About Saly VIP
Bus is a convenient way of travel no matter whether you need to get to a neighboring town a couple of hours away or venture further afield crossing the whole country. Whatever your budget, buses have you covered. Express buses offer the most affordable ticket price for travellers who have very little money to spend. VIP options are geared toward those who do not want to compromise on comfort. Before you jump on a bus, make sure you choose the type of service which suits you best. For a long-haul trip look for a VIP or first-class coach which provides non-stop service to your destination or just call a minor number of stations along the way. Express or local buses in many cases may prove an acceptable choice for shorter trips, but longer rides are often not the best buy. Study the timetable before going as many long-haul destinations are served by night buses, and some offer wider seats or sleeper berths for such travels. Make an online reservation for your bus ticket with Saly VIP. Other travellers’ reviews will help you to choose the best ticket and coach class.

Saly VIP Ticket Prices & Bus Classes
One of the best things about bus travel is that you can almost tailor-make your trip adjusting it to your requirements for privacy and comfort. Different classes and types of buses cater to the different needs of travellers. The cheapest trips are normally offered by standard-class buses. They may be called local, express or ordinary. These are a good choice for shorter trips. Sleepers or VIP coaches are good both for longer and overnight trips. They may offer berths or wide soft reclining seats, sometimes with built-in massage options, blankets, soft drinks, and snacks, or more substantial meals on board or during toilet or refuelling stops. Travelling by night buses allows you to save on a hotel room, but to ensure the most comfortable ride do choose the class of your bus wisely. Prices always depend on the distance you ride and the type of coach. For some, even shorter trips, it is worth investing some extra money and buying a seat on a VIP bus as it can save you twice as much time as you spend travelling by an ordinary bus.
Travel by Bus: Pros & Cons
Pros of Bus Travel
- Bus is the best choice to get to destinations that are not connected by rail or planes. The network of buses often covers almost the whole country, and their routes are well and long-established.
- Opposite to air travel and sometimes rail travel, taking a bus does not require arriving at the bus station much in advance. Check-in, even on international routes, does not take much time. Luggage allowances are usually very traveller-friendly, and the fee for extra luggage, if limits are set, is normally not very high.
- Bus tickets can be more affordable compared to air or fast train tickets. There is always a choice of ticket classes for all pockets. Cheaper standard options may be a bit slow and do not offer top comfort, but anyway acceptable and bring you to your destination. On longer routes, toilets or toilet stops as well as snacks, water, and sometimes toiletries and blankets are almost always included in the price.
- If you are ready to spend more, some VIP coaches offer seating comparable to business class on a plane with wide soft reclining seats, blankets, fewer passengers, and many other perks to make your trip a pleasant journey.
Cons of Bus Travel
- Newer intercity bus terminals are very often located out of the city close to bigger highways to allow buses to avoid city congestion. Unfortunately, it may create extra challenges for travellers, too. Getting to such a terminal may be a problem as in some destinations there are restrictions on vehicles allowed to enter the terminal, and you will have to use special carriers to get there. This results in higher costs as prices may be inflated. Also do calculate extra time if you are travelling during rush hours, especially if you are not familiar with the traffic situation at your starting point.
- Buses are probably the means of transport which runs out of schedule more often than trains or planes. They are heavily dependent on the road situation which sometimes can be unpredictable – accidents, road construction works, detours, etc. This is especially true for travels during weekends, high season, or national holidays. Do keep this in mind and do not plan tight connections.
- Travelling on certain routes or during the most popular periods may require advanced booking. Bear in mind that it is not always possible to show up at the bus station and hop on the next bus – tickets may well be all sold out, so organize your trip accordingly.

Alexander KThey suggestest there ist a direkt Bus from Battambang to Kampot by a Sleeping Bus. But Always you have only the Sleeping Bus until Phnom Penh and Change at 5 am Tor a Van until Kampot.
Please give thus information in your app

Stevie MThe sleeper bus was comfortable but the rest of the journey was awful. Had to wait for over 2 hours in a bus station in Phnom Penh to then get taken to the other side of the city to wait another 45 mins for a cramped van. We were then made late for the ferry we were meant to be getting at 10:30am so we had to get the next ferry which wasn’t until 1:30pm so we’re stuck waiting for 2 and a half hours AGAIN.

Ellie EThis service was nothing but awful, the first sleeper bus was fine, we got dropped off in Phnom Penh at 4:50am where had to wait over 2 hours for a mini van which we got on at 7am, we drove about 10minutes where we stopped for ANOTHER 2 hours we finally left this second pick up in Phnom Phnh at 9am. That is 4 hours of wasted time which is not stated when booking. We then missed our boat as we arrived to the port at 12pm to the island making us wait a further 1.5hours as the next Ferry is at 1:30pm. There has been no communication throughout, no apologies and no help, this is one of the worst travel experiences however it has also been our most expensive! This needs to be sorted out so other people do not suffer like we have. The only solution they said to get to the island quicker was for us to pay out of our own money a further $20 for another company to take us. This is unacceptable as it is their fault we missed our original ferry! Wasting over 5hours of our time waiting about for transfers. This means we won’t arrive to the island until 2:30pm when the estimated arrival time on the booking is 11am, which is stated can change based on traffic however not once did we get suck in traffic. If you are thinking about doing this trip from Battambang to Koh Rong DONT. Instead I suggest you go from Battambang to Phnom Phnh stay there for a night then travel to Koh Rong. Also customer support are unable to help as I don’t have any proof so if you decide to do the journey somehow get proof of how bad the delays are which is impossible

Saja LWell, we booked it over 12Go and thought we booked a direct sleeper bus from Battambang to Kampot, since it was written like that. After we paid and everything we read that we have a changeover in Phnom Penh to a van, which is totally fine but it should have bern written like that when we booked it! The sleeper bus was really good overall but i think it should be mentioned that the lower cabins don‘t have a window which can be quite intimidating… The Van was good but really overpacked since they picked up people from two different companies.

