to Kep (US$10, 2½ hours) and Ha Tien in Vietnam (US$16, five hours). Travel agents can
arrange hotel pick-ups.

SHARED TAXI
Cramped share taxis (US$6 per person, US$45 per car) and local minibuses (15,000r) to
Phnom Penh depart from the new bus station until about 8pm. Avoid the minibuses if you
value things like comfort and your life.
Share taxis to Kampot (US$5, 1½ hours) leave mornings only from an open lot on 7
Makara St, across from Psar Leu. This lot and the new bus station are good places to look
for rides to Koh Kong or the Thai border. If nobody's sharing, expect to pay US$45 to
US$60 to the Thai border.
