Visiting Cambodia

Post by Fuzzy Ken » March 2, 2023, 2:17 pm

My Travel Blog: Overland from Thailand to Cambodia

For those thinking about visiting Cambodia, from Udon Thani, this may interest you. Following my six weeks break in Udon, it was time to return to my home in Phnom Penh, and this is my personal experience of the overland journey.

Making a start
A few days prior to travel, I visited the station and booked a berth on the night train from Udon Thani to Bangkok. I paid 977 Baht for a lower bunk in second class AC, departing 8.20pm on the 31st January. Note, from the 21st January, trains from the North East are destined for the new station, Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal nee Bang Sue Junction, instead of the old Hua Lampong station.

On my Way
Finally, departing Udon Thani at 8.45pm, arriving Khon Kaen at 10.30pm, and much later, Don Muang around 5.40am. Various announcements on the train, but only in Thai language, not helpful for non-Thai speakers. At Krung Thep, I followed the crowd, rather than signs, & at the station exit, found an information desk. I was informed, by a girl who spoke clearly in English, that because of the change of arrival station in Bangkok, a free shuttle bus was available for those going to Hua Lampong. I boarded the bus, just outside the station, for the journey of about 15 minutes, arriving at Hua Lampong at 6.30am.

Hua Lampong Station was built in 1916, but nowadays portrays a sad reflection of what it once was. From a bustling hub of steam to diesel, but now an almost empty shell, of its former glory. From dozens of small shops, the only ones I noticed still trading, were Amazon, Starbucks and Dunkin Doughnuts, with a few cold snack eateries out front.

Onwards to the international border at Aranyaprathet

At 6.39am, I purchased a ticket for the next departure to Ban Klong Luk Border station, cost 49 Baht, which departs at 1.05pm, ETA 5.27pm. BTW, only twice daily for this train, with the other departure around 5.50am. Tip: this train passes through Aranyaprathet, but stay onboard, if your destination is the border crossing at Ban Klong Luk, for Poi Pet in Cambodia.

After the built-up suburbs of Bangkok, the train passes through peaceful countryside of lush green fields, buffaloes, temples and numerous stations, some of which, thoughtfully decorated, including colourful plants and flowers. Reminiscent of some of the older countryside stations in the UK.

From the station, it’s a short walk, follow the crowd, to the Thai departure building. Have your passport and departure card ready for inspection at passport control, get a departure stamp in your passport and go back down to the street, for the short walk to the Cambodian Arrivals building. Easy to find arrival cards and forms for visas etc. with a convenient place to complete your paperwork. Those with visas should line up and get stamped in. Tip: Staple the arrival card into your passport, so it does not get lost. Also, be aware that strict Cambodian laws exist for the importation of cigarettes, tobacco and alcohol etc. plus a selection of other commodities.

Back in Cambodia
Outside, in Poi Pet, I was confronted by various tuk-tuk drivers wanting to convey me to a hotel or bus company, seemingly of their choice, rather than mine. I made it clear that I wanted to go to Virak Buntham Bus Co., a Tuk-Tuk driver telling me that it was a long way, & charged me $3, and took me to a different bus company. I told him again that I wanted Virak Buntham and he took me to yet another incorrect bus company. Finally, with the assistance of a kindly motorbike rider, I was taken to Virak Buntham. Tip: Try to have a bus company card or picture of the company you wish to use, to show your driver, especially if you have pre-booked a bus, and you’re in a hurry.

Fortunately, the night bus had not yet departed and, 15 minutes later, I was on the way to Phnom Penh. This was a “hotel” bus with flat bunk beds either side of an aisle. I finally arrived at street 47, Phnom Penh just after 4.15am followed by a refreshing 20-minute walk to my apartment.

Summary: The total cost from Udon Thani to Phnom Penh, 1740 Baht/$50 for the journey of 33 hours (including 6 hours layover at Hua Lampong) covering the 727 miles/1170km. Actually, not a significant difference with air fares.

Thanks for sharing Fuzzy.

I've never heard of a hotel bus before. Sounds interesting!

How is life in Phnom Penh compared with Udon?

Myself and two friends made regular trips to Sihanoukville. We loved the place, beautiful beaches and really nice friendly people. The last trip was our final trip. It was totally destroyed be the Chinese. Casinos on every street corner and rude Chinese people. We got out of there within three days. Phnom Penh was not affected that much but enough so that any future Cambodia visit is ruled out for the future.

I have been visiting Cambodia since 2003 and about 4 years ago decided it was the place to live.

