Thank you for watching! We took the Vireak Buntham Airbus from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh because our preferred bus was booked out. Luckily we were able to secure our favourite seats on our favourite bus on the way back to Siem Reap. The hotel was fantastic and we will definitely stay there again. Bus 1: Vireak Buntham $16 (includes snack and lunch) Hotel: Ohana Phnom Penh Palace Hotel (between $30 and $40) Bus 2: Mey Hong Transport $10

Giant Ibis is cheap and cheerful. Monsoon Bassac Hotel is inexpensive and nice, in BKK1....OK Hotels are very good, and also inexpensive. I'm coming back to Cambodia 24th February...3 weeks from now...going to Siem Reap after a few days in Phnom Penh...might see you both there...

[@ForRiel]

We've used Giant Ibis (bus broke down) and have stayed at Monsoon Bassac as well. Not a bad hotel! See you somewhere in the Kingdom!

[@michaelirish1445]

I recommend The Giant Ibis sleeper bus, its like being on a first class night flight, if your 6' or over, book two tickets for one double and you can stretch out if you sleep diagonally across the bed. But if you suffer from claustrophobia book a bed directly across from the bus front door as the aisle is very tight and dark. Staff are very good, honest, a ticket officer at the Siem Reap office unknowingly overy charged me $10 and he went all the way to the station to give it back. Thank you Clair and Jeremy, your work is really tremendous.

[@ForRiel]

That's really lovely to hear. I honestly think most locals are not out to rip people off, and it's great that there are stories out there to support this - thanks for sharing! We've not taken the night bus as we prefer to travel during the day. Have a great day!

Hi Claire and Jeremy, I’ve taken Giant Ibis and it was pretty good but the $10US ride looks great. Also, I stayed at the Ohana 2 years ago and was a bit disappointed for a few reasons including the sparse breakfast but happy to see that it has vastly improved. Love the lower swimming pool. Overall great but I still like the Harmony across the street better for $10 more. Cheers

[@ForRiel]

Great to hear that Ohana has improved. We thought it was good value especially compared with other places we've stayed over the years. Harmony might have been booked out as we stayed over new years.

Just did Mey Hong a couple weeks ago. Was a little nervous about the $10 but everything was great, even went out of their way to drop me off in Ph’av at the central market about 40 minutes north of PP. Nothing fancy but like yourselves, they get good reviews and are perfectly acceptable!

⁠@@ForRielI forgot to mention a quick tip (from one of their employees no less), external transportation booking sites are sometimes cheaper than Mey Hong’s website, especially during peak travel times. That’s how I got the $10!

Thanks so much for watching! The first bus was $16.50 and the second was $10. Both very good value for the service, though.

[@maxmeggeneder8935]

I´m pretty sure that i paid 13$ for that exact same ride on the Vireak Buntham VIP bus. Icould be mistaken about the price though. That was end of october last year. Maybe i forgot. But i would take that same company again anytime. I could have stayed on that bus a lot longer. It´s very comfortable and the service is great.

[@ForRiel]

Yes, we have been unlucky with seat choice. In both cases we would have been a lot more comfortable on the side opposite the toilet. I'd say prices are a little higher right now because it's high season.

Ironically I took the VET bus the other direction before meeting you for lunch in Siem Reap. I have a habit of sitting towards the back because no one wants to be in the back. So I had both the recline and no one trying to recline in front of me. Even then, it was still just enough room and while i have long legs I'm shorter than Jeremy so probably still an issue but something to ponder if you have to use VET again.

[@ForRiel]

Hey Sean, that's great to know. Jeremy had no space at all once the guy in front reclined, then we didn't want to recline because the people behind us were up against the toilet and it would have been awful for them. I think we will stick to Mey Hong in future, and will try to book a little further out to have the best seat choice. Hope you're going well.

[@5loquesea]

Thank you Claire & Jeremy, more good informations as usual. We stayed at the Ohana in 2009 (formerly The Castle hotel at that time), it was 100% Khmer style at that time, with no bars on the opposite side and very much quieter to have a meal next door on the corner. Went back in March last year, apart from the noisy street now, the hotel has lost that khmer feeling with the new owners, but still good (stayed 3 nights). What is better, is the restaurant at the top, regarding food and the new overall setting. Would still go back, good value for price and location.

