Phnom Penh <> Poipet Bus

by

The bus journey from Phnom Penh to Poipet takes around 7-9 hrs covering some 460 km. There are several different companies offering a choice of mini-van, coach, and sleeper bus (hotel bus), and luxury sleeper bus.

Poipet is the location of the Cambodia/Thai border which is open from 7 AM to 10 PM. Although, be mindful that later at night it will be difficult to find onward connections. If you wish to stay overnight in Poipet or Anranyprathet I will suggest a couple of places further below.
