Buses travel regularly between Siem Reap and Phnom Penh, a journey that takes roughly 4 1/2 hours. About half way along the coach stops a road side cafe for light refreshments.
It is always nice to chat with fellow passengers. On this particular journey I spoke to a traveller who was a police man from New Zealand.

Lan ti kroung is definately better than riding in a cramp car from siem reap to phnom penh.
there KFC or MCD?
Wonderful quality, what is the model camcorder you used? Thanks
@rogerparis I currently use a Canon HG20 camcorder
is that stretch of road paved ?
do all buses have guides who speak english ?
@chong890 Yes, except for the odd bumpy bridge the ride is very smooth.
On all the coaches I've traveled on in Cambodia the guides have spoken English.
@bondy5456 I think they meant it as a joke.
I just came back from visiting Cambodia after I left her 31 years ago.
It was my first trip after 31 years I left Cambodia. I just came back to the state a week ago. It was magnificent to see Angkor Wat for the first time in my life. As a matter of fact, Siem Reap has the most foreigners more than any other provinces in Cambodia. I came back home with lots of good memories with me. A choice of transportation that I used to go visiting Angkor Wat and around town was Tuk Tuk. There was a night market that opened late and lots of foods and lights in the city. Love SR
Very helpful. My hubby and I intend to travel frm Siem Reap to Phnom Penh by bus. TQVM. Jane
4,5 hours? Lucky guy 🙂 … Took me about 6 to 7 … You never know when then bus breaks down in cambodia ^^ I've been at exactly the same restaurant, where the bust stops. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
อยากไปเที่ยวบ้างจังเลย
Well its not exactly like the German autobahns lets put it that way.
What bus did you took?
ចាក់ក្រួសធ្វើថ្លល់
It looks like they had dumped gravel on the side of the road for future pavement. That's why the traffic could not pass each other. You'd think they would have scooted it over so the traffic could pass more freely or at least have a flag person at each end of the bottleneck with the traffic going one-way in each direction but no, this is Asia.
Hello Goorney ! How much was the bus ?

This is an old video. The roads between Phnom Penh and Siem Reap is much, much, much better. All new paved highways. The buses are also newer.
I made the same trip 3 days ago. the highway was perfect.
