I booked a ticket on a luxury bus and it had mechanical problems so they put me on a basic bus with poor air-conditioning. Everybody sweated for three hours. I don’t mind being switched to a different bus if it needs to be, but at least have decent air conditioning!

The car was excellent but the driver drove reckless and seemed to be falling asleep several times.

We were unfortunate and got a full 16 seat bus. Seats 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 are very cramped (we had 13/14). Bus left on time but picked people up in other areas of Battambang, so ended up in Siem Reap 40 minutes late.

Perhaps my favourite bus journey ever. Staff welcome you onboard, you get a bottle of water and a pastry, and the legroom is great, even for a tall person like me. I'm very impressed. My one suggestion is to use WhatsApp rather than SMS because I cannot receive an SMS on my number whilst is Asia.

We had to change buses halfway through journey, and there were a few unexpected stops on way that we didn’t know about. It didn't matter much as we reached our destination on time, but useful to know upfront!
