Took me 12 hours in total from bkk including waiting around Sent from my GT-S7500L using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakegeneve Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 There are a number of threads with info including this one, http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/562741-border-crossing-into-cambodia-near-trat/?hl=%2Bsihanoukville Basically, you catch a bus from either Mo Chit or Ekkamai to Trat . Then an hourly vans to the border. Cross the border which is fairly quick (get your Cambodia visa there) then motorbike taxi to Koh Kong. You should try to ensure that you arrive to catch the daily bus which runs from Sihan. to Koh Kong for the return journey which should be around lunch time. Check the Candy Guide linked in post #13 of the above linked thread for the departure time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARGUSEYE Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Once you are over the border, there are usually touts waiting to talk you into taking a (sometimes shared) taxi. Last time I went even at 5 p.m. So if you arrive late for the bus (most likely unless you start really early) and you do NOT want to spend the night in KK, that's your option. The WHOLE taxi should not be more than 80 Bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phuketrichard Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Evisa is up to $28 so not really worth it anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langsuan Man Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Evisa is up to $28 so not really worth it anymoreStanding in line with all the Laotion's getting the visas renewed will make the $28 seem like quite the bargain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chivas Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 Apologies but can I just bump this one back up........thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuketrichard Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 (edited) since you bumped it (no idea why) there is a new bus service out of the Bangkok Morchit Bus station that runs to Siem Rep and one bus to Phnom Penh. than u will need taxi or bus down to Shv. You can get a bus package deal out of Pattaya to shv as well, just walk around and u will see it advertised at travel agents, know nothing about them as never done that as I usually drive myself. Other than that the route to Trat-Koh Kong as explained and onwards to Shv Edited April 29, 2013 by phuketrichard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though everyone should note that you have to have a Cambodia visa prior to buying a ticket for these two international buses. (ie. you won't be allowed to board without a visa). Really, doesn't seem much point going to Sihan. via PP but as it adds an extra 5-6hrs travel and an O/N stay in PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
