General Tips

Cost: Prices range from $5USD to $17USD.
Time: Trip takes over 6h.

**DO NOT expect anything to be on time. If you’re on a time crunch, change your plans. Buses DO NOT run on time in Cambodia.**

-Look for a direct trip without stops.

-Try to take early AM buses as they are more likely to be on time than evening buses.

-Try to avoid the last bus of the day as sometimes these can get cancelled and be extremely late.

-Watch your bags and belongings if there are any stops.

-Try to take buses during daylight as the roads are safer.
