Phnom Penh to Kep Destination Reviews

LF
Critical condition of the minivan. Windshield shattered, all warning lights lit up on the dashboard, doors jammed and could not be opened from the inside. The driver was good but the vehicle is an imposition. The fact that it is used to transport tourists is critical.

Bus started 2 hours late so we arrived in the night. Driver stopped a lot to pick more passengers and was lots of time on the phone.

Booking and checking in at the platform was very smooth. There were two trains and I had to ask people to find which one was to Kep. The train was running really fast in most of rual areas and arrived at Kep one hour sooner than the ticket said. The noise from engine, wheels and horns were sometimes unbearable, but better than unsafe travel with buses and taxies. The train itself needs maintenance. The window was stuck and the fan was broken.

Train

Train is a often a great choice for long-haul travel especially if you opt for a night sleeper train with berths which will allow you to sleep all your journey through. To make the most of your train journey, choose the class of your ticket wisely.

Note that there are air-conditioned and fan-only carriages; private compartments for 2 or 4; hard and soft seats.
Though the upper class you get the smoother is your journey, often second class air-conditioned or fan-only sleepers are a good money saving alternative.

Van

Vans are a great alternative - or, in many cases - your only option - if you need to travel overland within one and the same province or neighbouring provinces or states. Vans ply the roads between Phnom Penh and Kep, too.

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea. Do not expect there is a roomy luggage compartment in a van - there is actually none and your fellow passengers are unlikely to appreciate your luggage stuck under their feet, alas.
