Poipet rough bus trip to Siem Reap - Cambodia

6 hours journey from Poipet (Cambodia) to Siem Reap is hard as the road condition is poor. Avoid any changing money in Poipet as currency touts are agressive here. Change your currency at Siem Reap or just use USD as, it's the same. USD is been used through the whole Cambodia. The 6 hours bus travel is not easy as you can see the size and condition of the bus and furthermore it's air conditioning may mal-function anytime. At certain
extend you may feel like riding a horse. mmmh horsy bus. :(

@TheMarshall67 This video is taken yr 2008, they told me it has been the 5/6 yrs they have been partially pave certain section of the road. I believe most of the road should be pave by now. ?? hopefully

Great video, was this just a normal minibus or some kind of tour??

@ryanaus04 this is the only type of bus for tourist and locals, the bigger bus is for the army or govnt official, not for us.

I experienced like that before and it's very funny pumpping a long the dusty way. It was great experience and saw how's poverty people living there

@vuddi yes its great experiences .. seeing the poverty make us appreciate and feel the compassion for them. We should learn to help the needy now and everyday, this is the true living. The fortunate one should be lending hands to those unfortunate and thats the real greatness
