 months old). Hence I booked Sama Sama Hotel at my own expense (fortunately using my enrich miles points). Other than this issue, all services is good.

My experience with the flight was okay. My experience checking in was absolutely terrible. I was told I needed to change my e-ticket number to check in because I missed my flight in PDX. Even when shown the itinerary, they didn't budge and sent me to KLM across the airport. KLM wasn't open until 8pm and my flight was at 7:30pm. Nobody made accommodations in any way to get me to KUL. To add insult to injury, they rescheduled my flight to the very next day, creating a very long layover and did not offer any hotel stay. After this, even worse, I found out later they delayed the first 7:30pm flight to 9:10pm. Meaning, I could have still boarded but they refused to even try to get me on the plane. As a result, I missed a day of work and lost pay for the day. Also, when I went to get my luggage, it wasn't there. It was STILL in Singapore. They had from 5:30pm to 5am to get my luggage onto the plane and they still couldn't get that right. This is the worst experience I've had flying anywhere in the past decade I've been travelling.

Entertainment system was too old, crew were unorganised during boarding

No recognition for one World Emerald member. Business class seat has flat bed

No recognition for one World Emerald member. I got row 1 in business class and it was pathetic. No leg space, cramped space, less recline

Flight from Shanghai to Kuala Luumpur delay byy 3.5hrs with no real explanation.

Elderly individual shud be given priority to board the plane together with passengers with children and disabled. Otherwise things are OK.

Cabin crew as always are leaps and bounds the crowning glory of MH. Friendliness and natural warmth are such incredible traits. Food was very good on this flight also; and flexibility in meal time to accomodate rest was a plus point. Early arrival and landing as the first morning inbound at T4 LHR meant I was off the plane and in the queue for an Uber in less than 15 minutes!

I enjoy traveling with Malaysia Airlines. The Asian food they serve is pretty good and the red wine was also good. They did run out of beer and only did a couple of water rounds during the flight but the staff were very friendly.

We had 2 attempts to land at Singapore Changing during a thunderstorm. Everything was delayed by 1 hour plus.

Boarding was not accordingly after front seat, bmf then back seat. This delayed for at least 40mins or more. The staff at Jakarta can do better. Is chaos at the entry to board the plane. This tarnished Scoot reputation when everyone was talking about it.

We flew on the 787 Dreamliner direct to main gate at KLIA2, quick entry via eGate and on the train 41mins after touchdown. Go well SCOOT

Was on scoot plus. The only good thing about the flight was the spacious seats. Tables and armrests were extremely dirty Food: bad Entertainment: non existent Wifi: unable to connect, then was painfully slow that we couldn’t even send messages Good thing we had a night flight, so we just slept throughout.

Not clear why boarding passes could only be issued at the counter and not through the kiosk. I had already check-in on the web, so waiting to obtain a boarding pass 1.5 hours before the actual flight defeats the purpose of early web check-in.

Scoot refused to change my flight even though I had booked a flexible ticket. MyTrip wanted to charge me an extra $271 for a ticket that was only listed as $217. I complained about this to scoot and they didn't give a shite. So never again will you be getting money from me Scoot. You can Scoot off.

It would have been nice if I could have actually travelled to Perth. I injured my back and was unable to fly. Scoot refused to change my ticket saying it was not flexible. However I purchased the ticket through MyTrip and it was flexible. MyTrip wanted to charge me an extra $271 to change to a ticket that was only listed as $217. Never again will I fly Scoot or book through MyTrip

No water or snacks. Crew did not give us arrival cards. There was no need for more than 1 flight attendant as they did not do anything

I got to the airport and flight was cancelled without notice

Some chair in the flight should be maintained, but I think they may not have time to check every seats, since it is high demand in this period.

Our experience was the worst. Over 2 days flight was changed and delayed 4 times. Not impressed

Very bad experience and will never try their service again. Not even water serve for 8hr flight. Will have to wait for every prepurched to cimplete before can buy water.

They do not even give you water. Have to pay for that and not cheap. Staff had some friendly and some very unfriendly. Terrible experience

Vietjet still requires CASH(!?!?!) payments at NRT to pay for increased baggage allowance. No other modern carrier requires their customers to pay ground staff in cash. It's 2024...make the check-in experience better, simpler, more efficient for your ground staff and, more importantly ,for your passengers by offering CREDIT CARD payment option!

