EVERYWHERE HERE BY MAILINH BUSSES.

by DennyP

CAMBODIA To get to Cambodia I got the bus from Saigon and I always used the bus then to get from city to city..When in the cities I either walked, hired a bicycle, or a "Moto". These were my forms of transport and found all to be reliable and inexpensive. I must say the busses were extremely comfortable on the long trips ie: Saigon - Phnomn Penh, Phnomn Penh - Siem Reap, Siem Reap - Phnomn Penh and Phnomn Penh to Saigon. The bus stations were located in the centre of the city and handy to all the accomodation that I had organised...Also when I got off the bus I hired a "MOTO". The transport was just a breeze. I obtained my visa at the border. BUS STATION. Location in Siem Reap is behind the City River Hotel

Getting to and from Siem Reap.

by worldkiwi

I flew from Bangkok to Siem Reap on Bangkok Airlines.Be aware that upon leaving Siem Reap, there is a pretty hefty US$50 departure tax, that is not included in tickets!Visas can be purchased upon arrival at Siem Reap's modern little airport.

Mekong Express - 1st Class Boat Service

by ngsway

We are lucky to be able to travel with this new Boat service that operates route from Siem Reap to Phnom Pehn and vice versa. It currently offered an unbelievable USD15 fare. With these price, the service are 1st class, with luggage check in, air condition, large comfortable seats, free flow of beverages, lunch, english movie on large screen TV, pillow, blanket, etc-etc.... If I'm not mistaken, it's operated by a japanese company. It feels more like travelling on a plane than on a boat even complete with a smilling and helpful 'boat-hostess' . You have to plan your trip though, as the boat will operate on alternate days....Update Nov 2003: My aunt just came back from her Cambodia trip and according to her, the USD15 fare promotion is off now. The current fare is USD30 one way.

Avoiding Thai-scam and visa rip-off at Poipet bord

by mariayoshiko

I didn't enter Cambodia this way, but apparently the bus from Bangkok to the border is a scam itself, they will charge you more for the visa and practically force you to head to the TOURIST LOUNGE, from where you take overpriced buses that get you o Siem Reap very late to help tuk tuk drivers charge you a lot of money...Unfortunately, there is very little you can do because tuk tuk drivers are the only option to get to the city, and yes, the BUS STATION is very far from the city center! They seem to have done it on purpose!The best way to come from Thailand is to take the 5.50am bus to get to the border at around noon and take a SHARED taxi to a place called Sisophone I think, and from there there is cheaper and direct transportation to Siem Reap...Unfortunately, I think for Cambodia everybody has a different experience...so that's what I found out...I entered from Laos and there was a...

Overnight Bus from Siem Reap to Sihanoukville

by rhino1975

Two options1) Paramount Angkor: USD152) Virak Buntham: USD17We took Virak Buntham, as it advertised itself to be a luxury bus. Honestly, nothing luxurious about it except that it has a toilet in the bus. The toilet was relatively spotless and they did clean it up halfway through the journey.You can get the tickets at any of the travel agents in Siem Reap. Most of the guesthouses will be able to assist in purchasing the ticket. TIP: If you opt for the Virak Buntham bus, please ask for seat no 21-25. The seats are the closest to the bus toilet and have extra leg space for additional comfort. Further, try not to get the seats at the back.The bus we boarded was a 36 seater. It was sufficiently comfortable and blankets were provided. My only complaint was that halfway through the journey, the driver started to switch off the air-conditioned system for a duration of 15-20 minutes before he...

LUCKY! LUCKY! RENT MOTORCYCLE SHOPPHONM PHEN CAMBODIAWe rent 2 bikes for 8 days, candles didn't work, no motor oil, electricity cables were really bad, and they told us everything was checked and perfect wprking. 8 days later they asked us 30 dollars each because we broke a small turn light. Even if we payd more than 100$ to fix up our motorbikes during the trip... Bad service, BAD bikes, BAD staff working there.

Cambodia Angkor Airlines

by seagypsy

There is a new national Cambodian carrier called Cambodia Angkor Air and they should offer the HCMC-Siem Reap route as well as the HCMC--Phnom Penh route. They are owned by Cambodia and Vietnam Airlines and began service only a few months ago.http://www.cambodiaangkorair.com/default.aspx?tabid=98 I'm not 100% certain but believe Siem Reap Airways, which was a subsidiary of Bangkok Airways had shut down last year.

Mekong Express Limousine bus

by piglet44

We enjoyed travelling on the Mekong Express bus from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh.It was a very comfortable air conditioned bus.We were given a packed snack and bottle of water and there is a very clean toilet on the bus.The 'hostess" points out interesting things en route, and the trip takes about 6 hours including a stop for lunch.The trip costs $12 and our guide got the tickets for us .there is a minibus that picks the passengers up from their hotels and takes you to the bus station.
