Phnom Penh to Kep Destination Reviews

LF
Critical condition of the minivan. Windshield shattered, all warning lights lit up on the dashboard, doors jammed and could not be opened from the inside. The driver was good but the vehicle is an imposition. The fact that it is used to transport tourists is critical.

Bus started 2 hours late so we arrived in the night. Driver stopped a lot to pick more passengers and was lots of time on the phone.

Booking and checking in at the platform was very smooth. There were two trains and I had to ask people to find which one was to Kep. The train was running really fast in most of rual areas and arrived at Kep one hour sooner than the ticket said. The noise from engine, wheels and horns were sometimes unbearable, but better than unsafe travel with buses and taxies. The train itself needs maintenance. The window was stuck and the fan was broken.
