What a way to travel! I took the boat from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh. Booked the ticket at my guesthouse the day before and a driver picked me up and dropped me in downtown Siem Reap. From there we loaded onto a small bus for a 20 minute ride to the boat dock. THen it’s an easy 5-6 hours on the boat motoring down rivers and across the Tonle Sap. Most of the journey can be spent on top of the boat and beers are available for $2! Amazing way to travel and see life on the river. It does cost about 3x as much as the bus – i believe i paid $32.

  1. I love the boat ride to and from Siem Reap. I was on one back in 2001 and, in those days, the trip by car would have taken so much longer since the road was still under construction. The top of the boat is the best seat in the house. Thank you for sharing your video.

  2. few questions:
    1. where to buy the ticket from phnom penh to siem reap?
    2. how much?
    3. how long?
