It saves time at the airport and was worth it. Visit the site below in the contacts area. It is easy. All you need to do is scan in a passport photo (new ones--not the one in your passport) and follow the online instructions. (Make sure your photo is cropped to the 2"x2" size. The website is sometimes VERY slow--just be patient!

SAIGON TO SIEM REAP RETURNMy bus journey to Siem Reap was booked in HCMC (Saigon) return with Mailinh Express Bus lines ..They have offices everywhere in the city .I booked mine in the backpack are of Pham Ngu Lao..My ticket was from Saigon to the capital Phnom Penh (Where I stayed four days) then onto Siem Reap and return to HCMC (Saigon)
The different busses were comfortable , rather new and the driver had nerves of steel..they also give you water, bus services either way are frequent..The return ticket was US$30.00..really good value as is a roundtrip of about 1200 klms.

Most intra asia fares used to be that high until Budget Airlines started flying, right now there is a sale going on in Malaysia whereby for 306 usd you could visit two or three countries.
www.airasia.com is the best choice for cheap prices. try also malaysian airlines. you may have to take a budget airline through a third country such as malaysia or singapour to get a cheaper fare..if you are including vietnam on this trip, it would be good to look into fares to vietnam from bangkok.

Either to take a boat from Siem Reap to Phnom Phan or a reversed way is highly recommended as it provides a different way (if you get tired with plane, train and bus) to explore the local life occurred on the bank side and enjoy the beautiful river sceneries.
Every guesthouse sells the boat cruising ticket at $6 only.

As I had only one day to explore Angkor temples, I have decided to rent a motorbike with guide. The driver, Chean, wasn't a tourist guide, but he made a good introduction to the temples. Certainly I had additional information.
I have found this driver a good and honest person, so I recommend him a lot.
Fare for a whole day: 7 USD.

There is an organized taxi service from the Tourist Transport Association (air conditioned cars) to Siem Reap town. They charge 7 US dollars to any hotel.
They of course provide as well transportation for sightseeing around the Angkor area:
30 $ for a whole day (4 people)
35$ for a Minibus (12 seats)
The driver will give you all the information and wants to schedule something.
This service is of course much more expensive than taking a Tuktuk.

We flew from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap with Siem Reap Airways who are owned by Bangkok Airways.
The cost was US$75 one way and takes 50 minutes.
I was a bit wary about this flight as I have never been on a plane like this before.
Well it was probably one of the smoothest flights ever, no problems at all, I actually enjoyed it!

We really enjoyed the bus trip from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh.
Cost then was $9 per ticket.
Mekong Express buses are clean, have a toilet, television set (with Mr Bean playing!) and a guide who points out interesting facts along the way.
You are also supplied with a bottle of water and a snack pak with 3 delicious pastries.
The bus leaves Siem Reap at 8am and arrives in Phnom Penh about 5 hours later.
(Back in 1992 when Gary did this trip he drove there and the drive one way took one and a half days due to the shocking condition of the roads!!).
Apparently Mekong Express drivers have a reputation for being safe and our driver was great, no close calls at all. (Well not close for Cambodia!!).
There is a 30 - 40 minute break at Kompong Thom right opposie Arunas Restaurant.
So go for a walk and stretch your legs, have a look around, buy a drink, or maybe a snack of fried tarantulas.
We have friends who have done this trip before and they suggested we book 2 seats each so we could stretch out a bit.
Great advise, but we sure got some funny looks!! But it was lovely not being squashed up next to someone and because we had paid for 2 seats each we both were given 2 snack pacs and 2 drinks each.
The camera came out a lot on this bus trip as each truck we saw seemed to be loaded higher and higher.
Highly recommend doing the bus trip at least one way!!

We loved being with Marom, he is the nicest man, speaks good English, he is full of good information and was such a great help to us.
Plus he has the cleanest tuk-tuk in Siem Reap!
Another reason we liked being with Marom is not once did he try to pressure us to go to various shops etc so he could get petrol vouchers, commissions etc.
He was there for us and that was it.
He does not rush you and he is a very safe driver, we felt extremely comfortable with him at all times.
We gave Marom $40 for the 3 days and the morning we left, which was the fourth day, there he was at 8am in the morning out the front of the hotel to take us to the bus station at no charge. (We had not booked him to do this)
So if you are looking for one of the nicest, safest, friendliest tuk-tuk drivers in Siem Reap contact Marom at:
emailmarom@yahoo.com
or call him on:
(855)12994285
He checks his emails quite regularly so it should not be long before you hear back from him!
Current rates as of December 2008:
Day Rates for Marom's tuk-tuk which seats 2 comfortably are:
Angkor Archaeological Park $15
Banteay Srey $22
Kbal Spean $30
Beng Mealear $35

4 - 6 people $90
Kompong Khleang
