Answer 1

With only nine days and the bad road conditions, you'll spend a lot of time in busses if you opt for the cheapest possible.

I suggest you to fly from HCMC to Cambodia and then bus to Thailand. At Seam Reap you'll meet plenty of other backpackers. Form a group.

Answer 2

I will second African Farmer on this. Otherwise you will not get home in time!