Yes, we hadn't visited this hotel previously so can't compare now with the past. We thought it was very good value for the standard, location, amenities, and breakfast. Loved the rooftop! Thank you for watching 🙂🙏🎉

Remember ask your host , receptionist to help you in booking , they will do it for you with pleasure and smile without tips .On the infoline they do not speak english often , usylly , at all 😅 In Vietnam they pick up u from the main streets , if hotel or homstay is on main street they drive to the hotel to pick u up and deliver to the bus station or place where buses are stopping . Even if you are in hotel on side street you have never more than 200 m to place of pick up .I am sure that this works the same way in Cambodia

Absolutely! We were really impressed with the Ohana - would be nice to get one of the fancy balcony rooms next time. We LOVE the Mey Hong bus, particularly those individual seats, and being able to walk 100 metres to the 7-11 at the lunch stop is great too.

[@jeffrietdyk3773]

We always used to use Giant Ibis between SR and PP. The worst part was the lunch stop restaurant. Called the Fly Trap. Over priced cold meals that 3 out of 3 times was not what we ordered. Inexperienced staff. All new hires being constantly trained. And hundreds of flies nonstop. Tried VET and was pleasantly surprised. More modern comfy seats, enroute lunch of your choice served on board saves 45 minutes travel time. And much cheaper than GI as well 👍

[@ForRiel]

Unfortunately we have had 2 very uncomfortable trips on the VET air bus and prefer the cheaper Mey Hong bus. The worst thing was the lunch stop but with the 7/11 just around the corner it's been a real game changer.

Speaking of buses, I'm arriving at Siem Reap Airport in a week or so but too late for the bus into town. Do you happen to know roughly how much I should pay for a taxi and whether it's possible/feasible to take a tuk-tuk. Many thanks and a great FR episode...

If you find a driver from the airport offer $20 that's the non window price. It's a long way in TukTuk, I don't recommend it.

[@ForRiel]

Definitely a solid hotel, particularly for that part of town. Not sure about river cruise from PP to SR, it might depend on the water levels of the Tonle Sap. You can take a boat from Siem Reap to Battambang in the wet season and I have heard that's a nice journey as well. Thanks for watching!

[@ms1362]

@@ForRiel Water is too low for any river cruises for the time being.

[@johnfraser4893]

As with Tonle Sap river cruises your enjoyment will depend on water level. I did the SR to Batt long boat trip in Oct 2013. Magical! But I see others that have taken this journey when water levels r lowcand they have had to get out of the boat and help push it through small channels and then later pile into trucks with luggage to complete their journey. The river is seasonal so do your homework first before booking. You can either have a terrific trip or a complete flop. Anyway thanks for some great travel tips you guys, keep up the top work.

Hi Guys, we are taking the VB bus for the first time after the Khmer New Year PP to Battambang. Gona give it a try as visit familly up there couple times a year. And cheaper than cost of gas and you can sleep lol! We are going on the 'Airbus' but is seems to have 2 types of seating one Bing 'first class' so maybe more legroom???? We shall see and report 😊 Amazing and informative video yet again delivered in a friendly happy way. A good resource for many people, especially people planning to visit! Many thanks 😊

Ah, we've never taken the route from PP to BTB. I bet that's an interesting ride with lots to see! Odd that there are two types of seating - is that on the same bus? Thanks so much for watching!

[@derekedwards1982]

We normally drive up to BTG but the bus is cheaper plus can relax/sleep lol 😏. When you book the VB bus PP to BTG there are 2 booking squares for the same bus at same time. One for Airbus (rear 3/4 if seats).And one for the Airbus, First Class, first few rows of seats, $18). I guess/think they may be seats with more legroom?

