Travelling east from Bangkok to Cambodia

The Thai border town of Aranyaprathet in Sa Kaeo Province is the halfway point on the traditional overland journey from Bangkok to the Angkor Wat temple complex ruins in Cambodia. The principal methods of covering the route nowadays are bus or, for those who enjoy the comforts of life, a chauffeur-driven limousine.

Buses from Bangkok depart from Bangkok’s Ekkamai and Morchit bus stations at frequent intervals during the daylight hours. Regular air-conditioned buses take up to five hours to cover the 230kms to Aranyaprathet. VIP coaches with 24-seats stop less often and usually manage the trip in a tad under four hours. 

Quite a few of the buses go through to Rong Klua Market from where it is just a few minutes’ walk to the Thai immigration checkpoint. It is also possible to take a train to Aranyaprathet, but services only run twice a day in each direction plus carriages are third-class and have no conditioning. 

After crossing the border into Poipet, taxi or bus are the options for the onward journey to Siem Reap and Angkor Wat. 12GO ASIA provides travellers with choice and has bus, train and ferry tickets available online. The Aranyaprathet route is one of many we offer private car or mini-bus transfers on.
