There is some space under the bridge where people sell some food and beverages. Not a perfect spot but good towards north like Hanoi

Good amount of truck drivers going north.

Lot of traffic, a bit on the highway so some drivers get mad

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 way

Super good spot for going both directions, few good cheap street food places to grab a bite too. Got a lift mid morning into saigon

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 something

Too many accounts. Great spot. Took an hour and a bit to walk there from the town. Have a hat

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.

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 smile

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.

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.

Petrolimex station, direct ride to HCMC in less than 10minutes

Police was there and stopped a limousine bus so we could get in, for free. Really good spot anyway to go east, lots of traffic and space to stop.

Best way to start trip from Ho Chi Minh to east. To reach this place you can use local bus 88 from city center.

Not too many cars passing (sunday) Was hoping for a lift to vinh, got to thanh hóa. Good spot in general

Good spot to get to hanoi or west, many buses and taxis though

Hitchhiked a motorbike here to Mui Ne

Very easy to hitchhike a motorbike in Vietnam to the any nearby town. I got the ride to Cat Tien

Very wide road, good spot if you are hitchhiking to Saigon

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.

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 stop

Once you cross the border from Vietnam to Laos, you probably will get stuck for a few hours! No traffic at all ! So, take water with you and some snacks! And wave your hands! I was waiting 5 hours for the first ride like 80km

Very easy to hitchhike a motorbike in Vietnam to the any nearby town. I got the ride to Cat Tien

there is no traffic towards vietnam I saw only one truck in 2 hours.

Hitchhiked to Vinh, but it was hard over Vietnam because many Bikes, Buses, Taxi going in first line and people on cars have a small chances to stop. I'm pretty lucky! July 2015 Cheers! //Yriy
