Worst travel day I’ve had so far. Boat was fine but then when we finally got onto the worst cramped bus ever, we ended up staying on the hot bus in Sihanouk for so long with the driver just stopping and getting out constantly. We got on the bus at 11.20 and didn’t leave Sihanouk until 3pm… luckily we changed busses at Phnom Penh onto a much better one. Our original arrival time was 18.30 didn’t get to Siem Reap until 23.30 lol. So expensive too

We paid a little more than we needed to because the transport was advertised as a “comfort minibus”, the photo also appeared to show a type of vehicle that we’ve been happy travelling on before. What we actually got was a regular minivan. I hate minivans, they are the worst kind of transport going for a long journey. They pack you in like sardines, they struggle to fit everybody’s luggage in, the seats are too close together and there is little leg room. In fact, if you end up in the row behind the driver, there is no leg room at all. They are ok for short journeys but are very uncomfortable for longer journeys. I would not have booked this had I known in advance.
