  • Hi welcome to my £10 Bangkok To Siem Reap By Land Crossing Infamous Poipet Border. Today i head to Cambodia by the most budget friendly cost possible. The Poipet border has many nightmare stories i've read so we will see how it goes.
    I start off at Bangkok's main train station Hua Lamphong back on the 49 Baht 3rd class for six hours to Ban Khlong Luek Border Town to cross the infamous Poipet Border in to Cambodia. From there a three hour drive to Siem Reap for $10.
    I really hope you enjoy my £10 Bangkok To Siem Reap By Land Crossing Infamous Poipet Border and can join me on my journey through Cambodia.
    If you would like to support my adventures in order to bring more content, your help would be greatly appreciated❤️

      Yes it was very good mate, on the 12 hour trip I had people laying at my feet and it was far to cramped. It made it impossible to relax.

    Enjoy your travels and exploration of Asia! It looks like there was some camera shake and focus hunting in the beginning (see if you can do firmware update), but it's super clear inside the train. Thanks for sharing your experience!

    Do you know that a man in a white t shirt has been following you all the time ?
    I am 71 and lived in Thailand the past 20 plus years but also in Sa Kaeo province ,the 'county' you passed through getting to Aranyaprathet on the border .
    As yet I've not bothered to cross over the border though regularly visit 'Aran' every 90 days for the visa report .
    Thailand is fun ,safe and cheap and I'm sure Cambodia the same ,have a good time .

    You're certainly ADVENTUROUS. Using Thailand as my base, I dream about making such a journey (while on Vacation). BUT....I am afraid, that I may not be allowed back into Thailand, to catch my return flight.
    Why be afraid? Because.......I lost a lot of money when I had to cancel my Japan and Korea trip in early 2020 (due to THAT INCIDENT).
