I've been to all three places. Phnom Penh I loved because it wasn't that touristy. Siem Reap was good, but Sihanoukville seems to have just beaches and looks to be more touristy than Siem Reap.

Are there any other cities in Cambodia that I can visit for a few days before I move on to Vietnam?

Kep /Kampot, on the way from shv to Vietnam

good for a day each

Maybe in your next posting you might let members know what it is you seek from your travels

It will result in more meaningful replies

If ur active and want to walk/rent bike then .......

Kampot

Battambang

I'm just back from Cambodia

Stung Treng, up north. Rent a motorbike.

Mondulkiri has the best waterfall in Cambodia. Elephant trekking. Hills. Views to Vietnam over sea forrest. Cheap accommodation. Good bus services from Phnompenh.

I wouldn't go so far as to say fast, it's a long trip (though quicker than it used to be).

Rest yes, it is very beautiful. Rattanakiri and Koh Kong are other possible destinations if ecotourism- type places and natural beauty appeal.

Koh Kong being the closest/least travel time of the 3.

but if you are heading to Viet nam, Kampot/Kep makes more sense logistically.

Well relatively speaking, 4 3/4 hours, twice a day .7am & 1pm and can go to Vietnam direct ,25km if have visa

Is this a town/city in Cambodia then?? The OP is asking about Cambodia!!!

Where next?

It's all been done on Earth ... Head for Mars! I think there's a company signing volunteers up for a one way trip right now!

Bon Voyage! ... Live long and prosper ... and may the force be with you!

I am going to be spending a week in SHV next month. I would like to visit Kampot for a day/night during this week. I am thinking a hiring a bike from Snooky and getting a room for the night at a guesthouse.

I have rode bikes around SE Asia before. Can anyone advise on the state of the road, how busy/safe it is, or would getting a bus be preferable?

I enjoy riding bikes instead of bussing it, but have never done this stretch of road before, how long is it, approx. 2 hours?

Lastly, is it dodgy leaving the bike overnight in Kampot, because of theft, if so can anyone recommend any GH that are safe to leave the bike in their grounds?

Have lots of one dollar bills for the cops.

Turn the lights off in the daytime.

That's all you need to know.

Be sure to wear a helmet and drive defensively, lots of accidents in Cam, and it is not a good place to be injured in (in terms of medical care).

Most guesthouses would let you park moto inside their gates/ground, they'll have other motos (including those of the staff/owners) to be guarded anyhow.
