Quatar Airlines' Boing 777 from Bangkok to Ho Chi Minh City smelled new. First not-full plane we've been on. Quick trip, just over an hour.
To travel within Vietnam, need a Visa. Although the guidebook says "Visa on arrival," in truth the paperwork needs pre-approval. Jim found all this online, and the pre-approval was emailed to us to print out. We got our passport-type photos ahead of time, too, which turned out to be very helpful but not essential, as someone in the Ho Chi Minh airport visa office took photos for a fee. The visa fee is paid there, in US Dollars or Euro only. $25 for a singe-entrance, $50 for multiple entrance.
The driver from Forest Floor Lodge meets us outside baggage claim. We drive through the city and on to Cat Tien Nat'l Park and Forest Floor Lodge, 4 hour drive. We arrive at dark night, eat, and fall into bed in our cabin-tent.
