Pakse to Siem Reap Destination Reviews
S
Samuel was a bit delayed by an hour, not the fault of the operator but one of the lads on the bus couldnt get through the border due to a soon expiring passport, situation was a bit vague and unclear as nothing was explained and the bus they initially drove off without him while his friends were still on the bus. Seemed to get sorted eventually and was otherwise smooth sailing. otherwise was fine and came with warm drinks, food, and water. toilets were nicer than any we've had in asia in the last 6 weeks and seats were super comfy

Emaly BBooked this bus even though it was slightly pricier because it had more amenities listed, including entertainment and wifi on the bus. There was no entertainment or wifi which is standard for the region, but disappointing that it was promised and not delivered upon, nonetheless. The bus we got on was unfortunately quite run down with tight seats that barely reclined and did not have great leg room. The bathroom sorta stunk up the back area anytime it was used. The staff were very kind though and helpful at immigration. Lunch was included and free beverages as well. This was an average experience with a long-haul bus in SE Asia for a premium price. Had I known the experience would compare to lower budget options, I would have saved the money and booked something else.

Federico RThe best bus experience we had in Asia. The bus is very comfortable, with massage chairs, screens with movies, they served us a little breakfast snack, tea, water, lunch and coffee. Air conditioner had perfect temperature. The host is very friendly and speaks decent english. At the border to cross from Laos to Cambodia everything was smooth and easy, make sure you bring 32 USD per visa on arrival plus 5 extra if you lost your exit receipt given at entry in Laos. There were 2 drivers, the first was very good but after a few hours they swapped and the other guy was unattentive to the road, on his phone sending messages. Overall it was a great experience!

Matthew SIt started poorly as the bus station in Pakse was disorganised and the bus a few minutes late despite the ticket saying be there 20 minutes early. The bus stopped 3 times in the first 10 minutes once for petrol, twice to pick people up. But after this was a really good trip. Drinks offered a couple of times, lunch was nice. All really reorganised and help provided at border for those who needed. A 9 hour journey seemed to fly by. Comfy seats and plenty of leg room

Nanna CPositive: Comfortable seats and space, good space for luggage. Snack, one meal, water, tea and coffee included. Several toiletstops before the border. Negative: The wifi did not work until we reached Cambodia, and we arrived 2,5 hours later than what the time says because of the border. In our two seats there were only one working seat buckle. No toiletbreaks after the bordercrossing.
