CR

PS
Petra SWhile booking we understood there should be a nonstop service to Kampot from Siem Reap with a Universe Luxury bus having a toilet onboard.
But Tiere was a bus-change in PhonPhen.
The bus to SiemReap was great and left on time.
But the bus from PhonPen to Kampot seamed to be an older one having no toilet on board. They made a toilet stop.
Just nice to know that the service is NOT a nonstop one.
It was the daytour.

Rory NNarrow bunks you SHARE with randomers .. the bus stops about 5 times , there is never any announcement if this is a fuel stop, driver change or a toilet break. You need to wake the bloke in the way shuffle down in the dark only to be told no pit stop.

Lauren TGreat sleeper bus experience. Beds a little small for 2 people (make sure not to bring too much stuff as it’ll take up precious bed space) but nice private cabin. A/c a little cold even with vents closed so happy we were provided with a nice big blanket and pillow. We arrived in kampot even a little early. Toilet was fine but a tiny room. Would definitely use this service again.

Sandra I didn't know about the layover in Phnom Penh; it wasn't clear when I booked. The layover involved a tuk-tuk ride through a very dirty area. The drivers were all friendly, and the vans were clean.

Lukas CNo seat belt available on seat 2 in the front row and very little leg space.

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.