The plane stayed hot the entire time, no leg room, no entertainment. Definitely a budget airline experience.

Not a lot of leg room for a long flight. Felt crammed into seat

Flight was okay. Seats were a bit cramped and not that comfortable, especially for a 7-hour flight, but you get what you pay for. Food has to be bought also so plan ahead. But if you can tolerate it then it’s not a bad deal! Staff are nice too.

This route goes from Singapore, up through Malaysia, into Thailand, across Cambodia, and finally up the length of Vietnam to Hanoi.

An alternative option is to take a train up through Thailand into Laos, then take a bus from Vientiane to Luang Prabang, and finally one across the border to Hanoi in Vietnam. However, this skips out most of Vietnam (unless you head back south through the country to HCMC). So you have to think about which countries and destinations are most important to you and plan the route accordingly. Luckily, you can book most trains and buses online, with easy-to-use, English-friendly booking sites like Baolau and 12Go Asia – so it’s actually quite easy to plan out your route.

Day One – Part One: Singapore to Woodlands Station. Pass through customs and take the train from Woodlands to JB Sentral, five minutes across the border in Malaysia*. Part Two: JB Sentral to KL Sentral Station Kuala Lumpur (usually with a change in Gemas or Tampin), 9 hours. Two – Free day in Kuala Lumpur. Three – KL Sentral to Butterworth Station, 4.5 hours. Ferry to Georgetown on Penang Island, 30 minutes. Four – Free day in Georgetown. Five – Ferry to Butterworth, 30 minutes. Butterworth to Pedang Besar, 2 hours. Pedang Besar to Bangkok, overnight train departing at 5pm daily, 17 hours. Six – Arrive into Bangkok around 10am. Free day in the city. Seven – Free day in Bangkok.

Day Eight – Bangkok Hua Lamphong Station to Aranyaprathet, 5.5 hours. Leaves at 5:55am daily. Aranyaprathet to Poipet (on the Cambodian border) by tuk tuk, 5 minutes. Bus or shared taxi to Siem Reap, 3 hours. Nine – Free day in Siem Reap. Ten – Explore Angkor Wat. Eleven – Siem Reap to Phnom Penh by boat, 6.5 hours. Can also take a bus in around 4 hours. Twelve – Free day in Phnom Penh. Thirteen – Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh City by bus, 6 hours. Fourteen – Spend the day exploring HCMC. Overnight train Saigon Station to Da Nang, 17 hours.

Day Fifteen – Arrive Da Nang and take a taxi or bus to Hoi An, 45 minutes. Sixteen – Free day in Hoi An. Seventeen – Hoi An to Da Nang by taxi, 45 minutes. Spend the afternoon exploring Da Nang. Eighteen – Train from Da Nang to Hue, 2-3 hours Nineteen – Free Day in Hue. Twenty – Train from Hue to Hanoi, 14 hours. Twenty One – Free Day in Hanoi.

*It may be easier to spend a night in JB Sentral to break the journey up as the KL trains often depart early.

How to Travel from Singapore to Vietnam by Train

The amount of time you’ll need for this journey depends on a lot of things. How long you want to spend exploring each destination, how many stops you want, and if you want to make any detours.

Southeast Asia Train Travel

As you can see from the itinerary above, three weeks is probably the fastest you can do the route and still be able to sightsee in each destination. If you don’t take any free days to explore, and skip the detours to Penang and Hoi An, you could do the route in about 11 or 12 days. Alternatively, you could spend a full month and have longer stops in each destination, or add in some extra detours – for example, to one of the Thai islands!

The beauty of the route is how flexible it is. You can book almost all the trains in advance online, which means it’s easy to plan the exact route that suits you. One thing I would say is that the longer you can spend taking this trip, the better. There are so many beautiful places to explore along the way, and so many extra stops that you could throw in. Take your time and enjoy it!

It’s a good idea to book the trains in South East Asia as far in advance as you can. A week before my trip, some of the journeys I wanted to book were already sold out! It seems popular routes and times can get booked pretty far in advance. That said, if you’re flexible in terms of dates and timings, you may be OK booking a few days before, or even on the day (although bear in mind that some of the train companies don’t sell on the day tickets).

The easiest way to book is online, but the rail company websites are rarely in English and generally only accept local cards. I used the following two websites to book all my journeys and found them to be incredibly reliable, and easy to use.

