邊境地區自有一種詩意。它們不屬於此處,也不屬於彼處,而是一個懸停的空間,語言、貨幣與景觀在此交融成獨特的樣貌。Prek Chak 邊境口岸橫跨越南陽光炙熱的堅江省與柬埔寨蒼翠、胡椒香氣四溢的貢布省,正是這樣一座門檻。這不是一條被卡車堵塞的混亂走廊,而是一個相對寧靜、充滿在地氣息的跨境點,連結著湄公河三角洲與富國島的翠綠島嶼,以及 Kep 與貢布逐漸褪色的殖民魅力。對於想要將越南南部與柬埔寨無縫串聯、卻又避開長途航班那種乏味效率的旅人來說,Prek Chak 邊境不僅是後勤上的必要關口,更是一個敘事工具。這份全面指南以精準的態度與對這片寧靜沿海邊境的深厚喜愛,帶領你走過從越南進入柬埔寨的每一處細節——簽證、交通、徒步跨越友誼大橋的逐步過程,以及兩側等待你的文化珍寶。

越南側:河仙(舊名「Xa Xia」)國際邊境口岸(亦稱河仙陸港),位於堅江省河仙市。
柬埔寨側:Prek Chak 國際邊境口岸,位於貢布省洛村(Lork Village)。
開放時間:每日上午 7:00 至下午 6:00(印度支那時間)。請注意:雖然部分主要邊境口岸開放至晚上 8:00,但 Xa Xia 通常在日落前就停止處理國際旅客的通關手續。請務必在出發前 24 小時與當地業者確認。
通關類型:完全國際口岸(持有效證件的各國護照持有人皆可使用)。
行人通行:可以——兩座移民大廳之間的轉換僅需短暫步行,通常可徒步或經由簡短接駁完成。
邊境的通行性取決於你的文件。這一部分決定旅程的成敗,需要你全神貫注。只要做好準備,兩邊的規定都相當明確。

The road to this southern frontier is a passage through the Mekong Delta’s amphibious heart—a land of rice paddies, coconut groves, and boats that serve as trucks. Depending on your point of departure, you have several graceful options.
The distance from Ho Chi Minh City to the Ha Tien border gate is approximately 300–320 kilometres, depending on the route taken via National Highway 1A and the coastal road through Rach Gia. Travel time varies with road conditions and traffic, but the new expressway sections have shortened the journey considerably.
VIP Limousine Vans / Sleeper Buses: This is the most popular option for comfort and cost. Companies like Phuong Trang (FUTA Buslines), Kumho Samco, and a host of boutique limousine operators run frequent services from Ho Chi Minh City to Ha Tien, often departing in the early morning or late evening. A sleeper berth costs between $11-17 USD, while a VIP limousine seat (an oversized reclining chair with USB and Wi-Fi) ranges from $15-19 USD. The journey takes 7–8 hours, with a scheduled rest stop. Most buses will drop you at the Ha Tien bus station; from there, a 10-minute taxi or Grab ($3-4 USD) deposits you at the border gate.
Private Car: For small groups, families, or anyone who values a tailored departure time, a private car is a sanctuary. A 4-seater sedan from Ho Chi Minh City to the border gate costs $150–170 USD; a 7-seater SUV runs $160–175 USD. The drive is a comfortable 6–7 hours with the flexibility to pause at a delta village for coconut water or a steaming bowl of hủ tiếu. The car drops you at the very doorstep of the Vietnamese immigration hall.

