khwaibah Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) At the main bus station in Surin you can get a local white 9 passenger van for 60 baht from Surin to the Chong Chom border crossing. 70 km and takes about 1.5 hours. the bus seats 9 legally but you may 20 joining you. After you exit Thailand and clear Cambodia immigration there are taxi(lemo) at this point that will take you to Siem Reap for 2000 baht. Its a two lane black top road and takes about 2 hours. I have done this my self. No bus from the border to SR but their is a bus from the border (O'Smach) to PP 600 baht. Chickens hanging from the back. I took a a pass on that and took a taxi to PP for 4000 baht. Edited June 5, 2013 by khwaibah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phuketrichard Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 easy route, driven it a few times. note that they will give u ur visa for the $20 only, no rip offs there. Should be able to get a returning taxi for $30 max ( its $50 from PP to shv or Koh Kong) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