Baolau – search and book train, ferry, and bus tickets in China, Vietnam, Cambodia , Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, Philippines and Indonesia. Easy to use, and often the slightly cheaper option.

12-Go Asia – search and book trains, buses, ferries, transfers and flights in Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Philippines, Laos, India, Singapore, Japan, Sri Lanka , New Zealand, China, Hong Kong, Australia. More destinations and usually more options in the results – but the prices were sometimes a fraction higher.

Singapore to Vietnam by Train

5. The Journey, Section by Section

Part one of this journey through South East Asia overland is to travel from Singapore to Malaysia. The capital, Kuala Lumpur, makes a great first stop, although there’s no direct Singapore to Kuala Lumpur train. Instead, you can take the journey in stages.

Singapore to Kuala Lumpur Train

First, travel to Woodlands Station on the border of Singapore . You can get there on public transport from downtown, or I spent $23 SGD (about £13) on a Grab taxi. At Woodlands Station, buy your ticket if you don’t already have one, then make your way through customs. Once you’ve been stamped out of Singapore and into Malaysia, you take a five minute train across the border to Johor Bahru (JB Sentral Station).

Because my train to Kuala Lumpur was pretty early in the morning, and the customs queue can be quite slow, I crossed the border the night before and stayed in a cheap hotel near JB Sentral Station. However, it’s entirely possible to travel from Singapore to KL by train in one day.

best hostels in kuala lumpur

Next, you take the train from JB Sentral to KL Sentral in Kuala Lumpur. This takes around 9 hours, and usually involves a change at either Pulau Sebang (aka Tampin) or Gemas. The scenery is relatively flat and green, with a lot of palm plantations.

Woodlands to JB Sentral – there are very frequent trains running all day from 5am to 10:45pm. Search times and prices on Baolau or 12Go Asia .

JB Sentral to KL Sentral – the best option is the 8:45am train from JB Sentral to Gemas (arriving at 1pm) followed by the 3:10pm train from Gemas to Kuala Lumpur. Click here to check times and prices .

READ MORE: 8 of the Best Hostels in Kuala Lumpur

From Kuala Lumpur, it would be possible to head straight to Bangkok, but the trip would be almost two days of travelling and you’d skip most of Malaysia that way. A great next stop is Penang Island in the north of Malaysia.

Take a train from KL Sentral to Butterworth. There are several trains departing throughout the day, and it takes around 4 hours 15 minutes. Search times and prices on 12Go Asia or  Baolau . The 11:25am train arrives at 3:40pm, which gives you plenty of time for the next leg of the journey.

Malaysia to Thailand Train

Directly opposite Butterworth station is a bus terminal – follow signs for the Ferry Shuttlebus if you’re not sure. From there you can take a free shuttle bus to the ferry terminal. Ferries depart at least once an hour, usually every thirty minutes, and take around 20-30 minutes to cross to Penang Island. A ferry ticket costs 1.20 MYR (around 20p or $0.30). The ferry will drop you in Georgetown, and you can easily walk to most hotels from the pier. Spend a day or two in Georgetown, or explore the beaches and nature reserves around the island.

For the next leg of the journey, you’ll want to take the overnight train from the border to Bangkok . If you’re starting out from Georgetown, take the ferry back across to Butterworth and take the free shuttlebus back to the station. Aim to take the 2:25pm train from Butterworth to Padang Besar, which is about two hours north on the border with Thailand.

south east asia overland

At Padang Besar station, you go through Malaysia’s exit customs first, and then through the Thai customs. There’s a daily overnight train which departs at 5pm local time. The tickets will say 6pm, but that’s Thai time: if you’re in Malaysia you need to arrive at Padang Besar.

The overnight train to Bangkok takes around 17 hours. Book early to reserve a bottom bunk if possible as these are a little wider and comfier. During the day the train has seats, at night a staff member will turn these into bunks so you can sleep. The train arrives into Bangkok at around 10am.

Butterworth to Padang Besar – you can’t book this train online or in advance, so arrive with plenty of time to buy a ticket at Butterworth Station.

Overnight Train to Bangkok – search prices on Baolau and 12Go Asia . Book this train as early as you can as it is often full.

Malaysia to Bangkok train

Some sites I read said that the border control at Padang Besar station closes promptly at 4:30pm, but when I was there they stayed open until everyone from my train was through.

