I have heard that the roads to Siem Reap from Bangkok are abismal and make flying worth the money. I haven%26#39;t found reasonable airfare Bangkok to Siem Reap, however. Any advice?
Bus trip from Bangkok?
Website says 7020 baht, a little over US$200. What is your entire route for this trip? There might be a better way...
Bus trip from Bangkok?
2 years ago went in from Surin(not BK) overland a full day in a hired car from the border to SR. Roads were very badly flooded and it was a bone shattering trip...so much so we flew back instead. Apart from a lot of flood water there did not appear to be much to see..its really basic out there....i would stick to the main roads at least. If you want to see the country side do a short trip out from one of the main towns. Try an air fare quote to PP as its a larger Airport and take the bus or boat up/back to SR in my humble opinion.
What time of year are you traveling? In the rainy season the roads are a bit more challenging, but last week friends took a taxi from Poipet (the border) to Siem Reap and made it in 2.25 hours. The roads are improving every day.
My advice: Take a bus from Bangkok to the border, then switch to a taxi. Prearrange the taxi though your guest house or hotel if you can. Read through talesofasia.com for some tips about how to do the trip. It%26#39;s fun, cheap and not nearly as bad as it was.
