Surely the place to start is to take on the Tuk Tuk drivers . They're totally corrupt control of most of the tea sorry merely drives more and more people onto bikes which are the cause of most of the accidents . They totally and utterly take the piss !

just to close the loop on this .....was a piece of cake - took 10 minutes

17 dec 2013 - 24th dec 2013 and I can assure you 1000% the road from siem reap is not paved nor was there any construction and the road. Siem reap to phnom pehn is actually worse. There are patches of what could loosely be called tarmac but much of it is dirt track - nor did in see any construction. I actually bailed out of the bus 85km short of PP and 8 hours into the journey . I jumped in one of those transit taxis they seem to have. I had no choice with night bus .....I was had my stuff stolen in SR and was not able to fly as had no ID. Gotta say tho' I loved the place and will go back.

I loved Cambodia but the infrastructure is very poor - much of the roads are dirt tracks and it can take hours to get comparatively short distances . Siem Reap to Poi Pot border 100km - 3 hours . Night sleeper bus siem reap to phnom pehn - 300km- 10 hours and the bus is awful. If u have time and no budget travel by land , if are short on time and have budget , fly .

Hi - I had UK passport stolen in Cambodia with my Thai tourist visa . I managed to get Emergency travel doc and back into Thailand for 30 days - however my next flight is booked in 37 days (booked some time ago). I read that a 30 day exemption can be extended for 7 if you make application inside 15 days and pay 1900 baht - but what I can't find out is if this is possible on an emergency passport ..... Does any one know ?
