Route overview from Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville

 

 

 

Option 1: Bus

Route: Phnom Penh Sihanoukville

---

Duration: 5 hours
Costs: $10 

We recommend booking a bus or van with Bayon VIP. The company receives good reviews and the bus drops you off at the roundabout at the end of the main street.

Other good companies to book with are Cambodia Post VIP Van or Mekong Express. Unfortunately, these buses don’t stop in the center of Sihanoukville, so you still have to take another 10-15min tuk-tuk ride.

Bear in mind that there are a lot of trucks using this route and there tends to be a lot of traffic jam around Phnom Penh during peak hours.

We also recommend traveling during the day, since roads on this route are not well lighted and accidents happen more often at night.

Option 3: Train

Route: Phnom Penh Sihanoukville

Duration: 7 hours
Costs: $8

Trains are not the most common mode of transport in Cambodia as there are not many trains operating in this country. For this route, trains only operate on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

The advantage of taking the train is that you can also bring your bicycle or motorbike. You can buy the additional tickets for $5 at the service desk at the railway station.

See the schedules below:

The train makes two 10-minute stops in Takeo & Kampot. This is a good moment to buy some food and drinks at the station.

The complete route goes as follows:

Phnom Penh Railway Station – Takeo Train Station – Kampot Train Station – Sihanoukville Railway Station

From this railway station, you will have to take a 20min tuk-tuk or taxi ride to the center. Expect to pay around $10 to Sihanoukville and $15 to Otres village from this station.