Motorbike: For the steel-willed wanderer, the delta roads offer a sensory feast. The ride via Highway 1A to My Tho, then branching south towards Rach Gia and Ha Tien, is roughly 300 km and can be accomplished in a day of concentrated riding. Rental of a 150cc bike costs $15–20 USD/day. However, crossing an international border with a rented Vietnamese motorbike requires written permission from the rental agency, a valid registration card, and—critically—a Carnet de Passage or the bike must be approved for temporary import into Cambodia, which is bureaucratic. Most riders leave the bike in Ha Tien and cross on foot, renting a new bike in Cambodia.
There is no train service to Ha Tien. The railway ends at Rach Gia, a further 2.5-hour drive away, therefore, choosing to travel by train is not an option we recommend.
There is a comparison table between different vehicles to help you make an informed choice based on your needs.
| Option | Duration | Approx. Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sleeper Bus | 7.5–8 hrs | $10–15 USD | Drops at Ha Tien station, then short taxi |
| VIP Limousine Van | 7–8 hrs | $14–18 USD | Door-to-door from Saigon, comfortable |
| Private Car | 6–7 hrs | $150–170 USD | Direct to border gate, flexible stops |
| Motorbike | 8–10 hrs riding | $15–20 USD/day rental + fuel | Requires paperwork for crossing |
Many travellers combine a stay on Phu Quoc’s white-sand beaches with a crossing into Cambodia. This is an inspired idea. Phu Quoc is connected to Ha Tien by a fleet of modern express ferries and hydrofoils that rac
e across the Gulf of Thailand in 1 hour and 30 minutes. Operators like Superdong, Phu Quoc Express, and Thanh Thoi offer 5–7 daily departures, with tickets ranging from $12–16 USD per person.Once docked at Ha Tien’s ferry terminal, the border gate is an 8kme, 15-minute taxi or Grab ride costing $3–3–4 USD. Conversely, if you arrive early, you can linger over a seafood breakfast in Ha Tien’s central market before heading to the crossing. The total door-to-island-resort-to-border time is roughly 2.5 to 3 hours, making this one of the most scenic and seamless multi-country connections in Southeast Asia.
If you are travelling in reverse, the approach is delightfully simple. From Kampot town, it is 35 kilometres to the Prek Chak gate; from Kep, a mere 20 kilometres. A hired tuk-tuk costs $10–15 and takes 30–45 minutes. Taxis are air-conditioned and priced around $20. The road is scenic, passing through durian orchards and salt pans, and it deposits you at the Cambodian immigration complex.

Your border-crossing ballet begins at the imposing, cream-coloured Ha Tien International Border Gate complex on the Vietnamese side. The following choreography assumes a Vietnam-to-Cambodia journey, but the reverse is the mirror image.
Step 1: Clear Vietnam Exit. Enter the Departures hall and present your passport to the uniformed officer at the immigration counter. If you used an e-visa, hand over the printed copy alongside your passport. The officer will verify your details, scan your documents, and stamp you out. This is typically swift and silent, taking under two minutes. Declare if you are carrying cash exceeding USD 5,000 or the equivalent in foreign currency, or over VND 15 million, using the customs declaration form provided.
Step 2: Walk the Friendship Bridge. Exiting the Vietnamese hall, you step into the open air and follow the paved path across a low, functional bridge over the Giang Thanh canal. The walk is less than 200 metres. Halfway across, a painted line and a sign mark the exact frontier. This is the moment—one foot in Vietnam, one foot soon to be in Cambodia. On a clear day, you can see the Cardamom Mountains shimmering in the distance.
Step 3: Enter Cambodia. On the Cambodian side, enter the Prek Chak immigration hall. If you hold an e-visa, join the dedicated lane (often shorter) and present your passport with the printed e-visa. If you need a visa on arrival, proceed to the Visa on Arrival counter, fill out the form, submit your photo and $30, and wait for your passport to be returned with the full-page visa sticker. Both lanes then process you through immigration: you will have your fingerprints scanned and a photograph taken. This is standard and takes 5–15 minutes.
Step 4: Customs Declaration and Exit. Collect your stamped passport, ensure the entry date is correct, and walk through the baggage scanner. You are now legally in Cambodia. Immediately outside the gate, a small market of tuk-tuk drivers, money changers, and SIM card vendors awaits. A local SIM card with generous data costs $2–3USD can be obtained from a money changer or, better, withdrawn in Kampot.
The immediate area around the border is a gateway to two profoundly beautiful regions, each offering a different flavour of Indochina.
To dismiss Ha Tien as merely a transit point is to abandon a deep, tranquil charm to the purgatory of 「not yet there.」 This coastal town, cradled between limestone karsts and the Gulf of Thailand, rewards an overnight stay. Rise early and walk the waterfront promenade as the sun ignites the white façade of the Mac Cuu Temple, dedicated to the Chinese general who founded the settlement in the 18th century. A short motorbike ride outside town brings you to Thach Dong cave, a limestone grotto with a Buddhist shrine and a harrowing, vertical shaft known as the「天井。」

