Buses are the most affordable means of transport with a large number of terminals across the country and convenient timetables to help you plan your trip. Buses is a convenient option both for those who travel on a shoestring budget and those who do not want to compromise on comfort. Saly VIP offers bus service with an online reservation available. Before booking your ticket, read other travellers’ reviews to choose the best option.
What are the Main Stations of Saly VIP?
Saly VIP operates buses to and from the following stations:
The price of your bus trip will depend both on the destination and the class of your ticket. Note that not all ticket classes are available on certain routes yet for longer trips there is almost always a good choice of options. Opt for a sleeper coach for the most convenient overnight trip. Sleeper buses are usually equipped with berths or soft reclining seats, feature an onboard toilet and your ticket may also include other perks like snacks or even a lunch. Taking a night bus is also a good idea if you want to save on your hotel room. During the day an express service is often the best value for money as it makes less stops than an ordinary or standard class bus and travels faster. On some routes it may be crucial to choose the right class as, say, an ordinary or second class bus may need some 6 hours to cover the distance the first class or express bus travels in two hours!
Pros & Cons of Bus Travel
Pros of Bus Travel
Buses usually boast the widest network of destinations covered. They travel to the places you cannot get to by plane or even by train
Travelling by bus is easy – there is no need to arrive to the bus terminal much in advance, and the check-in is usually a very fast formality opposite to air travel
Bus tickets are very affordable. Yes, there are costly first class or VIP options but is you are on a budget, bus is the first means of transportation you have to think about
At the same time, there are different classes of service to suit any budget. If you are after a higher level of comfort, buses get you covered, too.
Cons of Bus Travel
Intercity bus terminals can be located outside the city centre in the outskirts. It means you will need to calculate extra time and money to get there. In certain destinations getting from the bus terminal can cost you more than you would expect because only a limited number of transportation companies is allowed to serve the route – and prices may be inflated.
During busy weekends or high season buses serving some tourist destinations may run out of schedule and require advanced booking.
While buses are not as weather dependent as ferries, bus trips can also be delayed or cancelled due to bad weather or road conditions – keep it in mind if travelling during certain seasons or to certain destinations.
Had to wait 2 hours for our connection, and then the another 2 hours for our ferry. We ended up being over 4 hours later than expected and weren’t told once we were delayed and no apology

Overall great experience. Sleeper bus very clean and comfortable. The mini van ride was comfortable as well. The boat ride efficient. Everything worked as it should. The stuff very friendly. And careful handling of my luggage.
I wish the trip would have been without the change in Phnom Penh. Somehow I had missed this information during booking. But in the end everything went well.

reasonably well worked out, but it is heavily advertised as a single sleeper bus and not described as many different buses that are not the same as advertised at different points in the trip.

Bus advertised wasn’t used for the whole trip, spent three hours in Phnom Penh waiting around for a minibus to take us to Sihanoukville, ended up missing the scheduled ferry and got to the final destination in Koh Rong 4 hours late

We booked what was advertised as a VIP sleeper from Siem reap to Koh rong. Turns out when we got to the check in desk that we’d only be on the sleeper for 6 hours and would need to get off of this in Phnom Penh, wait an hour and then at 6am get on a mini bus. Which to add was one of the most cramped, uncomfortable buses we’ve ever been on.
The sleeper bus itself is great and no faults there but the advertisement of the trip itself was very poor

The first sleeper bus was really comfy, but the transfer to the seating bus was really disappointing in Phnom Phen. I was expecting to get more sleep in that night transportation! And the organization was a bit messy for those buses as well! I really didn’t appreciate this part

Comfy bus but AC didn’t work and the bus was full at the connection so we had to wait 2 hours and missed the ferry we were supposed to take. Got there only 3 hours later but still annoying.

I booked last minute and the only available seat was the front, middle, between the driver and passenger her seat. Partially my fault but the seat should not even be offered. There is no place to put your feet, and the seat is on the transmission hump. It’s hard as a rock and there is not even a seatbelt. It was 4 hours of discomfort. The things we accept for flexibility. Needless to say I won’t make this mistake again!

It was written “sleepy bus to Kampot”. We stopped at Phnom phen in the middle of the night to change into a small uncomfortable minivan for 4h. Terrible night..

Bus was really comfortable and nice beds and curtains! No bathroom which was weird considering how nice the bus was. Made a lot of stops in the night and would just stay parked for long periods of time, also ended up getting to destination an hour before we were supposed to, so we waited 1.5 hours for our transfer instead of 30 minutes, which was a little rough at 5 am but also seems to generally be the way busses are here.

This company is very unorganized. Nobody seemed to know what was going and nobody was able to provide assistance. Our sleeper cabin had no window and the AC was turned so low you could barely feel air coming out. We were incredibly hot all night and were sweating in our windowless wooden box. We were woken up at 5:30am for a transfer and had to wait for 1 hour until the transfer bus arrived. We have taken many sleeper buses throughout Asia and this was the worst.

I booked a single seat up high for my friend that has mobility issues and our seats were switched to two low beds. I did not like no windows which should have been explained. It was very clean, blankets nice, staff was very helpful. Loved getting help with our luggage from taxi to the stand. Very impressed with the gentleman outside working there! Inside staff at counter were friendly and polite.