The next step is to head to Cambodia . Head to Hua Lamphong Station to take the 5:55am train to Aranyaprathet, which is close to the border. This train can’t be booked in advance or online, but I’m told it never sells out. It also only costs 48 bhat (around £1.10). There’s a second train that leaves later, but you won’t arrive in time to go through customs so it’s better to take the early train to avoid spending a night in Poipet.

From Aranyaprathet, you can hop in a tuk tuk to Poipet which is right on the border. There are always loads of tuk tuks hanging around outside the station when the train arrives, and depending on your haggling skills you can expect to pay 80-100 bhat (£2-2.40) for the ten minute journey. The tuk tuk will drop you at customs*, where you first get stamped out of Thailand, then walk across the border into Cambodia and get your visa. Be careful with your valuables as pickpockets are common in this area.

Bangkok to Siem Reap Train

After passing into Cambodia, people will try to sell you bus tickets straight away. Ignore them and wait for the free shuttle to the bus station. From there a bus to Siem Reap costs $9 USD, or a spot in a shared taxi will cost $12 – there’s an official price list on the wall at the bus station.

* If you haven’t already bought a Cambodian e-visa (I recommend it), tuk-tuk drivers may try to take you to a travel agency to buy one at inflated prices. Tell them you have an e-visa (even if you don’t) and say no. The official Cambodian visa office is after the Thai exit, so anyone trying to sell you a visa before that point is not legit. 

READ MORE: 16 Awesome Things to do in Siem Reap

At the moment, there aren’t very many trains in Cambodia, which is why it’s necessary to take a bus to Siem Reap. In 2018 a new train began running from Poipet to Phnom Penh, so if you don’t mind missing Siem Reap and Angkor Wat, you can continue your journey from the Thai border by rail. However, if it’s your first time in Cambodia I think a trip to Siem Reap is a must!

Cambodia Overland

From Siem Reap there is no train to Phnom Penh (although this may change in the next few years as the country is working on an extensive new rail network). You can take a bus, which takes 5-6 hours (search prices on Baolau and 12Go Asia ). Or, a more romantic option is to take a boat from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh. This takes around six and a half hours, and can be booked a day or two in advance at one of the tourist offices in downtown Siem Reap. However, the boat only runs in certain seasons, and when the water level is high enough. You’ll probably have to wait until you’re in Siem Reap to find out if it’s actually running.

RELATED POST: Should I Visit the Killing Fields in Phnom Penh?

Again, there is no train (yet) from Phnom Penh to Vietnam . The quickest and most convenient way to reach Ho Chi Minh City is by bus, which takes around 6 hours and can be booked online, with frequent departures throughout the day. Check Baolau or 12Go Asia for times and prices.

Another option is to travel by boat to Chau Doc in Vietnam, and then take another boat to Ho Chi Minh City. However, this can’t be booked online and it’s hard to find any concrete information about boat times, so it’s the less predictable route. If you have plenty of time, it’s certainly a more adventurous way to travel from Phnom Penh to HCMC.

Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh City Overland

If you want to take a detour to Phu Quoc Island before heading to Vietnam, you can take a train from Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville on the coast. From there it’s a short bus to the ferry terminal, and a ferry to the island.

READ MORE: 12 Awesome Things to do in Vietnam

After Ho Chi Minh City, it’s easy to travel north through Vietnam , and there are dozens of great destinations to stop off at. If you have time, a stop at coastal Nha Trang is ideal for some relaxing beach time. It also helps break up the journey; travelling from Ho Chi Minh to Hoi An by train is a long journey (but a very pretty one).

Ho Chi Minh to Hoi An by Train

Trains depart Saigon Station in HCMC pretty regularly, so you have a lot of choices. The journey to Da Nang takes around 17 hours, so you may want to opt for an overnight train. Or, you could break it up by stopping somewhere like Nha Trang or Quy Nhon City. Unlike the train to Bangkok, the beds are in cabins of 4, so you might be sharing with strangers. There are no curtains, but you can hang up a scarf if you’re in a bottom bunk. Search prices and times on Baolau or 12Go Asia .

Take a train north to Da Nang, then you can get to Hoi An by bus or taxi. The buses are cheaper, but infrequent and take longer. I paid just 403,000 VND (about £13) for the 45 minute Grab ride from Da Nang to Hoi An.

After a few days enjoying the beautiful city of Hoi An, head back to Da Nang station . If you have time it’s also worth spending a day or two in Da Nang.

