> How to go to Angkok (Cambodia) from Bangkok (Thailand)?
If you really want to travel from Bangkok to Angkor by land there is
no easy option, to my knowledge there are no direct bus options. There
are two different routes you can take, the first is a southerly route
via Trat, Hat Lek, Koh Kong, Sihanouville, Phnom Penh. The second is
an Easterly route via Aranyapathet, Poipet and then direct to
Siemreap.
The first option requires the use of several busses boats and taxis.
Start with a bus from Bangkok to Trat transfer to a Minibus to get to
the border town of Hat Lek. The border closes at 5pm and busses start
from Bangkok at 6am so it is possible to make it to the border by
midday. Once you have crossed into Cambodia you need to find a taxi or
moto for the short trip to the river. Once at the river it is possible
to catch a small boat or continue on over the bridge (will be charged
extra by the taxi) to reach the island of Koh kong.
The Fast ferry to Sihanoukville departs once a day at 8am so you will
need to spend a night on the island. Once in Sihnoukville it is
possible to use a
taxis, share taxis or bus to get to Phnom Peng. Depending on the state
of the road it is possible to make this journey in as little as 5
hours and will cost from 800B. Once in PP there is then an express
boat service that will take you to Siem Reap (I believe it runs a
couple of times a day) or there are several bus services that will get
you there.
Bus Bangkok -> Trat 165B 5hrs
Minibus Trat -> Hat Lek 110B 1hr
Taxi Hat Lek -> River 50B 10mins
Boat River -> Koh Kong Island 40B 15mins
Ferry Kohkong ->Sihanoukville 650B 4hrs
taxi/Bus Sihanouvill -> Phnom Peng 800B 5hrs
Boat Phnom Peng -> Siem Reap 1025B 5hrs
The second option requires less changes of transport. Start with a bus
from Bangkok to Aranyapathet (alternatively a train can be used).
Transfer to a Tuk Tuk to get to the border crossing at Poipet. From
Poipet it is possible to go straight Siem Reap and Ankor Wat (The road
conditions are variable and it is a fairly adventurous trip
Bus Bangkok -> Aranyapathet 175B 6hrs
Tuk Tuk Aranyapathet -> Poipet 100B 15mins
Share taxi Poipet -> Siem Reap 400B 8hrs
Boat Siem Reap -> Phnom Peng 1200B 5hrs
I hope this is of some help |
