Didnt experience the trip itself. 😁 I fall asleep in Siem Reap and woke up in Kampot. Had a comfortable sleep in the bus with my girlfriend. All we needed was provided. Giant Ibis is greatly recommend for tourists. Friendly staff.

OK. I had to sleep on the floor on a mat with a stranger and was quite uncomfortable.

Staff was great. Passenger compartment clean. However, my backpack, which was in the lower compartment, was saturated with fish water, and all of clothes smelled like a fish market. Care should be taken by employees loading bags to ensure that that does not happen. I know they cannot prevent everything because the leak could have come from what looked like a proper bag. Perhaps they could require passengers to certify that they do not have things that will leak

I took the bus from Siem reap to Kampot. The bus left 10 minutes early as I believe everyone who had a ticket was already on board. The beds were clean and comfortable with privacy curtains. The drivers were approachable and friendly and I got a good sleep. There was a clean toilet on board. We arrived around 1 hour early to our destination. They gave everyone a bottle of water and bag for your shoes. I would 100% take this bus again. Thank you

I booked an overnight sleeper bus from Siem Reap to Kampot. We were only supposed to make 1 stop in Phnom Phen but ended up stopping several times to pick up and drop off local people who talked loudly and crowded the bus. I was in the front lower sleeper and at one point a lady sat on me. The driver kept blowing his horn making it difficult to get any sleep.

If you are 6 feet tall or more you definitely won’t be able to lie flat I will need to book a double.

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.
