Very very comfortable! Vicky our guide is very helpful and resourceful when we asked her about what to do in Siem Reap. The bus is clean, the whole ride is so smooth, the lunch is also good. The bus wasn’t full seat but they go anyway. The visa process also smooth, so this is definitely the best experience as a first timer going to Cambodia. Thank you Vicky for a very good experience!

Great bus service, spacious seats, WIFI. Croissant and breakfast provided when you first get on and fried rice lunch later. Good amount of stops with decent choice of shops. I didn't have a visa for Cambodia or USD so was a bit stressed about it but the tour guide on the bus did our visas for us while we were on the way and I paid in Baht! No problems at the border & no need for USD straight away.

It was absolutely perfect, from departure to arrival! A big thank you to the staff that made this travel so easy, specially as we had to cross a border, and the person spoke very well English. The bus by itself is very comfortable, large seats and large space for your legs. The team gives all the correct information, which is very helpful for a smooth travel. We also had breakfast and lunch on the bus, what a pleasant surprise! I highly recommend traveling with Giant Ibis, it’s a 5* service.

It is very pricey compared to other companies and for being in Asia but at least the staff was super well organized so there was no fear of the bus leaving without you at the other side of the border or anything. The lunch was delicious as well! The worst for me was that one of the staff was spraying air freshener in the toilet area every two seconds (something must have been broken in there) and it was hard to breath 😂 The seats weren’t very comfortable, especially for tall people. The interior of the bus wasn’t like on the pictures or worth $36. The condense water of the AC was dripping on you the entire way and in the end of the ride it got cold in there.

Note that the travel time is for your reference only and can depend on different factors such as traffic and weather conditions. Heavy rainfalls almost inevitably make the trip longer due to poor visibility or floods. Road and surface repairs which happen quite often, result in detours and longer travel times.

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.
