OVERNIGHT BUS FROM KAMPOT TO SIEM REAP (not what I expected!)

- And I thought 3rd class on overnight Soviet trains was an experience, but this is something else lol. Join me and my Dad as we take the Giant Ibis overnight bus from Kampot to Siem Reap in Cambodia. While it is still definitely a 'deal' for $25 USD to travel between the two cities, I would prefer to break up the journey and go during the day if I was to do it again. But each to their own! Hope you find the video helpful if you are thinking of making the journey!

The travel health insurance I use - PassportCard Nomads: www.passportcardnomads.com/?r...
*I highly recommend this travel health insurance because you don't have to pay out of pocket for your medical expenses and they have very reasonably priced long term plans. You can buy the packages for shorter trips as well, but they're especially fantastic for digital nomads and nomads who want regular health insurance when they are abroad. I am an affiliate of this company, but of course use the plans myself.

I think that bus is fabulous. I used to travel often between Delhi and Dharamsala by night bus, sitting up on a chair. I hated that, but this bus is something I wouldn't mind at all.
The night bus was built for small people. Dad, you were a real trooper. That was roughing it. Dad , sitting up in a seat would have been far better like in an airplane. Alina, Harriet and I
would have felt claustrophobic. As always, dear friends Thank you for taking us along for the ride. It was worth it to go to Siem Reap from what we hear it's a lovely city. Looking forward to your next video. Sending love to you both 🙏❤🙏 from Harriet, Jim and Yuki Richmond, Va.
Hi Alina, it's nice to see you traveling with your dad. You really is a wonderful daughter.
The glasses look good on you. Love the relationship you share with your Dad. Always a very well balanced perspective of your travels. And you have explored lots. You have created a great channel for travellers and deserve the rewards that comes with it.
Always taking care of your trips with your supporting and loving dad...
Hope you still love filipino✌✌😍😍💪💪😍😍
I agree with Daddy. Once in our life time will be quite memorable experince. I appeeciate and respect him more and more. Best of luck for you Sir. Stay healthy. Stay happy.
Thank you Alina for always sharing your adventurous travelling around the world. May success be yours forever and ever. 🌹❤ warmest love from your Indonesian fan
I enjoyed the night bus from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap, I slept well and didn’t waste a day that could be spent sightseeing
Hi Alina! It's always great so see you and your dad together - making the best of a less-than-ideal overnight bus transit sleeping challenge! Unexpectedly pulling an all-nighter can be fu and memorable too.
I was really wortied for your dad! The bed was so low and narrow for him! However I think it was also a positive experience for your dad who is always so sweet. Great video Alina and thank you for sharing.
Aw thanks! Yeah bottom bunk was easier for him than trying to jump up to the higher bed since there’s no ladder
That’s a very good job!❤❤❤❤
Really good to get this advice, I'd definitely need a double bunk to myself!
You're a wizard, Alina!
Great stuff! What an experience! Have not tried to travel in such a way, but seemed like (not) fun! 🙂Have a continued great trip!
Thank you for sharing your experience, I am planning to travel to cambodia next month
Thank you for your recommendation.
Great video Alina. Definitely would stay away from the overnight bus so thanks for the heads up. Looking forward to your next video.
Thank you Alina🌎
The good day for you and you dad in Cambodia in New year walking tour on the travel 👍🎉🎉!
Welcome to Cambodia 🇰🇭🙏🙏🙏🌹
This was the funiest video from Alina in a while. Thank you for the laughs.
Not too bad Alina, cool adventure with Sir Gordon!# The overnite bus is
I’m about to board same bus but Siem reap to kampot. I’ve taken several quite nice buses overnight in Vietnam. Now I know what I’m in for
Love the optimistic attitude especially from dad
Love your videos
Great videos we are following you through Indonesia
Another great video!!! I like your cool glasses!!😃
That's a long journey and it could be rough.
Thank for sharing
Enjoy indeed watching, thanks people!#
The night bus would totally have been a no for me! Lol
Both you and your father were troopers though! ❤
Dear Alina ,
Thank you very much for your nice and AMAZING VIDEO .
