[edit] Get in

Buses and minibuses connect Rach Gia and Can Tho (3 hrs), Long Xuyen (1.5 hrs), and Ho Chi Minh City (7 hrs). There are flights on Vietnam Airlines to and from Phu Quoc and Ho Chi Minh City (both under 1hr). There are ferries (8 hrs) and hydrofoils (2.5 hrs) to An Thoi on Phu Quoc.

From the Cambodian border, motos can be hired to Ha Tien, from where buses connect to Rach Gia. The green mini-buses are faster as they do not stop to collect passengers along the way. If these are full, the marginally-cheaper local bus also plies the route. It is best to wait for the bus in one of the cafes on the road leading out of the bus station, since the bus will crawl out of the bus station at the scheduled departure time, but take 10-15 minutes to reach the main road as it tries to drum up more passengers.
