The day before I was to leave on the boat I had no confirmation of being picked up or needing my own transportation to the pier, I only had a pdf of my ticket. I found the WhatsApp number and texted Angkor Guide Adventure. They said be ready at my hotel at 6:30am at my hotel and a tuk tuk would pick me up. I was outside at 6:30am and no tuk tuk. At 6:44am I sent a message telling them the problem and I had called to a Grab tuk tuk to make my way to the pier. As the boat was scheduled to leave at 7am and it was a 20-minute ride to the pier I was worried that the boat would leave without me. Then I get a call from a guy at Angkor Guide Adventure. I told him I was in a tuk tuk going to the pier and to call the boat and have them wait. The guy had zero customer service skills and was terrible. He could have simply told me the boat never leaves on time and not to worry. I got to the pier at 7:10 am and was the first tourist there. They were loading the boat with food and supplies and 6 locals. In total 10 tourists showed up right up until about 7:40 when the boat departed. Let me make this clear, this boat is locals transportation and delivery boat that stops and make deliveries in all the floating villages along the way. This is copied from the conformation; You are going Battambang Pier-Chong Khneas Pier, 23 Dec 2025, 07:00 (7:00 AM), Arrival: 11:15 (11:15 AM). This is complete bullshit. The boat arrived at 2:30pm. I had a local tuk tuk from Siem Raep waiting to pick me out at the pier which is 30 minutes from the city. Sadly, he sat and waited over 3 hours for me. You can simply walk up and pay the driver to take this boat and there is no need to use this useless third-party company Angkor Guide Adventure. They failed completely. Worthless. I have travelled my whole life and for the last five years lived out of a backpack travelling the world, I'm not new at this.

Nice trip. Pick up and drop of at the hotels. But it took 6,5 hours instead of 4,5 written in pdf.

Arrived late at the starting point. It was not the van that i booked, it was a cargo bus carrying sacks of grain and a chicken (?) In a carton box. I was lucky there was a young local on the bus that spoke english, the driver did speak no word to me when we stopped for 15 min to eat, the young man helped me with all necessary Information. Because it was a cargo bus, we stopped at many locations on the way even in the arriving city, making us over an hour late. Eventually i got off before my final stop because things were taking forever, i had to reschedule my provided tuk tuk by the hotel for pickup because we were so late and finally cancel and book one myself from the stop i got out at after being fully fed up. The driver was very slow, safe i guess, but i booked this "van" because it was said to drive faster than other provided options online. Overall would not go with GoHo again, also the starting point didn't have any person at the very run down station, so there was noone to ask when the bus came late and the station was completely abandoned. At least their whatsapp service number responded quickly telling me to wait.

The bus wasn't as new and the reception not as swanky as some of the other operators, but the driver was safer, the journey was smooth and free rolls were given with water. I would recommend.

As a trip the scenery was beautiful and a lovely way to travel to Siem Reap, it felt a very aurhentic local way to travel. However we did not get the boat in the picture. The boat was small, uncomfortable and let in so much rain, getting us and our luggage soaking wet. Staff however were lovely and the driver and staff member inside the passenger area did everything to keep us dry and keep the boat running. At times the fumes inside the passenger areas were bad and it was better to have the screens open and get wet I appreciate no one can be responsible for the weather but I feel the boat we had wasnt ideal for rain season conditions and passenger, luggage transfers

Nearly had an accident 2 times, but only one of them was the driver’s fault and he reacted accordingly. Besides that, friendly guy, had the complete bus for myself.

Vans are a great alternative - or, in many cases - your only option - if you need to travel overland within one and the same province or neighbouring provinces or states. Vans ply the roads between Battambang and Siem Reap, too.

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea.
