We got a new coach service from Kep in Cambodia over the boarder to Ha Tien in Vietnam with little fuss (we'd already got our visas) and got straight on a local bus north to a little town called Chau Doc.

Hi Nadine Once in Ha Tien, we asked some local moto drivers to take us to the bus station catch the afternoon bus to Chau Doc. On our way there, the moto drivers saw the Chau Doc bus so flagged it down. The moto journey cost us $1 (probably too much but we didn't have any Dong!) and the bus cost us $3 (roughly). Safe travels Holly
