CAR, SHARE TAXI, MINIBUS & PICK-UP
As well as buses, share taxis and other vehicles operate some of the main routes and these
can be a little quicker than buses.
Destinations include Phnom Penh (US$10, five hours), Kompong Thom (US$5, two
hours), Sisophon (US$5, two hours) and Poipet (US$7, three hours). To get to the temple
of Banteay Chhmar, head to Sisophon and arrange onward transport there.
INTERNATIONAL BUS
TO BANGKOK
Many guesthouses and travel companies offer 'international' bus tickets to Bangkok (around US$15)
with a change of bus at the border. There are even some 'night' buses advertised, but these of pretty
pointless given the Poipet border does not open until 7am!
Nattakan
( 078 795333; Sivatha St ) offers a 'direct' bus to Bangkok (US$25) daily at 8am de-
parting from its Sivatha St office, including fast-track immigration at the border. It may not be so ad-
vantageous departing Cambodia but might prove very useful for travellers entering Cambodia this
way. However, visa-overcharging is a risk, so it may be smart to arrange a Cambodian e-visa (US$25)
in advance of travel. From Bangkok to Siem Reap, the bus departs Mo Chit Bus Terminal at 9am and
tickets cost 750B.
