Getting there and away

Bus

Buses run twice a day (one early morning departure, one after midday) to Phnom Penh. They take around 5 hours and cost $5. There are also two daily buses leaving for Sihanoukville, at 08:30 and 14:30, taking 2 hours and costing $4. An air-con, Western-run minibus service runs every afternoon and costs $7.50 per person. Buses run twice a day (one early morning departure, one after midday) to Kep, taking around an hour and costing $2.50.

Other

A share taxi to Phnom Penh takes 3-3.5 hours and costs $35-40 (depending on your bargaining skills and the time of the year) for the car or $5-6 for a seat (with four in the back and three in the front of a Camry). In rainy season, we negotiated to have the back seat for two people, for $15 total. A share taxi to Sihanoukville takes two hours and costs about $20 (again, this can go up or down $10 depending on circumstances) for the car or $3-4 for a seat. A share taxi to Kep takes 45 minutes and costs $15 for the car. Kep can also be reached by both tuk tuk ($6 one way) and motodop ($3 one way), with the trip taking 30-45 minutes.

These days, you pretty much have to visit Bokor on an organised trip and the price depends on the size of the trip and the type of vehicle used (4WD or moto is normal -- tuk tuks are not recommended!). Full day tours to the summit, including lunch, can cost a minimum of $25 per person, but shop around a bit and try to find a bargain. When (and if) the road officially reopens to the public, this price should plummet to about $15.

Getting Around

Kampot is a small place and everything is pretty much within walking distance. A short moto ride should cost around 2,000 riel. Many guesthouse rent bicycles for $1.50 per day and motorbikes starting at $4 plus gas.