[@davidbee7394]

Hey Hey, great Vlog as always. Question, I am booking VET Air Bus from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap end for end of this month and wondering if seat 1B is ok... it basically on the toilet side where Jeremy had no leg room but 1B is directly being the driver.... The opposite side is already taken. You reckon the leg room behind the driver is ok? Would you say window or isle if so? EDIT: Also looking at Mey Hong and seat is available. I was concerned that there are no toilets on board but your vlog is saying Kampong Thom (the first stop) is half way so I guess if needed to go it's only 3 hours between which is no issues. I am guessing a tuk tuk or grab is only a 5 minute trip from street 136 PP to Mey Hong transport.

[@ForRiel]

I think that whole side is the same. I wouldn't book that bus unless I could get the side opposite the toilet. Mey Hong is great. They do a toilet stop in the first hour, then Kampong Thom, so it's not very long to wait. I'd allow a bit longer for the trip to Mey Hong HQ as traffic can be bad in PP.

[@MarkGillard-g1x]

Looks fabulous. I normally go Cambolink van so that I can sit at the front and pretend I’m the driver 😂. Great stops though. The middle of nowhere but you get fabulous food. J did your bathrobe fit ? Mine never does 😂😂😂

Clare , Jeremy, Question with out notice, With all your rental experience in Cambodia, have you ever had issues getting your Deposit back, Peter,

[@ForRiel]

In the instances where we've broken the lease, we have expected to lose the deposit and factored it into our decision. We left one apartment because of noise, and in that case, the landlord gave us half back, which was unexpected. When we have stayed the full duration of the lease, we have never had an issue with the deposit being returned. People talk about not getting their deposit back and I think in many cases it says more about the tenant (and how they left the property) than the landlord.

Yes, Jeremy has long legs and struggles to find anywhere to put them. That's one of the many reasons we don't use minivans. We have very few clothes and just wear the same ones constantly. We came with a suitcase each and that was adequate for our needs. It's hard to find larger size clothing but there are a few stores in PP, and there's also Decathlon, but you have to be lucky there as the big sizes sell out really quickly.

It does have an elevator but it only goes as far as level 6 so you have to walk a flight of stairs to the restaurant and pool/bar area. I guess the restaurant was added after the place was built and the lift would be too expensive to change.

[@ForRiel]

Yeah we were on one like that in the middle of some mountains in China once. Crazy experience!

VET Going to Phnom Penh from Siem Reap it’d ok, but not on longer routes. I took to Sihanoukville and it was horrible. It was the luxury sleeper bus. It stopped a billion times picking up and dropping off packages. It took 5 hrs to reach Shanoukville from Phnom Penh. It didn’t take the new express way. The road was bad, it literally stoped 30 plus times picking up and dropping packages. Don’t do it

That old road is a nightmare 😭💔😔

In vietnam the hotels that have buffet breakfast, people that dont stay in the hotel can also join the buffet for a set price ( around 6usd ). Is it the same there in Cambodia ? Or do you have to be a hotel guest to join the breakfast buffets ?

[@ForRiel]

Anything is possible in Cambodia 🥰

@@ForRiel Are there any hotels in Siem Riep that offer buffet breakfasts ? maybe a good topic to do a video on. Here in Vietnam its quite popular for Backpackers and Tourists to do the Breakfast buffets in the mornings. I'm sure it would make a fascinating topic to know if the same is available in Siem Riep, Perhaps Kampot as well, those seem to be the 2 destinations that are popular these days.

[@ForRiel]

Many of the bigger hotels have good buffet breakfasts, smaller ones usually have a set menu. Kampot hasn't many large hotels so it would be mainly off the menu. Due to price so you may have to pay extra, but there are some amazing cafes in Kampot so food with a view is never a problem.

No trains??

[@ForRiel]

You can go from Battambang to Phnom Penh by train but not Siem Reap as there's no trainline on our side of the Tonle Sap.

[@robertkwechen373]

@@ForRiel didn’t know that. Thanks.

I'll never go to vietnam, too many of my friends died there and other left body parts there. sorry, just not interested...

[@ForRiel]

I'm sorry to hear that. This video has nothing to do with Vietnam, though.