Da Nang to Hue Train

The Da Nang to Hue train journey is easily  one of the prettiest in Vietnam.  It goes around the famous Hai Van pass, with mountains on one side and ocean on the other. The train takes around 2-3 hours and there are fairly regular departures throughout the day, but choose a daytime one to best enjoy the views. And you want to be on the right hand side of the train (as you face the front) in order to enjoy a sea view.

Check times and prices on 12Go Asia or Baolau .

READ MORE: While you’re in Hue check out my guide to the 14 dishes you must try in Hue !

The final leg of the journey is to take the train from Hue to Hanoi. Again, if you have a bit longer and want to plan some detours, there are plenty of places to stop off along the way – Ninh Binh, for example.

Hue to Hanoi by Train

Hue to Hanoi by train takes around 14 hours, and it’s a really scenic ride so I recommend a day train if you have time. There are still overnight trains available though. You have quite a few options in terms of timings, so do a search on Baolau or 12Go Asia to see what your choices are.

From Hanoi, it’s also possible to continue north to the mountains around Sapa , or take a detour to the ever-popular Halong Bay. And if you want to continue your Asia overland journey, you can even take a train all the way back to Europe through China, Mongolia, and Russia.

Because you’ll be visiting several countries and crossing a vast area of land, it’s hard to find a perfect time to travel South East Asia overland. Each region has pretty different weather patterns, and chances are you’ll experience a rainy season somewhere at some point.

I travelled during November and December, and conditions were pretty perfect – except for torrential rain and flooding in Central Vietnam! I’ve listed each country’s seasons below just to give you an idea.

Singapore – rain is possible all year round due to the tropical climate. There are two monsoon seasons, December-March and June-September. Heat is at its peak during the summer months. April-May and October-November are good times to visit.

Malaysia – the west coast has rainy season from April to October (although storms are generally brief and refreshing). On the east coast, rainy season runs from November to February.

South East Asia Overland by Train

Thailand – the cooler, dry season of November to April is generally the best time to travel. Rainy season runs from May/June to October. It’s worth noting that the north and south of the country have pretty different climate patterns.

Cambodia – November through March are considered the better months to visit Cambodia. The wet season runs from May to October.

Vietnam – the climate varies quite dramatically from north to south. In the north, winter months are cool but dry, while summer (May to October) is hot and humid, with a lot of rain. Central Vietnam has heavy rainfall in October-December, and dry weather from January to August. In the south, rainy season runs from May to early November.

7. What Are the Trains Like in Asia?

On the whole, the trains in South East Asia were comfortable – if a little old and dilapidated at times. I tried to take pictures of every single one as I travelled from Singapore to Vietnam by train in order to show what they were like – including the toilets on board! Here’s a quick run-down…

You’re only on this train for about 5 minutes so it doesn’t matter too much what it’s like! But it’s a comfy enough train and there’s plenty of space overhead for baggage.

Singapore to Malaysia Train

Most of the trains in Malaysia were pretty modern. The newer ones had plug sockets at all the seats, some had screens showing journey updates and TV shows. From JB Sentral to Tampin a trolley service came by twice, while the trains from Tampin to KL and the one from KL to Butterworth both had dining cars selling hot meals.

The commuter train from Butterworth to Padang Besar is similar to a metro train, with space for standing as well as seats. There are no toilets or food services on board, but it’s only a two-hour journey. 

Singapore to Kuala Lumpur Train

The overnight train is old and pretty basic, but comfortable. It has seats that convert into bunks at night, with curtains for privacy. A trolley service sells food but you’ll need Thai Bhat to pay, so try to pick some up before crossing the border if you’re coming from Malaysia. Or you can stock up on snacks at Padang Besar station before boarding the train.

Upper berths are a bit narrower and you can’t really sit up in them – plus the ladder situation is a tad precarious – so get a bottom if you can. But neither option is that bad. You can store your luggage under the seats, but avoid big cases as a few people couldn’t fit theirs. There are a couple of plug sockets in each carriage so you can charge your phone if needed – but keep it visible. The lights don’t switch off at night, so bring an eye mask to help you sleep. If you’re sitting on the right-hand side of the train you’ll be facing the sunrise in the morning, which is nice.