河仙夜市規模不大,卻充滿濃厚在地氣息,琳瑯滿目的海鮮菜餚令人垂涎。一定要試試bún kèn——這道散發魚香與椰香的咖哩米粉湯,正是河仙的招牌美食。想吃得更豐盛,沿著楊林山路的海鮮餐廳提供螃蟹、田螺和烤魷魚,全是幾小時前才從海裡撈起的鮮貨。若有時間,搭15分鐘計程車即可抵達梅奈海灘——這片靜謐的月牙沙灘旁環繞著木麻黃樹,非常適合在越過柬埔寨邊境前,欣賞最後一場越南夕陽。

當護照蓋上章,貢布省便在你眼前緩緩展開,像一抹慵懶而誘人的微笑。多數旅人首先前往白馬,距離邊境僅20公里。這裡的螃蟹市場是美食愛好者的朝聖地。水上的木造小屋供應貢布青椒炒蟹——整隻螃蟹與新鮮芳香的花椒快炒,上桌時還在滋滋作響。這道料理與在地風土緊密連結,單是為了它,整趟旅程就已值得。

再往內陸25公里的貢布市,是一座慵懶的河畔小鎮,斑駁的法式殖民店鋪如今變身藝廊、生態咖啡館與民宿。租輛腳踏車沿著布拉克楚河騎行,穿越鹽田與榴槤園。最經典的一日遊是波哥國家公園——這座涼爽的山間避暑地,一座廢棄的法式教堂與賭場籠罩在迷霧中,俯瞰蓊鬱森林直落大海。這裡瀰漫著超現實而憂鬱的美感,而且距離邊境僅不到一小時車程。

對於繼續西行的旅人而言,從西哈努克市或金邊出發的高速鐵路目前尚未開通;但從貢布出發的巴士與私人計程車,可在3–4小時內抵達首都,或經由西哈努克市在兩小時內到達龍島群島。
想要氣定神閒地通過波雷察關卡,請牢記以下幾點。
下午3點前過關。雖然邊境大門在越南時間下午5點關閉,但提早過關能確保有充裕時間排隊,並——關鍵是——在天黑前抵達貢布或白馬,避免後續交通更難找。
所有文件列印出來。邊境的Wi-Fi不穩。請隨身攜帶越南電子簽證、柬埔寨電子簽證及飯店訂房證明紙本。兩邊的官員都偏好紙本文件。
攜帶小額美金鈔票。美元是柬埔寨的實際流通貨幣。全新平整的1、2、5、10美元鈔票最適合用來支付簽證費、嘟嘟車車資,以及第一碗螃蟹。破損或有記號的鈔票常被拒收。
當心落地簽的「簽證附加費」。若在抵達時辦理柬埔寨落地簽,對方可能開價35美元而非30美元。請有禮地堅持官方價格,或準備好零錢與一張照片以減少麻煩。電子簽證則能輕鬆避開這場戲碼。
健康與檢疫。截至2026年,此陸路口岸無需例行填寫健康申報表,但規定可能隨時改變。過關前72小時,請查閱柬埔寨衛生部官網或所屬國大使館頁面的最新公告。
天氣與行李打包。三角洲與沿海地區終年炎熱潮濕。穿著輕薄透氣的衣物。過橋的短程步行會暴露在陽光下,請攜帶帽子與水。
電力與網路。充滿電的
行動電源是必備品。雖然柬埔寨不像中國封鎖網路,但連線可能不穩定。請下載離線地圖,並儲存您在貢布(Kampot)的飯店地址。柬埔寨SIM卡很便宜,最好在入境大廳外購買。
絕對不要弄丟您的離境卡。越南對部分國籍旅客仍使用紙本離境卡。請立即將其收進護照內。在邊境補辦一張既耗時又麻煩且費用不低。
