Getting Around Chon Thanh
Bus drops you at the market in town, then take a xe ôm (motorbike taxi) to KCN Chơn Thành – about 10,000 VND extra. Expect bumpy roads.
Use Grab app for fixed pricing and avoid haggling. Flag down a metered taxi for a slightly cheaper fare but confirm the meter is on.
Book via grabcar or local services like Mai Linh. Best for groups or luggage. Drivers know the exact gate at KCN – mention 'Cty Megatech, Lô B3' to avoid confusion.
Only for the first leg – you need to transfer at Bến xe Miền Đông to a local bus heading north towards Chơn Thành. Uncomfortable but dirt cheap.
