350B? Rather expensive for only one hundred and sixty kilometres.

Is it from Cheong Chom or Chonglom which is on the advertising flyer?? And where is it located, near Pattaya?

Dear buffalo,

i read on another forum that there is also a bus service from PP to Osmach, running through Siem Reap. The bus leaves apparently at 7.30 AM for PP while arriving in the evening at Osmach. This would indicate a mid-afternoon departure from SR. The bus company is supposedly Ryth Monthi (spelling), one of the not so great ones.

Moreover, there is supposedly a half-way decent guesthouse in Osmach (not like the ones with entertainers sitting in front of the doors and renting out hourly).

Do you have any info on these details? Perhaps you could post the info in the Cambodia as well or post a link there. Not all check the Isaan forum.

Thanks for the info about the new service!

In short no. Decent being the key word. The O'Smach Casino&Resort is about it. Price and contact details. http://www.kohkongresort.com/accommodation.php

Last request, please add your info to travel section in the Cambodia forum or link. I am sure it will help one or another board member when planning a trip.
