1. Our recommendation: Taxi Time!<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Summary: Buckle up for a comfortable ride priced between $70 to $100. Taxis are your luxury chariots, promising a smooth journey of about 5 hours. The price is not so steep if you split it between the 3 or 4 people. You can also check out on expat Facebook groups if anyone is travelling at the same time if you want to fill some space!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a private Taxi, you can score a plush Lexus 4\u00d74 by booking online in advance. Skip the last-minute price haggles and slide into your spacious ride hassle-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usually a Guesthouse or Travel Agent Taxi is a Toyota Camry sedan, but watch out for the trunk space! Confirm the fare beforehand to dodge any misunderstandings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary: Get ready for panoramic views and a bargain ride costing $10 to $18. Buses take about 6 hours, treating you to a scenic journey through Cambodian countryside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
