Bus
All major towns in Cambodia are accessible by air-conditioned bus from Phnom Penh.
Most buses leave from company offices, which are generally clustered around Psar Thmei
or located near the corner of St 106 and Sisowath Quay. Buying tickets in advance is a
good idea for peace of mind, although it's not always necessary.
Not all buses are created equal, or priced the same for that matter. Buses run by Capitol
Tour and Phnom Penh Sorya are usually among the cheapest; Mekong Express and Giant
Ibis buses are somewhat upmarket and pricier.
Most of the long-distance buses drop off and pick up in major towns along the way,
such as Kompong Thom en route to Siem Reap, Pursat on the way to Battambang, or
Kompong Cham en route to Kratie. However, full fare is usually charged anyway.
Another popular bus route is to Ho Chi Minh City (
