O Smach border crossing.

  • Pjotra

    Hi there!

    Does anyone have recent info on transport from Siem Reap, via Samrong to the O Smach/ Chong Jom border xx and on to either Surin or Sisaket? The youngest info I find
    On the web dates from 2007!

    I'm also interested in crossing the border at O Smach. Any experiences?

    Indeed we got over the border, end of january 2011. We were told to have booked a pickup in a small restaurant, around the corner from Golden Temple Villa in Siem Reap, for a 2 hour drive by pickup truck to Samroang, for 15 USD for two. It appeared to be a taxi with 7 people together in it. The road is for about half a dustroad. From Samroang we caught a taxi ( only way to do it) for 25 USD, not negotianable, to the O Smach crossing, where the are minibusses on the other side leaving every half hour for Surin at 60 B p.p. Altogether not a bad connection, however a bit expensive.
