Getting There and Away

Bus

Buses run twice a day (one early morning departure, one after midday) to Phnom Penh, take around 5 hours and cost $4. There is one bus a day leaving for Sihanoukville at 08:30, taking two hours and costing $3.50. There is an afternoon minibus that also takes about two hours but costs around $6. Buses run twice a day (one early morning departure, one after midday) to Kep, take around one hour and cost $2.50.

Other

A share taxi to Phnom Penh takes three to 3.5 hours and cost $30-35 for the car or $4-5 for a seat. A share taxi to Sihanoukville takes two hours and cost $20 for the car or $3-4 for a seat. A share taxi to Kep takes 45 minutes and cost $15 for the car. Kep can also be reached by both tuk tuk (US$4 one way) and motodop (US$3 one way), with the trip taking around 30-45 minutes.

Most people 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 as little as $8 -- it is absolutely worth shopping around and don't feel under any obligation to take a tour offered by your guesthouse.

Getting Around

Kampot is a small place and everything is pretty much within walking distance. A short moto ride should cost around 1,000 riel. Many guesthouse rent bicycles and motorbikes.
