Bus

Peter M. Geiser (and Sibylle Dussy)

Busses are Asia's ubiquitous method of transport.

Slow local busses serve all the stops along the way, and more: usually, this kind of bus will also stop for any passenger who signals it down anywhere along its route and per default if you are a tourist (which can be a pretty nuisance after a while).

Most of these slow busses are rather uncomfortable and overcrowded, and introduce a traveller to every single bone in his or her body because after a long drive every single one of them will hurt.

Popular, much-frequented routes such as Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville (Kampong Saom) are served by reasonably comfortable express busses. Some such busses play martial-arts movies on a TV hung from the front ceiling (occasionally with the volume turned up to max) and, should they have air-con, usually try to freeze their passengers.

Road conditions in Cambodia have improved over the past years, but still vary greatly and range from washed-out dirt tracks to tarmacked "highways." During the monsoon season, all of them can be very difficult to pass.

Should you consider to travel by bus, please also refer to the general information on our transport page.


Travel often, travel safely!
Enjoy your holidays!
