My journey from Siem Reap to Don Det started off well, with the driver arriving on time and the van being comfortable and air conditioned. The main source of disappointment for this trip was when the driver stopped at a restaurant on the side of the road about an hour from the border into Laos. We were stopped at the restaurant for around an hour, with the staff pressuring us to purchase a slew of items: passport photos, currency exchange, SIM cards, boat tickets. After telling them that we didn’t need any of these items, they told us that there wouldn’t be another opportunity to purchase what they were selling, which was a blatant lie. They told us that we wouldn’t be able to purchase boat tickets to Don Det once arriving in Nakasong, and told us their $5 ticket was our only option. When we arrived at Nakasong, we found that not only could you purchase boat tickets there, but they only cost $1. The same was true of the SIM cards and the passport photos- restaurant staff telling foreigners that buying overpriced items from them is their only option or else they’ll be stranded with nothing while attempting to cross the border. This practice is predatory and wrong. The rest of the journey was marred by unexplainable delays, where our van would sit idling for an hour before moving again, with no explanation given to us. We were supposed to arrive at Don Det around 2pm and didn’t arrived until around 7pm. I’d like to hope that this type of predatory practice isn’t a part of future 12Go journeys I take.

Five stars for communication from start to finish. Very professional and helpful and always available quickly to answer any questions. The journey was well organised and mostly comfortable. I would have given 5 stars for the journey, but the last leg of the trip we were transferred to another vehicle which was a very old and rusty van with cracks on the windscreen and I felt the driver drove way too fast given the condition of the van, which felt very uncomfortable to me. However, we arrived safe and sound.

We planned to arrive at 4:00pm in Don Det and we arrived at 7pm. They made us wait 2h30 in a cafeteria close to the border of Laos. They told us we were waiting 2 persons from Phnom Penh and that we would only wait 40min but it was 2h30. Every time we asked they said 15minutes more. In the cafeteria there was also a man who told us to change money with him because the change in Don Det is very bad and we did it and when we arrived it was better the change they offered in the island then with the man. This man was working with the bus.

We booked a bus from Siem Reap to Don Det and it was a complete mess from start to finish. The vehicle was completely overcrowded — both with passengers and luggage. We were crammed into a small minivan with barely any space to breathe, let alone sit comfortably. The trip to the border took over 6 hours, during which the driver only stopped once for a short toilet break. That’s simply unreasonable — I expected at least a stop every two hours. At the border, things got even worse: the bus drove off without part of the group, just because the immigration process took too long. Only after several phone calls did the bus finally return. The driver was visibly annoyed, roughly threw our bags back into the van, and his driving was absolutely reckless. This entire journey was disorganized, disrespectful, and honestly dangerous. I would never book with this company again and do not recommend it to anyone.

How much does it cost to get from Siem Reap to Don Det by van?

Opposite to, say, buses, normally vans do not offer a great variety in the sense of ticket class hence the price of the ticket is the same for all seats in a van. Note that some seats offer more comfort during the ride. E.g. in some vans the passenger seat by the driver is also available. If you are lucky enough to get it, you may have more space and definitely a better view there. Similarly, in some vans seats in the back row may be a disappointment as they do not recline due to the trunk filled with travellers’ luggage.

To hop onto a van between Siem Reap and Don Det expect to pay from USD 23.00 to USD 27.00. The more convenient the ride, the more you pay – either for extra space or for less stops enroute. Angkor Pro Travel is the cheapest operator on the route while SRL Transport is the most expensive one.

Travelling by van essentials

  • Ensure to check carefully from where your van departs. In many cases vans are stationed not at the city main bus station but elsewhere. Individual van operators may have their own van stops located anywhere, and one and the same operator may sell tickets to their vans from different stops. If you are planning a bus-van connection, be sure you understand where to catch your van as it is easy to assume that vans leave from the same station where buses arrive. No, it is not necessarily so!
  • There are different types of vans accommodating from 9 to 15 or more passengers. While on certain routes you have no alternative, on others you can choose. The rule of thumb – fewer seats mean more leg space and more comfort. As well as more money for your ticket. But this is probably the case when it is worth investing into your seat a bit more.
  • Vans accommodating more passengers are often cramped and do not provide any additional space for your luggage. In many cases your ticket will include only one piece of luggage, often with limited weight. If you travel with huge suitcases or backpacks you may want – or even need – to buy an extra seat for your luggage. Before booking an extra seat for your luggage though do check with the operator if they allow it. If you did buy a separate seat for your luggage, and the driver during the way tries to pick up an extra passenger to put on a “vacant” seat, insist on right to use it as you paid for it.
  • There are obviously no on board toilets in vans but if your journey lasts over two or three hours there will normally be one or more bathroom stop(s) enroute. During the bathroom stop, take a note of your van number plate when you get off. It will make it easier for you to find the van among similar vehicles and in an unhappy case (hypothetically!) of van leaving without you, you can at least report it to the operator.
  • Van drivers are notorious for their driving style. Though many companies enforce strict speed limits on their vehicles they are often not observed. This is probably a major downside of van travel in some countries. Anyway, if speed limits are violated do not be shy to ask the driver to go slower. Normally there will be an information plate with the telephone numbers to call if your driver violates traffic rules – report each such case without hesitation. Also, do leave your review if not satisfied with the service to warn other travellers.
  • It is compulsory to use belts for all the van passengers. Even if your driver does not insist on it, use the belt for your own safety. Belts are sometimes fixed behind your seat – do not hesitate to release them and use as they are intended to be used.
  • Many vans do not have scheduled departures but depart when full. Sometimes waiting periods can be long, especially if you happen to come immediately after the previous van has departed or just in the end of the day when there are not so many passengers. Always make sure you understand whether your ticket is for a scheduled trip or otherwise. Normally operators who allow online booking of their tickets, provide scheduled service meaning your van will depart on time no matter how many passengers show up for the trip.
