Siem Reap to Don Det Destination Reviews
CP
Carol PFive stars for communication from start to finish. Very professional and helpful and always available quickly to answer any questions. The journey was well organised and mostly comfortable. I would have given 5 stars for the journey, but the last leg of the trip we were transferred to another vehicle which was a very old and rusty van with cracks on the windscreen and I felt the driver drove way too fast given the condition of the van, which felt very uncomfortable to me. However, we arrived safe and sound.

Clara BWe planned to arrive at 4:00pm in Don Det and we arrived at 7pm. They made us wait 2h30 in a cafeteria close to the border of Laos. They told us we were waiting 2 persons from Phnom Penh and that we would only wait 40min but it was 2h30. Every time we asked they said 15minutes more. In the cafeteria there was also a man who told us to change money with him because the change in Don Det is very bad and we did it and when we arrived it was better the change they offered in the island then with the man. This man was working with the bus.

Mark JWe booked a bus from Siem Reap to Don Det and it was a complete mess from start to finish. The vehicle was completely overcrowded — both with passengers and luggage. We were crammed into a small minivan with barely any space to breathe, let alone sit comfortably.
The trip to the border took over 6 hours, during which the driver only stopped once for a short toilet break. That’s simply unreasonable — I expected at least a stop every two hours.
At the border, things got even worse: the bus drove off without part of the group, just because the immigration process took too long. Only after several phone calls did the bus finally return. The driver was visibly annoyed, roughly threw our bags back into the van, and his driving was absolutely reckless.
This entire journey was disorganized, disrespectful, and honestly dangerous. I would never book with this company again and do not recommend it to anyone.

How to get from Siem Reap to Don Det by Van
Van is a convenient option to get from Siem Reap to Don Det. Van tickets are affordable, vans are generally do a faster job than buses, vans offer a good choice of departures.
Depending on the van type, each vehicle can accommodate between 12 and 15 passengers. Yet an evident drawback of travelling by van is limited space for the luggage. In most cases you will need to keep your bags, backpacks or suitcases under your seat or in the aisle. Thus van is not the best choice if you travel with huge luggage. F this is the case, consider buying a separate ticket for your bags or choose bus instead.
On certain routes, vans are your only choice of transportation as no buses, trains or flights are available between those destinations.
It is a popular question whether it is necessary to book van tickets in advance. Though some routes feature a lot of departures, we still highly recommend booking your seat especially if you are going to take one of the last vans of the day; travelling during weekends, public holidays or busy tourist seasons; are in a group of two or more and want to travel on the same van.
Here is the list of companies that run regular vans between Siem Reap and Don Det and offer tickets for online booking.

Before booking your van tickets, check how long the trip with each operator takes as some vans follow longer routes to Don Det or make detours.

Just like taxis, the advantage of travelling by van is that you can ask the driver to stop by stores, supermarkets and other establishments. You can stop anywhere at any time since you are basically renting the van and not just paying for taxi fare.