The train from Bangkok to Aranyaprathet is a “3rd Class” train with only fans, no A/C – but the windows open and it’s comfy enough. Arrive as early as you can to get a seat by a window, so you can enjoy the breeze. The right-hand side of the train will face the sun, which is good for watching sunrise but can also get quite hot later in the day.

Malaysia to Thailand train

Trains in Vietnam were pretty decent on the whole, and newer than the ones in Thailand. If you take an overnight train, there are four bunks in each compartment which can mean sharing with strangers. In theory, you could buy all four beds, but this is expensive and it’s possible that the guard would sell the spare bunks to someone anyway once they realised you weren’t using them. There are no curtains on these beds so I recommend bringing a scarf to hang across your bunk for privacy.

The train from Da Nang to Hue goes around the Hai Van Pass, which has amazing views. Sit on the right-hand side for coastal views.

The train from Hue to Hanoi was pretty comfy. During the morning people come round selling coffee, and at around midday, there was a trolley service selling hot food on a plastic tray for 35 VND. I described it in my notes as “not awful”.

South East Asia Overland by Train

7.1 But What Are the Loos Like?!

This is a very important question in my opinion. Thankfully, the toilets on most of the trains in Southeast Asia were pretty OK. In Malaysia they were very good, and clean. All trains had either Western toilets or a choice of Western and Asian (squat) – however, some of the loos on longer journeys got pretty dirty after a while so I don’t recommend sitting on the seat!

Most of the time there was soap, a working tap, and toilet paper. Being Asia there’s usually a “bum gun” spray as well! In Vietnam the paper always seemed to run out, so I recommend having a lot of tissues or wetwipes on you just in case.

Thailand Sleeper Train Bathroom

A few essentials for taking the train in Southeast Asia – especially if it’s an overnight train! This is everything I couldn’t have survived without when I travelled from Singapore to Vietnam by train… 

Pillowcase or scarf to cover your pillow – they didn’t seem to change the pillowcases in Vietnam, only the bedding. And even though the pillows came sealed in a bag on the Thailand train, I was still wary. Take your own pillowcase, or simply a scarf, to put between your face and the pillow!

Scarf – you can hang it up for privacy on overnight trains with no curtains.

Eye mask – to sleep on trains when the lights are on.

Ear plugs – the trains were generally pretty quiet after dark, but it’s nice to have a set of earplugs just in case.

Lot’s of tissue – in case the toilet roll runs out.

Anti-bacterial handgel – for after using a dirty bathroom!

Snacks – in case there’s no food to buy.

Bottled water – or use a filter bottle and you can fill up from the bathroom tap without worrying! I LOVE my Water-to-Go bottle ( read the review here and use my discount code, EMLUX15, for 15% off).

How to Travel from Singapore to Vietnam by Train

A few seriously useful apps which will make travelling overland through South East Asia a doddle.

Grab – Grab is Asia’s version of Uber, and it’s insanely useful. Download it and set up an account so you’re ready to go as soon as you land. Which is handy as airport taxis tend to be a massive rip off! Apple | Android

Maps.Me – This app is similar to Google Maps, except that it works offline. Before you travel, download the maps for all the countries you’ll be visiting. When you arrive you’ll be able to plan routes and search for places – without the internet. It’s a lifesaver!  Apple | Android

XE Currency  – a simple app that converts currency for you. Set up your list with all the countries you’ll be travelling to, and the app will sync whenever you’re online so it’s always the latest data.  Apple | Android

Booking.com and/or hostelworld – these apps are great for managing your bookings and making on-the-go changes.

Dropbox – my favourite app for backing up photos. You can set your phone to auto-backup your camera roll to Dropbox every time you’re on wifi.

WhatsApp – for staying in touch with the folks back home!  Apple | Android

How to Travel from Singapore to Vietnam by Train

Visa requirements vary from country to country, and also depending on your nationality. So always check the advice on official government websites before you travel from Singapore to Vietnam by train. But here’s a brief overview for British nationals (like me!). All info was correct in Feb 2019.

Singapore – you don’t need a visa for visits of up to 90 days.

Malaysia – you don’t need a visa, and you will usually be given permission to stay for 3 months on arrival.

Thailand – you can enter Thailand without a visa for up to 30 days. When you’re in Thailand it’s possible to extend the stay by a further 30 days at a Thai Immigration Office.

