Hey all,

I'm trying to find a private driver that can go from BKK to Ho Chi Minh.  Any ideas?  Public bus isn't an option. 

Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

The query seeks advice on finding a private driver for a road trip from Bangkok (BKK) to Ho Chi Minh City, with users suggesting that the journey would take at least 17 hours, involve lengthy border crossings, and possibly require an overnight stop. The discussion also briefly touches on the idea of taking a flight as a faster alternative and raises questions about international shipping options for transporting items.
