Cambodia forum

From your other post it sounded like you were going to be discovery passing your trip - if that's the case I'd fly it, but otherwise I'd go overland via Poipet. WOuldn't recommend going via Phnom Penh - will cost more and take longer.

Thank you.

Also you won't get back in time from SR to catch your flight out of BKK.

Thanks, i need more info, from Mochit how long does it take going to Siem Reap?
Thank you

I will travel alone, i am from Philippines. I do not mind if it takes 8 hours to get to Siem Reap from mochit.How much does it cost by the way if it is an aircondition bus, or how about the regular bus? I do need a visa and i do not bring too much when i travel, i usually have one backpack,I want to see angkor wat.I will arrive to the AIRPORT at 11:35 pm, then i will stay in the airport to check the duty free shops and go to Northern Bus Terrminal at around 3:30 am,will that be ok? My Departure is Wednesday, Jul 9, 2008

Hi, im looking at getting from SR to Bangkok in a day... So just to clarify would the best way for my group of 3? I assume to get a taxi to Poipet, and then once crossed the boarder whats the best way to get to bangkok from Aran? Train, bus or Taxi???

Tar very much

personally i stayed overnight in bkk airport (after arriving in), then caught a 9am flight to pp, then taxi directly to sr arriving around 330pm. i think overland would have taken about the same time and is cheaper.

if it still applies to you, then here's a few things to think about.

- don't fly if you aren't already at the airport. that is if you're already in bkk city, just take the train to the poipet to cross over rather than going to the airport just to fly.
- if you are in the airport (as in you've just arrived from another country), then you could consider making a transfer to fly to siem reap by local airline (about $150 one way i think), or phnom penh if you already taking thai airlines (which adds on about $200 return)

- if you are going to phnom penh then it makes sense to fly one way from pp to bkk (or bkk to pp), otherwise it's a 12 hour trip by land which is not worth the time.
- if you are NOT going to pp, then flying in & out of pp is a waste of time, as it is a 5 hour taxi for $65 each way

in sr i recommend contacting and staying at two dragons (details are on travelfish). they organised a taxi that picked us up directly from pp airport & took us straight to their door. apparently they can also organise trips for you from bkk or poipet.

Just read your posting about buses direct to Aran. Is transportation center easy to find and are these buses marked any different from others I read on another site that they were yellow? Any idea what the cost of trip is?

Thanks for the instant reply I'm just finalizing trip and you have made it a lot easier. What website did you look at to find bus number Thanks again