Cambodia – Brits DO need a visa to travel to Cambodia. You can get them at the border on arrival, for $30 USD. You’ll need to have a passport photo with you for this. It speeds up the process considerably if you buy an e-visa online ( official site here ). It costs $36, and you can upload a photo directly to the site which saves you having to take one to the border. This also prevents any issues with people trying to sell you unofficial visas at inflated prices, which is common practice at the Poipet border.

Vietnam – at the moment, British citizens can enter Vietnam without a visa for up to 15 days. For visits of up to 30 days you can buy an e-visa online for $25 USD ( official site here ).

Singapore to Vietnam by Train

If you’re on the Three Network (genuinely the best UK network for travellers), then you’re in luck. Both Singapore and Vietnam are “Go Roam” countries so you can use your phone’s normal data without any extra charges.

If you want to use the internet freely in the other countries, or you’re not on Three, you can usually pick up a local SIM card fairly cheaply. Many of the border stations have them available to buy. Make sure you get your phone unlocked before you leave home. You usually need a passport to buy a SIM card.

You can pick up pre-paid SIM cards very easily, at gas stations, grocery shops, phone shops, and post offices. The Singtel hi!Tourist SIM Card costs $15 USD for 100GB of local data for 7 days.

You can pick up tourist SIM cards at kiosks in most airports, or at anywhere that sells top up (such as electronics stores). Maxis and Celcom are the most popular service providers. The Hotlink SIM card from Maxis costs 10MYR (£1.85) for the sim card, and you can buy 1.5GB of data for 7 days at a further 10MYR.

How to Travel from Singapore to Vietnam by Train

You can buy a SIM card at the 7Eleven shops (which are everywhere). The main networks are dtac, AIS and TrueMove. You can pick up at AIS card for about 50 bhat (£1.20), and you can buy about 3GB of data for around 400 bhat (£9.60).

I was able to buy a local Sim card at the little shop in the waiting area for the free shuttle bus to the bus station. They let me pay in Thai bhat, and it cost 200THB for a SIM with unlimited data. Metfone is the largest network provider; you can purchase prepaid SIM cards for $1-$2 in official stores.

Vinaphone and Viettel are the two biggest networks with the best coverage. A Vinaphone tourist SIM 30 day package with 5GB costs 100,000 VND (£3.30). Be sure to pick yours up at an official store, as unlicensed SIM cards are unregistered and will likely not work.

25 thoughts on “How to Travel from Singapore to Vietnam by Train”

I was eagerly waiting this post and I’m not disappointed! This has everything I wanted to know for the planning of almost the exact same journey. We will probably spend longer in a few places and do more excursions but you have covered so much I was going to have to spend hours researching! I need to be in Singapore for April 23 (my 60th) so do you think it better to do this in reverse meaning travel through Vietnam and Cambodia would be March and not May? I’m not great on buses though- I get a bit travel sick. Were they awful? The river option sounds a good way out of this when possible. Anyway thanks for this. I’m sharing it with my husband so he can read it too!

he bus from Phnomh Penh to HCMC was pretty bad because I booked the cheapest one. There’s a more expensive company called Giant Ibis which had much more modern, comfy looking buses – book that if you can. It’s a longjourney but they stop at the border, and again for food, so it’s not awful. Between Siem Reap and Phnom Penh I paid extra for the “express” minibus, which is a van rather than a coach – faster and more comfy. You can also book shared or even private taxi transfers which aren’t too expensive in the grand scheme of things.

Direction-wise, I’m not sure. Since Singapore is the whole point of your trip, it might be more fun to save it till the end and finish there! The rainy seasons in most of SE Asia tends to mean short, heavy showers and hot weather. So I’m never put off by rainy season, and travel is often cheaper, but it’s really down to preferance. Singapore is a great final stop because it’s probably the most modern/westernised country – which is nice after a few weeks of travel. But of course it’s also the most expensive country, so if you didn’t budget well during your trip you might be out of money by the time you get there!! So to sum up – either direction would work I think. Sorry that’s not the most helpful answer!!

So glad you found the post helpful. And honestly, anything you want to ask just give me a shout. If I have the experience I’ll be happy to share it!

Thanks that’s really helpful. I will enjoy the next year of planning and will be back if I have any more questions!

Babe this trip sounds INSANE!!! I’d absolutely love to visit Vietnam and WOW what a way to travel – looks and sounds so idyllic!

