Two years ago, I did the boat
trip from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh and thought it was one of the most interesting trips I’ve been on. The floating
towns, the people on the river, the fishermen out there with their nets. Cambodia is one of my favorite places to
travel.
But getting there and getting around can be tough because it’s still a very undeveloped country. We flew into Siem
Reap because it was faster and we only had a few weeks there, but lots of people like to make the overland trip from
Thailand, which I’m told is fascinating and cheap. There are several routes (i.e. Poipet / Aranyaprathet, Hat Lek
/ Koh Kong) covered here, each with its advantages and disadvantages. And
this useful guide covers most of them nicely and
with timely detail. Good site to bookmark.
