<title>New Direct Bus From Bangkok To Siem Reap</title>
<link>http://www.travelfish.org/board/post/cambodia/21217_New-direct-bus-from-Bangkok-to-Siem-Reap/0</link>
<pubDate>Sun, 24 Feb 2013 20:56:34 +0000</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[ I've heard that the new, direct bus route between Bangkok and SR was launched. I was wondering if anyone took it? ow long does it take and how do they sort visa issues at the Cambodian border?

Is it any faster than other methods? What the best value for money &amp;amp; time to do the travel? (flight for us is too expensive). Is it best to do the train/bus or bus/bus journey?

Would appreciate any comments. ]]></description>

<title>Flying From Siem Reap To Luang Prabang?</title>

<pubDate>Wed, 20 Feb 2013 10:18:42 +0000</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[ Hi everyone!

I know there have a been a few posts on this topic (or the reverse, so  Luang Prabang  to  Siem Reap ) but many of them are outdated and I didn't want to hijack someone else's thread...so: my boyfriend and I are planning a trip to SE Asia this spring (mid April to early June, approx. 6 weeks). For a leg of our trip we're hoping to get to Luang Prabang from Siem Reap and are looking for advice on flights - is it only Bangkok Airways and Lao Airlines that fly this route? I've already looked at the Bangkok Airways website and it looks like it'll be very expensive to fly with them - $359 one-way was the quote the website gave me. I've been trying to compare on the Lao Airlines website (www.laoairlines.com?) for a week or so ... ]]></description>

<title>Landmines?</title>

<pubDate>Wed, 20 Feb 2013 03:23:31 +0000</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[ I am looking at going camping with a few friends on  Koh Ta Kiev  (an island off of Sihanoukville. I am not sure how far exactly, but it is in day tripping distance). There is no designated area to camp in and they pretty much just give you a tent and you go and set it up on your own.


Is someone able to tell me the landmine situation on this island? I would talk to the locals but we have to book a fair time in advance.


Thanks  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Hello,
Selling a Honda Win 100cc, it come from vietnam, so the driving licence is from vietnam (you can change it for a cambodian one if needed). If your plan is to go to vietnam, should be good to not get problem at the border.


Maintenance and repair i made :
- changing oil and put some on the chain every ~500Km
- Tank changed 3months ago
- In HCMC i changed a lot of thinks (~3000Km) : Rear brake, rear suspension, clutch, chain kit, oil in fork and some broken part of the engine.

With it, you gain :
- extension &amp;amp; &amp;quot;cable&amp;quot; for backpack
- some tools to repair flat tires and some stuff
- a helmet
- a raincoat (you will love it in the rain).

Motorbike can be see in kampot until the end of february and in phnom phen end of ... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Hi,

Me and my girlfriend will be in   Siem Reap   towards the end of the month, we have around 6-7 days in Cambodia so thought about just staying in Siem Reap and seeing things from there.

We obviously want to see angkor watt etc and the local sights but also want a little night life. Can anyone recommend where we should stay?
I was thinking around the old market area and i had seen a nice villa/guest house called golden temple villa but its fully booked.

Does anybody have any suggestions? also maybe other suggestions as to other places in Cambodia we should go to bearing in mind we have to travel back to Bangkok after Cambodia

any hlep would be greatly received 

Thanks ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Im planning on travelling through Laos and Cambodia towards the end of this year. I have travelled to Asia quite a few times before doing Intrepid trips so this will be the first time organising a trip on my own.

I will be travelling with my boyfriend and possibly a couple other friends who have not been overseas before and we will be staying ideally for 20-25 days but this is flexible. My main issue is getting from one place to another.

My basic itinerary at this point is to start in Laos,  Luang Prabang  going to  Vang Vieng  and then through to Vientaine. Somehow I would then like to head to Cambodia and would like to go to Siem Reap,  Phnom Penh  and then a possible trip down to the beaches, Ive read that Sianoukville isn't ... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Hi,

in March I will be travelling to Cambodia, and during my time in the south, I would like to visit a National park (or 2) and a great island. Afterwords I will enter Thailand through Hat Lek to get back home through Bangkok.

I was wondering if anyone could advise me about the National parks Ream and Bokor. Are they any good? Since I probably won't find the time to visit Khao Yai in Thailand, I would like to know if any of the Cambodian parks were a nice alternative.

At the end of my trip, I would also like to chill for a few days on an island. I've heard about the  Sihanoukville  beaches being too touristy, so I would like to know which one is worth a stay (for swimming, nice beaches, nice walks, snorkelling...). Are the Cambodian ... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Hey all,

So - off to Cambodia for a few moments this February 2nd - via HCMC and back around through the Delta.  Anyone with recommended accommodation spots in Phnom Penh, Battambang,  Kampot  or  Kep  are most welcome to offer names.  Any side trips from said locations or otherwise useful thoughts would be appreciated.  Simply if you'd like to share a quiet and/or exciting day trip from any of these locations - be it temple walk or motorbike to waterfall or simply a fantastic place to sit down with a book and a cold beer I'd be much obliged - especially for any names of locations with porches and river views.
