Getting There & Away

Phnom Penh Sorya runs a 7.30am bus to Phnom Penh (US$8, eight hours). Express vans
run by Chim Vuth Mondulkiri Express and Kim Seng Express do the trip in 5½ hours
(US$10).
Vehicles to Phnom Penh go via Kompong Cham. Any advertised trip to Siem Reap usu-
ally involves a change in Suong.
Local minibuses (departing from the taxi park) are the way forward to Kratie (30,000r,
four hours). Count on at least one early morning departure and two or three departures
around 12.30pm.
