Hi

Im trying to figure out the best way to get from Phnom Penh to Bangkok apart from flying.

Ive read that Capital open tours runs a bus leaving at 6.30am, taking 12hrs and costing $15.

Has anyone tried this or does anyone have a better ideas on how to do the journey.

I haven't heard of a direct bus, most likely you'll need to change buses at the border anyway. But in any case, take a bus to Poipet, cross the border and then take a bus or the train from Aranyprathet to Bangkok. It's easy.

I'd say 12 hours by bus from PP to Bangkok to be pretty ambitious. I use to do it overland via share taxi regularly (via Battambang) and the trip would take around 18 hours.

Lother's reads good - that's what I'd recommend, though think it would take closer to 18 hours rather than 12.
