Alana HThe border shut between Thailand and Cambodia so our route wasn’t even possible to take but they couldn’t offer us a refund we have to use on a different route in Cambodia but we weren’t going there due to the closure and missing it completely on our travels.

Simon WVery comfortable and efficient service. I, personally, was guided through the visa process (Not a tourist visa) by the wonderful young lady in the crew. I would definitely recommend Giant Ibis and will certainly be using them again. Thank you.

Ma CWould have been 5 if not for changing our original booked schedule of 7:45am and for the poor airconditioning inside the bus. I booked the earlier departure to have more time to explore Siem Reap since our stay was only for 2 nights. For this trip, though, the change in schedule did not affect our plans so much. The airconditioning of this particular bus was also not good, it was very warm during the whole trip, especially during lunch time when we arrived at the border and all the way into Siem Reap. Staff said they could not make it any colder as it seems that water will start dripping in some vents. I would suggest they fix this problem as both Thailand and especially Cambodia are very humid. I do have to say that their on-board service is exceptional. And the bus seats were comfortable, very spacious legroom, perfect for long travel. Staff was very attentive and the provided border assistance was very helpful. Staff made sure to check all passengers' visa and other requirements to ensure quick and hassle-free exit/entry.

Johannes PPaid but didn't make it on time. Lesson learned is: if you take the bus and take a taxi to Giant Ibis ,into town, go at least two hours in advance. The traffic is immense and you will be too late........

Veraneeta DI booked for the journey Bangkok to Siem Reap and this includes transferring to another bus once we crossed the border at Poi Pet. From Bangkok, it was a van departing from the Pratunam Market Area and it was quite comfortable. The staff there was really helpful.
During the border-crossing, we were given tag to hang on our neck as this will be used by agent from the other side to identify us. It was a little bit chaos once we completed the border crossing procedure because there were a lot of people but the agent managed to locate all of us. He is very kind, friendly and good manner. He explained to us that since we arrived earlier, (as there were not that too many people crossing the border at that time; otherwise the crossing procedure take longer time to finish) we still had 2 hours to go before the next bus journey, and this time it would be the sleeper bus.
For the 2 hours while waiting, we were gathered at their office and it was quite cozy to have some rest as they provides bunk beds to lay down, ample chairs to sit and many sockets to recharge the phone. Passengers can also take showers and beside the office, there is a small restaurant selling local foods at the left and a money exchanger on the right. Quite convenient.
The next journey was the sleeper bus and it was really pleasant, I enjoyed it a lot. It arrived on time in Siem Reap and I truly had memorable experience with the whole journey. Thank you so much.

Travelling by bus essentials
- If you are planning to travel during the high season, weekends, or national holidays, booking your bus tickets in advance is highly recommended. The demand is at its highest, yet very often, the number of coaches serving the route remains the same. The earlier you reserve your seat, the better. On some routes, you need to secure your ticket more than a month in advance; on others, a couple-of-days advanced booking is enough. During such periods, try to book online beforehand whenever possible, as showing up at the bus station without a ticket may result in many-hours of waiting in the queue or leave you downright stranded.
- VIP, 1st, Gold, and similar bus tickets are the most expensive option, but they provide a higher level of comfort. Normally the price of such tickets will include wide soft reclining seats, blankets, water and snacks or lunch, and sometimes some toiletries. Upper-class buses travel faster, make fewer stops during the route, and normally provide more spacious seating to their passengers and a better travel experience.
- Not all buses have an on-board toilet, but generally, for all trips longer than three hours, all operators schedule a bathroom and/or a lunch stop. While operators definitely do their best to keep on-board toilets clean, the smell may be an issue sometimes. For longer trips, booking a seat a bit farther from the toilet may be a good idea. Also, using bathroom stops for your toilet needs is always better than trying to find your balance in an on-board toilet on the run.
- If you travel by an air-con bus, make sure to pack layers. A hoodie, a warm scarf, or a beanie hat may prove a good idea. Air-conditioning on buses tends to be excessive, and running nose and sore throats abound after even not the longest bus rides.
- Always use the security belts even if your bus ride attendant or driver does not insist on it. Your safety comes first – for you, for sure. All buses normally are equipped with security belts, but they may be fixed behind your seat. Take time to find the belt and fix it appropriately.
- To avoid being disturbed by overhead lights, switched on during stops even at night, and too loud music or sound from the on-board entertainment system, have earplugs and a sleeping mask at hand.
- As a courtesy to other passengers, avoid using strong perfumes or smelly foods. Some foods like cheeses or durians are forbidden to take on-board – check in advance. Alcohol is also prohibited on the majority of buses.
- Note that if the bus requires refuelling en-route, passengers will be asked to get off the bus. Operators are not allowed to refuel with passengers on board due to safety reasons. Usually, it takes from 5 to 10 minutes and is often combined with a toilet/lunch stop.
- If not stated otherwise in your tickets, arrive at the bus station 20-30 minutes before departure. It will give you enough time to find the departure platform and check-in. For international trips, you may need more time for check-in and border formalities.