Hayley xo http://www.frockmeimfamous.com

Haha it was seriously epic! I spent SO MUCH time on trains but weirdly I loved that part of it the most. Such a nice way to see the country. Definitely had a lot of misshaps along the way but overall it was just the most incredible journey! xxx

Emily, this is honestly one of the most informative blogs I have read in a long time. I spent most of my time in South East Asia on a motorbike, simpy because i love the wind in my hair. However, next year i am going back with a group of friends who dont like the idea of motorbikes, so i have been looking for an alternative option that doesnt involve sweaty, bumpy buses.

Thanks to you, i think ive found it :). I like to take things closely, so i think we will spend around 2 motnhs doing this, but it is amazing knowing how easy trains can be in South East Asia. I spend nearly 3 years over that part of the world and never knew until now haha

Thank you again!

Thanks so much for reading George :) I’m so glad to hear it’s useful, I took notes throughout the whole journey and I really wanted to put together a helpful post!! Hope your trip goes well – this is such a great way to travel across SE Asia. I loved it!

This is a really great trip! Thank you for this complete article. Really love Thailand, but could not make it Yet to Singapour, and it is definitely my next target! :)

Thanks so much for reading! I hope you make it to Singapore soon!

Hello, thanks for sharing your experience, I would like to ask you how much money did you spend?

Hi Siyid! Great question – I’ve been meaning to add it all up for a while now. I will do so, and then let you know (and update the post)!

Hi, My name is Ram. Really appreciate your efforts for posting this blog. Its really really very helpful for me to plan the same. I need your suggestion and opinion too. > I am from Mumbai, India. And willing to travel the same route you mentioned. Can you please tell how I should plan? How much it cost? Which all places I need VISA and how to get it? You can reply me on my mail ID too.( [email protected] )

Once again Thank you .

Hi Ram! Thanks so much for commenting, I’m so pleased you’re planning on taking the same trip. I feel like a lot of these questions were answered in the blog post so please give it another read for more info, but here goes.

To plan – you can check train times and book tickets online using the links I included in the “How to Book” section of this post. This will also show you the costs of the train tickets. How much you spend on everything else depends on what kind of traveller you are, if you want dorm rooms or privates etc. You can shop around using booking.com or similar to find hotel/hostel room rates for each place you stop.

As for visa’s, I only know the answer for British citizens. I suggest you do a search on google to see what the visa requirements are for each country you plan to visit.

Hope that helps, and thanks again for reading!

Hi Emily..my wife and I are lates 60’s in good health etc..whats your thoughts on young olders doing this..Greg

Hi Greg! I really don’t think you’d have any problems. As long as you’re able to carry your own bags and don’t mind the odd bit of discomfort. Most of the trains are pretty comfy, and you’ll probably only have to get your luggage from the taxi to the train anyway. It’s certainly not an adventure that’s just for backpacking teens so don’t worry :) Although you might want to book bottom bunks on any overnight trains to avoid using the ladders.

I also have a video of the whole journey which you can watch to get a better idea of what each of the trains are like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1B2W1wY7_Q

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Emily, thank-you for all the excellent information, it helped us to realise that it would be more sensible to do parts of our journey from SIngapore to HCMC other than by train. Keep blogging!

Thanks so much Heather! You can do MOST of it by train but definitely some bits are easier or can only be done by bus. When are you off on this trip?

July/August/September 2020.

Aahhhh so excited for you!!

Really nice to read and informative post.

Thanks – I’m glad you found it helpful :)

I am headed to SE Asia with my wife and 11 year old daughter in the fall of 2022. We are sure we will reference your awesome information over the next few months as we head off on this fabulous trip. Thanks a ton!!

Oh wow that sounds like the trip of a lifetime! Enjoy!

Hi Emily, I would like to thank you for this article. My boyfriend and I will do a trip very similar to yours in September 2023, for a bit more than a month so we add some destinations (2 islands in Thaïland, Cameron Highlands and Malacca in Malaysia and Kampot in Cambodia). We will first spend almost a month in Vietnam, then do it the other way, from Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh) to Singapour. Your article really helped us to plan everything, to choose the destinations and to understand why we can’t find some trains online (when we can only buy it there). Thank you so much ! Can’t wait for that travel

Hi Clémentine! I’m so happy it helped :) What a fantastic trip, I’m very jealous, sounds like you’ll have an amazing time. A month in Vietnam will be wonderful, so much to see and do there. Have the BEST time :) :) :)