Ticket was for a sleeper bus. Sleeper bus was very comfortable. Stoped for 1hr at services for toilet / food and drink etc. arrived to Phnom Penh in which we was transported onto mini bus which we wasn’t clear when booking.
Arrived at Phnom Penh at 5:10am, was told would be leaving at 6:30am. I went to the shop and left my partner at the depot and she was confronted at 5:45 telling us we need to get on the bus outside , it’s leaving now I need to hurry up etc. 5:50am we was on the bus. The bus driver was messing around in the area until 7:15am. Took us to the fruit market so he could get breakfast, then took us to the depot so he could have a cigarette with his friends. The bus was full with 0 seats. 0 space in the walkway as was rammed with bags. The backbench we was sat on had bags rammed underneath them so had no footspace at all , had a sit with our feet up on the rear seats. When the driver then left he decided to stop on 3 extra occasions trying to pick up local people when it was visually clear there was no space. We didn’t arrive until 10:30am. The journey should have been 2hr 30mins.
Absolute joke of an experience

Everything worked fine, the driver was very nice and we arrived on time with enough breaks. Space in the bus was very limited, so I'd rather pay a bit more for the possibility to move my legs :)
But that's how it works here - everything ok👌

I didn't know about the layover in Phnom Penh; it wasn't clear when I booked. The layover involved a tuk-tuk ride through a very dirty area. The drivers were all friendly, and the vans were clean.

From start to finish a journey I won’t forget! Collected from hotel to the pier. Please note we left at 8am and the journey takes 7 hours not the 4 that was stated here. Very interesting going through the floating villages. It certainly didn’t feel 7 hours.

It is no direct connection. You have to change in Phnom Penh. And this was the annoying Part because you have a waiting time in the morning between 5 and 6.30 am.
However we arrived in Kampot 2h earlier than planned.

The bus from battambang to phnom penh was really super comfortable, I highly recommend it!
The mini-van to Sihanoukville though was a catastrophy. I've never seen a vehicule in such poor condition, and the driver was on his phone all the time. He veered of course several times, it was very dangerous. I cannot believe the same company offers such different services. Also double check the arrival time, the trip is way shorter than announced.

The night bus wasn't like the one in the photo, but it was definitely more basic. The transfer from Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville was in an old van overflowing with luggage, with several heavy bags thrown on top of the bags.

The company doesnt inform in advance that you must change the sleeping-bus in Phnom Phen for a Van. They pay a tuktuk for this situation and everything went well, but they must inform.

Unaware that the transport provider didn’t actually transport to Sihanoukville. On our arrival in Phnom Penh we were told of our departure time, then when this time arrived we were shuttled into a tuk-tuk and taken to another provider without any other information. The other provider left about 90 minutes late and the van was not to the same standard as the journey to Phnom Penh.

We went from Battambang to Kampot. The sleeper bus was comfortable, but had minimal space for both you and a small bag. The sleeper was from 11:45-5am where we arrived in Phnom Penh. We knew we were switching to a mini van when we got to Phnom Penh, but what we were not told is that we would be waiting an hour and a half and then transferred by tuktuk to a different bus company. The mini van had little leg room and took longer than it should have. Overall not a great journey and wasn’t clear when booked what the journey was like. Is a fine enough journey, but just warning for future users. Sleep is minimal and broken!

It started great we had a on time nice sleeper bus from 11:30pm and slept really well on it it’s comfy and clean however we did not expect all the lights to come on and be told to get off around 5am we were woken up and told to disembark we then had to wait at another bus station for around 1.5 hours for another bus which was a mini van, the mini van was crammed full of luggage and we spent a long time stopping to pick up parcels as we embarked on the journey stopping around 5 times to pick up more packages cramming more things onto the mini van - meaning people sat at the back were climbing on top of people’s luggage to get to their seat at the toilet stop. We were on time despite all the stops however and staff were all friendly - the ferry tickets are good value and was efficient and quick at the pier.

the buses had air con and were comfy. Crossing the boarder was easy but they never directed us where to go after to meet them at the next bus stop, AND they nearly left a man behind, but everything was fine in the end. after crossing the boarder we took a tuktuk to the next bus stop but had to wait 4 hours there for the next bus which was such a waste of time as the journey could be done in 4 hours not 9

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent & Comfortable Trip from Bangkok to Siem Reap!
My journey from Bangkok to Siem Reap was seamless thanks to Saly VIP Bus and SRL Transport!
Saly VIP Bus (Bangkok to Cambodian Border):
The ride was incredibly comfortable with spacious, clean seats, friendly staff, and smooth service. The bus was on time, and the amenities made the long trip enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone traveling to the border!
SRL Transport (Cambodian Border to Siem Reap):
After crossing, SRL Transport provided a fast, efficient, and hassle-free ride to Siem Reap. The driver was professional, the vehicle was in great condition, and the trip was much quicker than expected. Excellent service!
Both companies made my travel experience stress-free and enjoyable. 5 stars all the way! Will definitely use them again.
