Doesn’t show it on the maps but there’s a big wide spot on the road (under where that big arch thing is) which gives heaps of space for people to pull over. Had a Phnom Penh sign (in Khmer) which didn’t help. As soon as I wrote one for Mộc Bài I got picked up in about a minute. Most people will drive you to the border if they’re going that wayrating: 5/5, wait: 8 min 🪧, ride: 33 km ←

I wasn’t picked up here but we stopped for lunch (with a truck that had already got me) and I scoped it out and it’s a solid spot for both directions. Not sure why anyone would be around here as there is a better one closer to Hue but if you walk around with a sign or just signal you’ll get somethingrating: 4/5

There’s a good spot for hitching after the lights but busses do regularly stop there. I had a few nice locals offer me lunch and then (after I explained to them) they explained to a bus driver and got me a free lift to ninh binh. Just got lucky but it is a good spot.rating: 5/5, wait: 10 min 🪧, ride: 42 km ↓

Super good spot. I think it’s technically more legal as it’s not on the highway yet. The cars have to go round a sharp corner to get onto the road so you can catch them when they’re slow. Have a sign for ninh binh and a good smilerating: 5/5, wait: 15 min 🪧, ride: 60 km ↓

Good spot to grab someone as they come down the hill and slow for the roundabout. These trucks/cars are aiming for the main highway (CT01) down to Vinh. I had a Vinh sign and got lucky with a truck heading right down to Saigon.rating: 5/5, wait: 30 min 🪧, ride: 1313 km ↓

If staying on An Binh island, good spot to go to HCMC or other Mekong delta city. Found a direct ride in 5min, lots of scooters but enough cars. Bus station near by with super cheap buses if it fails ! Reached it by moto-taxi.rating: 4/5, wait: 5 min 🪧, ride: 49 km →

We took the public bus from Pleiku to here. The price was 60k, probably should be 2 times less, ask beforehand. Not many motorbikes here, easy to break a driver. The traffic is quite low. We got a direct ride to Buon Ma Thuot in 10 min.rating: 5/5, wait: 10 min, ride: 118 km ↓

A lot of trucks going all the way to Vietnam, if you’re lucky you’ll find a two-days ride to Hanoi (maybe a bit longer). If not still a great spot, there’s a grocery and a tires repairer so lots of people will stoprating: 5/5, wait: 20 min