T6s6c7b9fr The first part of the journey (Siem Reap to Phnom Penh) was good, as was operated by Saly vip, and advertised at a sleeper bus. From Phnom Penh we changed to a mini van which is operated by Kimseng Express. (This change of vehicle style is not clearly stated in the marketing of Saly vip).
The first mini van provided by Kimseng Express appeared to have been over booked, and so several passengers were told to get off and wait 1.5 hours for another mini van.
The whole journey should have taken 11 hours, but ended up being almost 15 hours.

Marina EOverall great experience. Sleeper bus very clean and comfortable. The mini van ride was comfortable as well. The boat ride efficient. Everything worked as it should. The stuff very friendly. And careful handling of my luggage.
I wish the trip would have been without the change in Phnom Penh. Somehow I had missed this information during booking. But in the end everything went well.

Caitlyn BWe booked what was advertised as a VIP sleeper from Siem reap to Koh rong. Turns out when we got to the check in desk that we’d only be on the sleeper for 6 hours and would need to get off of this in Phnom Penh, wait an hour and then at 6am get on a mini bus. Which to add was one of the most cramped, uncomfortable buses we’ve ever been on.
The sleeper bus itself is great and no faults there but the advertisement of the trip itself was very poor

DArcy WI booked last minute and the only available seat was the front, middle, between the driver and passenger her seat. Partially my fault but the seat should not even be offered. There is no place to put your feet, and the seat is on the transmission hump. It’s hard as a rock and there is not even a seatbelt. It was 4 hours of discomfort. The things we accept for flexibility. Needless to say I won’t make this mistake again!

Henry TBus was really comfortable and nice beds and curtains! No bathroom which was weird considering how nice the bus was. Made a lot of stops in the night and would just stay parked for long periods of time, also ended up getting to destination an hour before we were supposed to, so we waited 1.5 hours for our transfer instead of 30 minutes, which was a little rough at 5 am but also seems to generally be the way busses are here.

Brian CThis company is very unorganized. Nobody seemed to know what was going and nobody was able to provide assistance. Our sleeper cabin had no window and the AC was turned so low you could barely feel air coming out. We were incredibly hot all night and were sweating in our windowless wooden box. We were woken up at 5:30am for a transfer and had to wait for 1 hour until the transfer bus arrived. We have taken many sleeper buses throughout Asia and this was the worst.

It was very clean, blankets nice, staff was very helpful. Loved getting help with our luggage from taxi to the stand. Very impressed with the gentleman outside working there! Inside staff at counter were friendly and polite.

kane PTicket was for a sleeper bus. Sleeper bus was very comfortable. Stoped for 1hr at services for toilet / food and drink etc. arrived to Phnom Penh in which we was transported onto mini bus which we wasn’t clear when booking.
Arrived at Phnom Penh at 5:10am, was told would be leaving at 6:30am. I went to the shop and left my partner at the depot and she was confronted at 5:45 telling us we need to get on the bus outside , it’s leaving now I need to hurry up etc. 5:50am we was on the bus. The bus driver was messing around in the area until 7:15am. Took us to the fruit market so he could get breakfast, then took us to the depot so he could have a cigarette with his friends. The bus was full with 0 seats. 0 space in the walkway as was rammed with bags. The backbench we was sat on had bags rammed underneath them so had no footspace at all , had a sit with our feet up on the rear seats. When the driver then left he decided to stop on 3 extra occasions trying to pick up local people when it was visually clear there was no space. We didn’t arrive until 10:30am. The journey should have been 2hr 30mins.
Absolute joke of an experience

Sylvia DThe bus from battambang to phnom penh was really super comfortable, I highly recommend it!
The mini-van to Sihanoukville though was a catastrophy. I've never seen a vehicule in such poor condition, and the driver was on his phone all the time. He veered of course several times, it was very dangerous. I cannot believe the same company offers such different services. Also double check the arrival time, the trip is way shorter than announced.

Scott JUnaware that the transport provider didn’t actually transport to Sihanoukville. On our arrival in Phnom Penh we were told of our departure time, then when this time arrived we were shuttled into a tuk-tuk and taken to another provider without any other information. The other provider left about 90 minutes late and the van was not to the same standard as the journey to Phnom Penh.

Isobel IWe went from Battambang to Kampot. The sleeper bus was comfortable, but had minimal space for both you and a small bag. The sleeper was from 11:45-5am where we arrived in Phnom Penh. We knew we were switching to a mini van when we got to Phnom Penh, but what we were not told is that we would be waiting an hour and a half and then transferred by tuktuk to a different bus company. The mini van had little leg room and took longer than it should have. Overall not a great journey and wasn’t clear when booked what the journey was like. Is a fine enough journey, but just warning for future users. Sleep is minimal and broken!
