From Siem Reap To Thailand, The bus is a one of good choice
just 8-9hour with bus air condition, have snack and fried rice with egg
good way for who want to travel cheapest!
The bus was at least an hour late departing Siem Reap. This was, they said, due to problems with air conditioning; I think another bus had to be found. In the end we travelled on a Giant Ibis bus (not Nattakan). Very comfortable bus with plenty leg room and fully reclining seats. There were about 20 passengers. The bus conductor took great care in explaining how to proceed through departure at the Cambodian border (which was reasonably quick) and passport control on the Thailand side (which took over 2 hours of queuing). As a result of these delays we hit Bangkok at rush hour and didn't get off the bus until after 7pm (instead of scheduled 5pm). Also, we were not dropped at Morchit bus station but at Makassan.

The first half of the trip was fine, the bus was a little run down but staff was friendly and we departed on time. However the bus broke down at the border and we had a 6 hour delay until a new bus arrived. During the delay we were told that it would be “just another hour,” if we were told anything at all. We arrived in Bangkok very late but less than a mile from the Morchit station, the driver stopped to pick up a bunch of boxes which were then stacked up in the aisles, causing yet another delay. None of us dared to ask to exit because the employees of the bus company seemed very angry with the passengers. Additionally we were given only a single bottle of water at the beginning of the trip, no breakfast or lunch for what became a 16 hour day. I would never use this company again, book early so you can use Giant Ibis, we had a wonderful experience with them.

Would definitely recommend this service, the drivers are absolutely lovely and they provide support for getting you through the border and fresh bottles of cold water throughout the trip. We also got a big muffin for breakfast and later a ready meal of rice and meat from the 7-11 store. Bus had air con and was pretty comfortable. For $20 I can’t complain!!

Best part of the trip was that we arrived early in Bangkok, mainly because only total 4 people on bus. At the border, make sure to have extra copies of e-visa (I am American so they charged me extra for not having hard copy). The bus is relatively new, clean, and driver and helper/bus attendant were both great. No place to plug in phone chargers some make sure to have extra battery bank. Food/snacks were ok but I made to pack extra snacks/drinks.

The trip was great. We arrived on time at our destination. We didn't expect that there was food. The seats were comfortable and more leg room than other buses, it was tidy as well. The only hard part was walking going to the immigration because it was raining.

We experienced a very positive experience on our trip. Although the bus should be updated to a newer model, there was air condition and a toilet. The staff was friendly, spoke good English, and we received food and water on our trip. I will definitely recommend Nattakan when travelling from Siem Reap to Bangkok!

The bus was broken in middle of the trip, so the driver moved us to the new bus. But it seemed like they didn’t take into account our subsequent trip. The new bus was so crowded and we were almost unable to sit. The new bus driver dropped us too far away from immigration without clear direction of what to do. The worst thing was, we needed to bring all of our luggage through immigration since we need to change the bus. After the immigration, we waited for like 2 hours to get into a van and we didn’t have the free lunch which has been promised by the travel agency. Our trip to Bangkok using that van was so long like eons, the driver stopped by rest areas so many times. Finally they didn’t drop us to exact location that made us figuring out where to stop to our nearest place.

Like almost everything in Cambodia the good and bad of this ride were in stark contrast to each other. I booked the 8 am - 5 pm bus from Siem Reap. And had another bus to transfer to in Bangkok around 7:30 pm. There was no 8 am bus. I was told it was due to AC but think it was actually due to lack of passengers. Lesson 1 - plan on the bus leaving at 9 or just book for the 9 bus. Once on the bus things were pleasant. Comfortable enough seats and the attendant was very kind and friendly.
After a couple hours you arrive at the border crossing. This was enough to convince me that flying would have been the best option, despite cost. It took close to 3 hrs, which the attendant said is very standard. Nattakan does get you very close to the Cambodian immigration building so you don’t have to guess where it is. Petty quick on Cambodian side. Then in a line for 2.5 hours on Thailand side. Very slow moving, jam packed, hot small room. If you haven’t budgeted enough transfer time this wait can be agonizing. And even if you have, it’s a long time to stand more or less still. Lesson 2 - when it comes to Cambodia or border crossings, fly. Once on the other side the driver was there looking for us. We waited for awhile after all but one of our passengers had made it through. But then ended up leaving. Some nationalities do not get through easily at this border crossings.
The rest of the drive was pleasant, lots of slow going traffic once we were an hour or so outside Bangkok. The bus finally arrives to the station close to 8 pm. Lesson 3 - a minimum of 11 hrs should be budgeted for this journey. Missed my transfer bus. The Bangkok bus station is huge and primarily used by Thai people. No English counters.
We were provided a snack when boarding and a hot lunch, to go type entree after the border. Would take again with more time.

The border crossing between Cambodia-Thailand is HORRIBLE. Well, atleast the Cambodian side. shady, small, and slooowww. Then you have to walk in between a crazy market on train raillings towards the Thai border. Well, its all part of the experience right? However the bus is great!! Its small and normal style but it has a toilet inside. The driver and conductor is nice and friendly. They waited for us even though we took like 1:30hrs to almost 2 trying to go through borders. The bus is fairly fast and they give you lunch, snacks and drinks since it wont be making any stops aside from the border drop off. Oh and exchange money before hand if you’re gonna be arriving in Morchit after 5pm coz the banks/exchange places closes real early. The bus station is not very tourist friendly either but all of the staff is very helpful and friendly.

Booked for 8am departure, but clearly they didn't have enough customers so they cancelled that and we went in the 9am. Of course non of this was explained. Bus journey was fine, but the border crossing was a nightmare. The bus company could have have given clear instructions but they didn't. However the real problem with this route is the shambles of a process the two countries have for leaving and entering. I would never recommend a bus crossing at this border

Suggested to change the trip duration to around 11 hours, as that was the true time both ways.

I was at the agency 30 min before the departure time (as supposedly required), 7:30 am. The bus departed at 9...
There should be a guide, who keeps an eye on the passengers as they cross the border, we “lost” two older gentlemen and waited for them for more than an hour (I have no idea what happened to them, we left without them...they were probably fine and just made some other arrangement, but still...)

Bus was decent - glad it had working AC, toilet on board, snacks & drinks included, and lunch provided. Left almost an hour late, which was a bit disappointing. Very helpful, English speaking staff, which went with the group through the border and make sure no one was left behind. Arrived an hour and a half late. Bus was supposed to have WiFi but didn't. Glad my things were kept safe and I arrived alive - driver was not a maniac, and the trip was direct (no stopping to pick up people along the way).

This is not the amount that I paid for!! Bus has no wifi, and no power sockets to charge your phone. The inspector is not that attentive after your TH entry immigration so I was lost in the area at first - then all of a sudden, I saw him there chatting with some drivers then he called my attention to point where the bus was waiting for us.
CR has a foul smell and it would circulate all over your bus :(
