Pakse to Siem Reap Destination Reviews

Booked this bus even though it was slightly pricier because it had more amenities listed, including entertainment and wifi on the bus. There was no entertainment or wifi which is standard for the region, but disappointing that it was promised and not delivered upon, nonetheless. The bus we got on was unfortunately quite run down with tight seats that barely reclined and did not have great leg room. The bathroom sorta stunk up the back area anytime it was used. The staff were very kind though and helpful at immigration. Lunch was included and free beverages as well. This was an average experience with a long-haul bus in SE Asia for a premium price. Had I known the experience would compare to lower budget options, I would have saved the money and booked something else.

The best bus experience we had in Asia. The bus is very comfortable, with massage chairs, screens with movies, they served us a little breakfast snack, tea, water, lunch and coffee. Air conditioner had perfect temperature. The host is very friendly and speaks decent english. At the border to cross from Laos to Cambodia everything was smooth and easy, make sure you bring 32 USD per visa on arrival plus 5 extra if you lost your exit receipt given at entry in Laos. There were 2 drivers, the first was very good but after a few hours they swapped and the other guy was unattentive to the road, on his phone sending messages. Overall it was a great experience!

It started poorly as the bus station in Pakse was disorganised and the bus a few minutes late despite the ticket saying be there 20 minutes early. The bus stopped 3 times in the first 10 minutes once for petrol, twice to pick people up. But after this was a really good trip. Drinks offered a couple of times, lunch was nice. All really reorganised and help provided at border for those who needed. A 9 hour journey seemed to fly by. Comfy seats and plenty of leg room

Positive: Comfortable seats and space, good space for luggage. Snack, one meal, water, tea and coffee included. Several toiletstops before the border. Negative: The wifi did not work until we reached Cambodia, and we arrived 2,5 hours later than what the time says because of the border. In our two seats there were only one working seat buckle. No toiletbreaks after the bordercrossing.

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.
