Sihanoukville to Siem Reap Destination Reviews

GT
Online booking not taken into account by the operator. Two seats already paid for were missing for the trip. 3 people crammed into small cabins of 2. And they make it clear that we're lucky to be able to take the bus. No refund. Called before with this operator to check that your online booking had been registered. I've had no problems with other companies. That's why I was really disappointed when they told me they couldn't find my reservation and that there weren't enough seats for our group.

The bus was more comfortable than expected given its small ‘double beds’ however the staff on the bus were very rude. They stopped only once for a toilet break on a 12hr journey but stopped constantly for picking up cargo. At one point I asked when the next toilet break would be and was told 5minutes followed by a lot of laughter, there was not another toilet break…

Very small and uncomfortable mattress for 2 people. Air con was too cold for the very small thin blanket they give you. Got about 3 hours sleep in total.

I don't know if I would advise it for solo travelers, I got lucky and didn't have to share the bed, but sharing that small bed with a stranger could have been a bit awkward, apart from that I would highly recommend it, on time, clean and good driver

No notification that the bus was delayed 1.5 hours until I walked up to check in. Also no note anywhere saying that it was a normal bus with seats for the first half and then we had a layover in PO for 30min before our bus with beds arrived.

Overall a really good experience. The bus trip was well organised and the staff were friendly and helpful. We left and arrived on time. The bus was clean and the bed for two of us sufficient (both 175cm). There were curtains for privacy. There was WiFi and a toilet on the bus (although we did not use it or see what it was like). The lights in the individual “cabins/ booths” did not work and the AC was constantly blowing cold on high and unable to adjust.

How long does it take to get from Sihanoukville to Siem Reap by bus?

Buses normally need between 9h 30m and 12h 30m hours to get to Siem Reap from Sihanoukville. Note that the travel time is for your reference only and can depend on different factors such as traffic and weather conditions. Heavy rainfalls almost inevitably make the trip longer due to poor visibility or floods. Road and surface repairs which happen quite often, result in detours and longer travel times. Major national holidays, long weekends, or peak season periods may cause delays both in departures and arrivals – plan accordingly to avoid disappointment, especially if you have further connections and a tight schedule.

Of course, they do their job, too, and can be the only option if you hop on/off in the middle of the route.

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.