I live in Phnom Penh city which has just about everything I need. One significant difference with Thailand is the ease of getting a visa. I have an annual extension of stay for retirement and never had any problems renewing. No 90-day reporting or requirement to have a filing cabinet full of copies of this, that and everything else.

I have travelled around a little in this country but never to Sihanoukville, so cannot comment, although it would appear that the Chinese are well established. I guess I’d better go take a look.

The hotel buses have flat beds either side of an aisle, ideal for night travel over long distances. However, never seen them anywhere else, but Cambodia. Well worth considering if you are coming over.

I like it here but may not suit everyone. Best to visit for a month and see for yourselves,

I recently spent a month in Siem Reap which I really enjoyed. I would definitely go back.
Much cheaper than Thailand with very friendly people, even the tuk tuk drivers laugh and joke, I haven't smiled that much in many a year.
The only drawback was the perpetual dust in the air apart from one afternoon when it rained.

Did the near 8 hour drive from Udon to the Poipet border crossing, easy to find cheap long term parking (can't use "secure parking") with e-visa in hand both Thai and Cambo Immigration was a breeze.

Poipet a bit dirty and rundown, lots of hotels available. Used Booking.Com and booked the Hak Huot Hotel I for near 3k baht a night......for the price place sucked (small room, low water pressure and hit / miss on hot water).

Casinos nice and modern design, but very limited games available....unless you're into slots.

One safety tip: Plan your return carefully, ensure you aren't crossing back into Thailand during a Cambo holiday period. Took me just under 6 hours to cross back into Thailand (normally a under 30 minute evolution).
Cambo immigrations was quick (not many falangs departing), but once you get to Thai Immigration line was backed up to the street).

Passed through Poi Pet, but as I was in a hurry to get home, did not check the town out, maybe next time I’ll allow more time.

Certainly, best to avoid travel at any holidays either side of the border, particularly when holidays are shared, such as the new year, coming up in April.

Good idea to obtain an eVisa for Cambodia, to save time at the border.

An eVisa is also worth it for air travel as I know people who were refused boarding passes at check in as they did not have an onward ticket from Cambodia thereby making them buy a return ticket. This was the airline not Immigration. From memory it was Thai Smile and Cambodia Angkor Air that enforce this.

Info for speccy people like me.....

I did Poi Pet a few years back for Visa purposes.

Crossed the border during the day wearing my prescription sun glasses. Thought I'd spend a few hours in the casino before going back but was denied entry as I was wearing shades. Cant see a thing without them so,, it screwed my plans up.

Great post, Fuzzy Ken. I had to smile about the 49 baht rip-off :lol: fror the journey from Bangkok to the border.

Forgive my indulgence, but here's an extract from a post I made, yes, 15 years ago (Oh My Buddah). I'd be interested to know what the border to Siem Reap road is like now.

...... about my only serious ride was from the Thai border into Cambodia to Siem Reap/Angkor Wat. This was before the road was improved and it was mainly a dirt road, potholes galore. I think we did well over 100 kilometers on the second day and I was very knackered in reaching Siem Reap. My mate faired better, but I had cause to lift his bike at one time, which I could do on one finger, whilst needing two hands for mine. That’s my excuse anyway. The same bike I have now. We put the bikes in a car for the return journey to the border, the hairiest I’ve ever endured. You think Thailand’s bad. We had large vehicles overtaking blindly in clouds of dust, with no idea what was coming on the narrow, 2-way dirt road. Additionally, the driver told us his shocks needed to be replaced very regularly, because of the potholes. In retrospect, an ‘experience’ and I really enjoyed going round Angkor Wat on the bike too. Beats everything temple-wise, as far as I’m concerned.

It looks like they're fried and sold in large apple juice tins without the juice. I did not try any.

My Travel Blog: Overland from Thailand to Cambodia

For those thinking about visiting Cambodia, from Udon Thani, this may interest you. Following my six weeks break in Udon, it was time to return to my home in Phnom Penh, and this is my personal experience of the overland journey.

A few days prior to travel, I visited the station and booked a berth on the night train from Udon Thani to Bangkok.

Note, from the 21st January, trains from the North East are destined for the new station, Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal nee Bang Sue Junction, instead of the old Hua Lampong station.

I boarded the bus, just outside the station, for the journey of about 15 minutes, arriving at Hua Lampong at 6.30am.

Hua Lampong Station was built in 1916, but nowadays portrays a sad reflection of what it once was. From a bustling hub of steam to diesel, but now an almost empty shell, of its former glory. From dozens of small shops, the only ones I noticed still trading, were Amazon, Starbucks and Dunkin Doughnuts, with a few cold snack eateries out front.

