Discover Cambodia and Angkor Wat

During your stay in Thailand and especially in Koh Chang you have never been so close to the famous temples of Angkor Wat in Cambodia. miss this opportunity


How Can I get to Angkor Wat from Koh Chang ?



Songtheaw ( local taxi )

Plan A: You are a independent traveller , you never plan in advance,
you are allergic to pre booking,You are not affraid of "paper work " and formalities
You travel for many weeks ( months ?) therefore don't mind wasting time;
You are on a tight budget


This is the way to proceed from Koh Chang to Siem Reap ( Angkor Wat )

1/ Take a songthaew from your hotel to Ao Sapporot Ferry pier

2/ Buy a ferry ticket to reach the Main land- Ao Thamachat Pier

3/ Take another songthaew between Ao Thamachat to Trat Bus station

4/ From the trat  bus station board a minibus to Aranyaprathet ( Border crossing point between Thailand and Cambodia / Spend the night there as the border is closed during the night

5/ Early morning (7:00 AM) start to be in line at the Thai immigration
Already long line of gamblers will be waiting to get into Cambodia to gamble

Just for your information, gambling is not legal in Thailand but it is in Cambodia and Asians love their Baccarat. However the Thai government doesn't appreciate all that hard currency leaving their country, so what do they do? Make the border a nightmare. ...
Fill up the paper work and pay for your Cambodian Visa on arrival
Figure out minimum 1 hour  to cross the border eventually more

6/ Great : You are in Poipet Cambodia ; But your day is not over yet ! Avoid as much as possible the money changers , the pickpocket or the different scum trying to sell you a bus or car ticket to Siem Reap
Bargain hard about the transportation price between Poipet to Siem Reap ( It will be probably an old Camry car )
Prepare yourself for a long and sweaty journey ( Of course the car air co will not work !!!)

7 / Arrive in Siem Reap Late at night as the driver will  slow down as much as possible in order to try to bring you to the guest house or hotel where he can get a  commission 


Plan B : You like to feel safe / you don t like to bargain/ You do like Air co and car with good shock absorber / You want to sleep in the hotel of your choice / You dont care to book in advance / You want to be sure about the cost

In that case the best is to buy a Private transfer between Koh Chang to Siem reap or 3 Days or 4 days tour
