FROM Ninh Binh

Trains are an enjoyable way to travel and see a bit of the countryside. They are especially comfortable if you purchase a ticket in a soft-sleeper cabin. There are only 4 beds in the cabin so there is enough room to sit up if you prefer or to lay down. A hard-sleeper cabin does not provide enough room to sit up because there are 6 beds per room versus 4. Overnight trains are also a good choice because then you can do your travel without missing anything during the day (and you’ve got somewhere to sleep for the night)!
We recommend the following overnight trains from Ninh Binh to Dong Hoi:

Train No	Departs	Arrives
SE5	11:21	19:22
SE7	08:22	16:21
SE19	22:25	6:24