Onwards to the international border at Aranyaprathet

At 6.39am, I purchased a ticket for the next departure to Ban Klong Luk Border station, cost 49 Baht, which departs at 1.05pm, ETA 5.27pm. BTW, only twice daily for this train, with the other departure around 5.50am.

Not been to Siem Reap in many years. Last time by bus from Phnom Penh and the road was under construction with plenty of dust to exercise my bronchial tubes. I think/hope better now. Never travelled the road from Siem Reap to the border at Poi Pet, perhaps I’ll check it out some time.
However, next time to Thailand, more likely to fly to Don Muang and catch the train from there to Udon. 33 hours travelling was a bit too much for my aging frame.

BTW, I would be interested to hear from anyone who has been through Mo Chit in recent times. The following is an extract from my blog, detailing my journey from Phnom Penh to Udon Thani, back in December:

“finally arrived at Mo Chit 2 bus station, around 1pm.
Although very tired, so far, so good. However, finding details of the next bus to Udon Thani, proved to be more challenging than searching for transport to some far-flung village in India.

I enquired at various ticket booths, oddly I thought, none of them appeared to have a schedule of buses going anywhere, let alone Udon Thani. Many were unable to speak English, but the general advice was clear, one must ask at every booth, of which there are dozens. Faced with such a daunting task, I enquired at the Information Office, where the man told me yes, you must ask at every booth until you find what you want. A little bit like, I thought, searching for the meaning of life. I had already noticed that destinations at ticket booths were only in Thai, which I cannot read. When I asked about Wi-Fi, I was informed that there is no internet service at Mo Chit 2.

There must surely be a published schedule of buses listing departures and the companies running them. However, at one of the booths, I was told that they could not help me, as they are not allowed to speak about other companies’ services, even if they themselves, do not actually go to the required destination. All very secretive, has anyone seen Sherlock Holmes, or am I a victim of “candid camera”?

A little bit of luck
More by luck than anything else, I did manage to book a seat on a bus leaving at 10.30pm, perhaps there were earlier departures, but where to ask/book, is something of a mystery, and I concluded, very unhelpful to all the travelling public who find themselves in this cavernous transport hub”

Got shaken down on my first time into PP so I wasn't keen on wastin my time and money ever going back. Cambodian govt has been milking Merica for decades now and then talks ---- about it during their "elections".Yeah you can pay in American Dollars but your change will always be in local currency which isn't even fit to wipe your ass with. I wouldn't care if it got nuked off the face of the earth. Pol Pot killed all the educated in that country and all that are left are the clever,sly and retarded. Talk all the ---- you want about Thailand, at least if you follow their rules and are courteous and polite as a guest they prefer to let you be in peace and spend your money in the local economy. Rant over, but man ---- Cambodia.

I don't know about others, but I enjoyed my time in Phnom Penh and Siam Reap, and found the Khmers as friendly and willing to put up with farangs as much as any country in Southeast Asia. The U.S. did a good job of carpet bombing Cambodia, and creating support for the Khmer Rouge. Saloth Sar did not kill all the educated people in the country. Your comments that Cambodians are clever, sly and retarded make you sound uneducated, unaware, and plain silly. You are writing nonsense. Equally ridiculous is your statement about the country getting nuked off the face of the Earth. Do you really want that? Rant over, but man--SeekingSakYant

You lack of information on the world and how it actually works is APALLING, you should be ashamed to look at yourself in the mirror. You live in Udon Thani and are so blithely ignoramt of events that happened a few hundred miles away and probably in your lifetime? Have a Go you lackwit.

Don't you call me uneducated Boomer. I live in the now with modern tech at my fingertips. Go sit down before you fall down you nancy. I flew into PP, took a 20$ bill and paid a 15 dollar fee, the corrupt fat ***** behind the counter literally said she had no change, despite me watching the person in line in front of me nervously fondle 3 $5 dollar bills they'd just gotten from a ATM. I see corruption I call it out, it's blatant and obvious, at least the Thais have Face to Save, not those parasites, they have no sublty or tact, just unadulterated greed and lust, because yes you ponce, Pol Pot made it his mission to kill every single last educated person in Cambodia, Professors, Budddhist Monks, Lawyers, Scholars, and the equivalent of Ajahns who do Sak Yant.
Maybe there are some decent people from there or over there, but they're the minority, I'd have a drink with them and tell them the western world still holds out hope they have the balls to get rid of a dictator before he sells that countrys soul to the CCP.
