Very good transport

Best company in Cambodia and very professional. The bus leaves on time, the staff is very kind and helpful, informs about all the details while crossing the border and speaks English well. There were snacks and water provided on the bus, and the night buses have pillows and blankets. They even found a small device that I left on the bus and returned it to me! I will definitely use again.

Giant Ibis gave a very good service overall. Bus departed on time. The only complaint would be that the AC was broken. So we had to drive with the windows open.

We've travelled in the night bus from siem reap to Kampot and from Kampot to Phnom Penh. Both times the bus was on time, the staff super friendly and the service outstanding. For us the beds were too hard and too short (I'm just 1,70 m but could feel top and bottom) but it was okay for one night. Driving also was both times very good, felt safe!

When we booked they showed a nice big bus. What we got was a small minivan. They said the big bus’s air conditioning was broken. Meanwhile the small van we had was super hot

The friendliness of the Giant Ibis staff was the best. Of course, it wasn't a reserved car... Anyway, thanks to the great handling of the Giant Ibis staff, we were able to get to our destination very comfortably, and it also helped us save time and money. If I travel on that route, I will definitely use it again. We would like to thank the staff at Giant Ibis located in Kampot.

Travelling by bus essentials

  • If you are planning to travel during the high season, weekends, or national holidays, booking your bus tickets in advance is highly recommended. The demand is at its highest, yet very often, the number of coaches serving the route remains the same. The earlier you reserve your seat, the better. On some routes, you need to secure your ticket more than a month in advance; on others, a couple-of-days advanced booking is enough. During such periods, try to book online beforehand whenever possible, as showing up at the bus station without a ticket may result in many-hours of waiting in the queue or leave you downright stranded.
  • VIP, 1st, Gold, and similar bus tickets are the most expensive option, but they provide a higher level of comfort. Normally the price of such tickets will include wide soft reclining seats, blankets, water and snacks or lunch, and sometimes some toiletries. Upper-class buses travel faster, make fewer stops during the route, and normally provide more spacious seating to their passengers and a better travel experience.
  • Not all buses have an on-board toilet, but generally, for all trips longer than three hours, all operators schedule a bathroom and/or a lunch stop. While operators definitely do their best to keep on-board toilets clean, the smell may be an issue sometimes. For longer trips, booking a seat a bit farther from the toilet may be a good idea. Also, using bathroom stops for your toilet needs is always better than trying to find your balance in an on-board toilet on the run.
  • If you travel by an air-con bus, make sure to pack layers. A hoodie, a warm scarf, or a beanie hat may prove a good idea. Air-conditioning on buses tends to be excessive, and running nose and sore throats abound after even not the longest bus rides.
  • Always use the security belts even if your bus ride attendant or driver does not insist on it. Your safety comes first – for you, for sure. All buses normally are equipped with security belts, but they may be fixed behind your seat. Take time to find the belt and fix it appropriately.
  • To avoid being disturbed by overhead lights, switched on during stops even at night, and too loud music or sound from the on-board entertainment system, have earplugs and a sleeping mask at hand.
  • As a courtesy to other passengers, avoid using strong perfumes or smelly foods. Some foods like cheeses or durians are forbidden to take on-board – check in advance. Alcohol is also prohibited on the majority of buses.
  • Note that if the bus requires refuelling en-route, passengers will be asked to get off the bus. Operators are not allowed to refuel with passengers on board due to safety reasons. Usually, it takes from 5 to 10 minutes and is often combined with a toilet/lunch stop.
  • If not stated otherwise in your tickets, arrive at the bus station 20-30 minutes before departure. It will give you enough time to find the departure platform and check-in. For international trips, you may need more time for check-in and border formalities.
