Will make you wait around for a long time. Not accurate timing

The ticket stayed to arrive at a certain pier 30 minutes before, which we did. The ticket did not specify whatsoever what ferry company we were to use, and there was no one on the pier that could help up. We contacted the number on the bus provider website, who put us through to the right people AFTER our scheduled departure time, who rang at us and were extremely rude, stating we were at the wrong pier (we had sent them our location, we were on the pier that matched the map co ordinates on the ticket). Boat eventually turned up, we then had to wait 45 mins for our bus, and arrived over 3 hours after the given time. Would not use again

Overall very positive. The boat was 30 minutes late, but the onward connection was waiting for us (once we found them). Location of bus connection departure would have been usefulu.

Arrived 2 hours late and charged more money after paying and since i'm paying for 3 people its extremely frustrating. We didn't get the faster van I booked we got on a slow bus with no water. Both experiences were poor and will not be booking again.

Nice driver. But we have to ask many people before knowing where to wait for the van when arrived at the pier...

Train

Train is a often a great choice for long-haul travel especially if you opt for a night sleeper train with berths which will allow you to sleep all your journey through. To make the most of your train journey, choose the class of your ticket wisely.

Note that there are air-conditioned and fan-only carriages; private compartments for 2 or 4; hard and soft seats.
Though the upper class you get the smoother is your journey, often second class air-conditioned or fan-only sleepers are a good money saving alternative.

Van

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 Koh Rong and Phnom Penh, too.

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea. Do not expect there is a roomy luggage compartment in a van - there is actually none and your fellow passengers are unlikely to appreciate your luggage stuck under their feet, alas.