May God Bestow His Blessings on you and your adorable dad !
With lots of lots of love 💕💕💕 and regards ,

I took the Ibis bus from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap. I think that was about 6 hours in total, including 45 min stop mid-way for food, toilets, etc. It was fine, with a departure around 9am-ish. There was a toilet on the bus but I didn't use it. It claimed wi-fi, but I couldn't get anything out of it. I'm too old for overnight buses or any bus ride more than 6 hours. I was recently in Laos and did an airplane from Luang Prabang to Vientiane -- 45 min flight v. 12 hours on the bus. You mentioned that Siem Reap is your favorite. Curious to hear more about that. Angkor Wat is amazing obviously, but I thought Siem Reap was so-so and touristy -- I much preferred Phnom Penh as a city.
I took a sleeper bus in Vietnam and was curious to see what it’s like. Never again. Very uncomfortable. I’d rather be in a normal bus. And going any distance I fly. Flying is not expensive and so much better
Thanks for the bus review, but I would prefer the daytime travel for sure.👍😊
Hola alina McLeod nice viaje a siem reap although el dormitorio del bus incomodo , pero tenias un buen vecino cerca de ti , nice city, sunny day , y te miras bonita ! con tus gafas
welcome
You're intelligent like your dad, fun video.
It looked good on paper and at the tourist bureau.
Nice video, don't like long distance journeys. Currently in kaunas Lithuania, got a train from Vilnius 1.5hrs that's about right for me. Food is nice and plain here, so prevents toilet use, a lot of Ukrainians here too
Hello Alina. It is really hard travelling by bus at night. Generally, I wouldn't sleep during bus travel at night. The driver would stop in between for tea. I will rush to the cafe. I don't know how your dad manages to travel. Bye. See you on the next video.
It must have been tough night for you😅 Wish you will continuously have fun though your travel in South East Asia and come to Japan ASAP. You will feel much more comfortable in Japan😉
quite ok for like maybe four star accommodation.
Hello Alina,
I admire, Your bravery to try this experience. Bravery because You mentioned to be a light sleeper and additionally 6am is not Your favorite time to get up. Luckily You where accompanied.
2:03 Look at the ad 5Gb for 1$. 🙂
Do You have a guess, how long the beads are?
Best regards, Ralf
Alina 💝
Good
The day buses are fine and they make multiple stops (about once every 2 or 3 hours) at places that have food and bathrooms. Stops are about about 20 minutes long if memory serves.
Yup day buses were great
Next time you may can try Larryta Express, it's also one of the best local bus in cambodia. And the best one to take it to Siem Reap.
by the way, love your videos and your expression to each places you visit. you're really have the sense of honor and respect to our poeple and history. thank for visiting cambodia. hope you and your dad enjoy your time here.
Linda 😍😍😍😍❤❤❤
Alina, allow me to remind you about LABUAN BAJO, BUNAKEN, or RAJA AMPAT … so much to explore including DERAWAN … come Alina, explore more … your last visit was not enough … come on Alina
actually those glasses look good on you........excellence video
Oy vey. Checklist: air mattress, ear plugs, possible blanket, get double size bed on top, reading material or audible book. Any wifi and how was the temperature? Good info. I used to do those things when I was your age with my buddies as life is an adventure. Now been there and got the t shirt. When you visit places how about doing a short cooking spot with a local chef. I think people would like it, I know I would. Could have ingredients already measured out and then mix them like the local morning programs do. Safe travels and thanks again for the armchair adventure.
There are better night buses. Lol. The good thing is that you save a night’s hotel costs by taking an overnight bus.
Alina love you so much more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more 😘😘😘😘😘😘😉❤️❤️❤️
Every action has a reaction..
Próxima viagem África do Sul kkk
Oh dear! The area with all the beds on the bus looked cramped and those beds look pretty uncomfortable and too small for any adult! So sorry you had to deal with that Alina! But I hope you are enjoying your time in Cambodia 🇰🇭. It is a fascinating country. Are you planning to visit Laos 🇱🇦 next? Also, if you ever get to travel out to the Middle East in the future you should visit Israel 🇮🇱! From a friend of mine who’s been there she described it as being like a very compressed United States with so many different cultures living side by side. Not to mention all the amazing history!
