Travel from Phnom Penh

Phnom Penh is a transport hub with direct travel services to destinations within Cambodia as well as departures to the neighbouring countries of Vietnam, Laos and Thailand. The two most popular onward destinations within Cambodia are Siem Reap, for the ancient ruins of Angkor Wat, and Sihanoukville, which is the most popular beach resort in Cambodia.

For travel south to Sihanoukville travellers have the option of either travelling by bus or by train. Passenger train services to Sihanoukville now depart from once a day, every day of the week. The railway line in the other direction takes passengers as far as Poipet on the border with Thailand. There are currently no train services crossing the border between Cambodia and Thailand.

For travel to Laos you can either fly direct to Vientiane or Luang Prabang, or travel by road north to Pakse in the South of Laos. Pakse is near to the popular 4,000 Islands (Si Phan Don) area which has lots of islands located within a slow moving section of the Mekong River.

For travel to Thailand you have a choice of either a 1 hour flight, a 11 hour 30 minute direct bus journey, or to split the journey into two parts: bus to Poipet on the border and then a bus or train to Bangkok from the town of Aranyaprathet, which is near to the border with Cambodia.
