Vientiane to Siem Reap Destination Reviews

RJ
They booked me 2 seats on sleeper bus so no-one was next to me and water was given. We left on time. Free tuk tuk from the bus stop in Siem reap to our hostel. The only thing I can criticise is the 2hr 30 wait at a car park in Pakse. Thankfully other girls were on this bus because I would have not wanted to wait here alone at 5am.

The sleeper bus was VIP and great and the lady at the terminal was extremely friendly, assisting us to get our tickets and take us to the correct bus. Once you cross the border you are told to wait at a coffee shop, however it’s non functional and we waited best part of an hour here. You are then put in a minivan which takes you to a restaurant. We had to wait here for two hours, and was told we’d be on the first bus to Siem reap. Of course, more and more people turned up and we saw people getting on buses to Siem reap before us despite our group being left at the restaurant over an hour longer than those. Once we arrived in Siem reap we were told we would get a free Tuktuk to our hotel but BEWARE as the guy who got us in his tuktuk(once we had loaded all our bags and were sat waiting to go) wouldn’t stop trying to sell us his other tours and then said we needed to cover 3 USD for his gasoline for the ten minute journey. After a 24 hour travelling day this is NOT what we needed.