Cambodia has been wonderful! Really enjoying my time here 🙂 sadly couldn’t make it to Laos this trip but hopefully another time.
That’s crazy it’s like 600km
Oh hell no ! -- I'm 6' 2'' & 222 -- no way do I want that. I'll take the day trip in a reclining seat - thank you very much ! -- Maybe in a train - but not a bus. -- ? -- Siem Reap is a 'beautiful city' and a wonderful place with food variety galore. Many expats - some 20K I hear who love it there. Cost of living is very low & retirement visas can't be beat virtually anywhere. The people have been voted the friendliest on the planet by international travelers worldwide ! English is all you need here for a pleasant life and they even accept the USD. Really a terrific place to retire in relative comfort for under $1000/mo. in recurring expenses. - And - cheap 1 hour flights can be had to Bangkok for fun or very high quality affordable health care if desired.
You are fascinating.
I'd still do it. I'd complain the whole time but I'd do it lol
My thoughts exactly!
The roads are difficult
Alina, do you like to travel by yourself or with your father? Your father is cool guy, easy going and open mind. I think you are happy to travel with him
I love travelling with him but we are both very independent so not something we would do for too long at a time lol
👍❤️💕
😍👍
😍😍😍 i love the place but i more love you 🤭🤭✌✌✌🥰🥰🥰
🥰😍😍😍😍
Took bus from Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh. Too many stops along the way. I prefer by airplane.
😍😍😍🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭
Nope don't see the resemblance with the boy whom lived, no matter how much I squint. I like the idea of being able to semi stretch out. I don't really sleep well on any moving conveyances, unless I'm exhausted. Catnaps are best that I could do, even on twelve to fourteen hour flights, or twenty hour train trips. But being able to lie down makes it seem comfortable to me. I'm happy to learn that ear plugs will make the end of the world much more palatable. Never considered that in my disaster preparedness kit, that ear plugs should be included. Things I can learn from a trip to Cambodia.
Every end of the world kit should include good ear plugs!
should try sleeper bus in indo, its 10x better
Love the English accent, more Dick Van Dyke school accents truly.
As in" no,no don't do that"
But the glasses are super cool suit you well.
Kinda like a tour bus for a rock star. I doubt I'd sleep well on a bus because they seem top heavy like they'll flip and I saw a movie, I think Speed, about a bus that had to maintain high speed or a bomb would go off.....
Cambodia has come a long way since Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge went bye bye. 😎👍🇺🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦
That they have
🇰🇭🇺🇸❤️👍 !
🏖️💍🏍️
Agony of traveling on bus
Why you alone💞
Travel in SE Asia, the bus is a last choice. Too many accidents due to bad bus drivers. Make sure, safety is always come first. The train is much better.
Mosquitoes??
Hallo...
Overnight bus from Kompot to Siem Reap is gonna be challenge, you can’t enjoy any sightseeing of the countryside. I don’t recommend it either
hey Alina,ever saw the ”WHATS GOING ON”pranks?th-cam.com/video/FVD6G7koJfk/w-d-xo.html
This kind of Night bus doesn’t exist in Thailand.
Correct, North Americans would not fit in that bus aisle!
Too claustrophobic for me 😊
Didn't you get sea sick, I mean driving and laying down.
CNN 18 NEWS
complain complain... nothing wrong with that bus. if your thst picky just hire a car or fly.
Can you rent a car .
Hope you would learn to speak Khmer ❤
Take a sleeping pill. Coma class…
Because you use a company and said there name they should sponsor you.
Really. It always gets to that point when somebody has a few extra subscribers that they feel entitled.
Feed me pay for me.
I hate that.
It’s a joke.
Алина ,привет тебе из Украины !
Это похоже на плацкартный вагон в российских поездах... 😁😁😁
Плацкарт гораздо удобнее!
