3/ Transportations:

There are some commom questions : How far from Tra Vinh City to Rach Gia, bus from Tra Vinh to Rach Gia City, Bus from Rach Gia City to Ha Tien... and so on..

If you are going to Rach Gia City, you need to take two buses: The first one to get to Can Tho City, from there, you will take another bus to Rach Gia city.

If you are going to Ha Tien from Rach Gia City, you just simply go to Rach Gia station and buy a ticket to Ha Tien which takes about 1 hour to get to Ha Tien. As we mentioned before that you should only take Phuong Trang or Mai Linh.

It depends on whether you are going on holiday seasons or not. If you are going there on holliday seasons, you'd better book your hotel in advance. If not, It's impossible to find a room to stay.

My answer is, definately no, you can't find a seat in holiday season to Phu Quoc island.

Can I buy the ferry tickets online?

for some reasons, their don't save ticket online so you can't buy online. So you'd better join a travel agent then they can help you to buy your tickets before your arrival.
