Taking the bus from Siem Reap to Bangkok is an "experience". This was our first overland border crossing, and our first time taking local bus in Cambodia and Thailand. The trip didn't exactly make for a fun day, but looking back it wasn't that bad. If you're looking for a cheap way to get from Siem Reap to Bangkok, and you have time to kill, consider taking the buses.
If want to copy our bus trip from Siem Reap to Bangkok, this blog post from Move to Cambodia will show you exactly how.

We went with the casino bus option which I would highly recommend. Plus, if you watch our video, hopefully it will make find the casino buses a little bit easier. That was definitely the most challenging part of the journey.

Once again, I really like these travel episodes, when life doesn't give you what you expect. No matter how much you take, no matter how long your day is, you make the best of it and always have a smile at the end. Thank-you! I would rather watch your vlog than a professional travel program because it feels like I actually get to visit these places with you guys!! Y'all are awesome!! God bless you!!
True. Natural beauty and everything so natural - this is why it is so much better than “TV - even reality shows are terrible”. This is what we need to relax. Thanks Kara and Nate.
Nate, we need a “This is not looking too promising” or “This is looking promising” counter lol love watching yalls old videos
Or I guess I should say, Kara we need a counter. Lol
I love how Nate always tries to look serious, but then 5 seconds later he's smiling and trying not to laugh
I took this bus route 17 years ago and the Cambodian side wasn’t paved yet, so consider yourselves lucky! It has improved greatly.
I loved watching this. I live in Thailand now, in Chiang Mai. Everytime I have gone to Bangkok it is an experience. Some friends and I want to Bangkok a few years ago and we were going to take the sleeper train back but we missed it. We hopped on motorcycle taxis and chanced down our train. I think that was the scariest experience of my life. They went even faster and crazier than the tuk tuks. Sitting on one of those carrying our food container, holding a Thai Ice tea and with my backpack on. I am so surprised I did not die.
Cooooccccaaaiiinnneee! LMAO!!
Amanda Miller Bahahahaaa,!!!!
Nate....”co-caine.”
Anita & Dana 😂😂😂
lolol So funny!
My favorite!!
By far the best part of this video!!! “Coooo-caineee….exclamation point”
That was hilarious!!!
Hi Nate I am a new subscriber and I just have to tell you so far your funniest line yet is with the man writing on the bag COCAINE.
Well done Clark and Ellen.
You Griswolds rule vacations ! ! !
Seriously , your travel vid's are a true joy to watch.
Awww so glad you like them!! Thank you!!! :)
you should write a book, kara and nate. i tremendously like your adventure in siem reap, especially that sunrise stuff. i thought you'll spent your sunset at phnom bakheng, more and lots more of tourist there at sunset. we've been there 3x and i simply can't get enough of those beautiful and awesome temples. thanks for sharing your adventures. be safe. have fun. and thanks very much.
Fuck a book... were in the 21st centry now... Videos is much more informative and a visual experience... damn i hate your old generation... want everything on paper...
@@GotDaPatience And your generation is so hateful and disrespectful. It's disgusting. Grow up.
After watching this video, I braved myself to do Siem Reap - Bangkok on bus+van just like what you did, instead of taking a plane. And I ended up having a blast! Thank you so much!
Man I wish I can travel like y’all do. I love it!
Roll forward 7 years later, we got on a similar tricked out Bangkok tuk tuk that went really fast and was blasting with Thai dance music. Super fun!
Been watching your travel vlogs in order and weirdly enough, this has been one of my favorites so far! I don't think I would have been bold enough to plan on walking across the border and hoping to find those casino busses haha!
I decided during quarantine I’m going to watch all of your vlogs. I came across you two a few months ago and I’m so glad that I did! You show the reality of travelling, the goof and bad and I really appreciate that! You both always seem super grateful for everything that your doing! Love you two and stay safe💗
THIS BORDER WAS CHAOS! Definitely a trip to remember.
I love land borders because of the chaos and uncertainty.
i plan on going to BangKok from Vietnam by bus like this , but after watching your vlog , maybe traveling by plane is much better , this way is such a long trip and hard
Haha... watching your previous vlogs. Nate was more humorous back then.
12 hours on a bus ... that's what I'm gonna do tomorrow. Going from Chiang Mai to Vientiane on a night bus, so I'm watching all the bus-related videos, haha. I'm definitely going to make a note of the Casino bus trick for when we go to Cambodia :)
I'm always amazed at how cheap stuff is in Thailand. That pad thai looked awesome.
+Perdomot I know me too! It tasted even better :)
Literally started watch your channel out of order (first I watched was the bike video of Colorado Trail)! You guys were so awesome that I subscribed to the channel and I finally started it from the beginning....Love your guys journey around the world...Can’t wait time get to that 100th Country episode
Lmaoooooo the blue bag comment! Killed me !!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂Nate saying Co-Caine just made me snort with laughter 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I've done this as well, once from Nairobi to Arusha, which is across the border in Tanzania near Mt. Kilimanjaro. The other was by rental car (5 days) from Johannesburg, S. Africa, up to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, then to Chobe N.P. in Botswana, and back to Johannesburg through Botswana. Both were interesting experiences, to say the least, and both were solo.
I Did similartvan / Bus trip last year within morocco last year, love the journey & the people I met.
I also Just return from Angkor wat 3 weeks ago & a Side trip to Langkawi islands in Malaysia to unwind
Totally addicted to your channel 😍
omg 12+ hours traveling! you deserve to be in a hall of fame of some sort! :)
I traveled 3 days by bus from Albania to Germany. In Serbian Hungarian border we stayed 6 hours, the longest 6 hours of my life.
lol those are the buses we took too, sooooo much cheaper. Also the train from Siem Reap to Bangkok was under $4 per person, no a/c but the windows open so plenty of breeze.
Made the same journey the other direction from you guys a few years back. Crossing land borders definitely way way more interesting than flying hahaha
Love the Random Thai girl giving camera bomb with the victory sign at the end, cute touch to leave it in Kara. Not in Adelaide. Though we still have convenience stores.
those spring rolls and pad thai just looked sooo yummy.
1:08 Awesome then was inexperience. Awesome now( in 2021) is the Flawless editing of the Video's I Love by Kara. No more Painfull and Quirky music. The music used is now Professional. (made possible by Epidemic Sound) Keep the good Work up!
Giant Ibis now runs a VIP bus service between siem reap & bangkok. Costs about $30usd, with drinking water & lunch included. Takes about 6 hrs. I've taken this route maybe 20 times over the years~
kowsan road is where you were.. its the party place for most young travelers...great food around there too... even a burger king on the far end....walking distance to the royal palace too...
+ndspeedster Hey there, where I live in Toronto, there is a Thai restaurant called Khao San Road. It's always packed and it's ppl from Bangkok who run it. So thankful as it brings a lil back from Thailand!JJ30
So sorry Kara I couldn’t finish watching the previous one the one with eating the bugs my stomach is too weak for that.
Love these older videos from you guys, so much more real and less staged
The lady at 13:58😂❤️
I was thinking about this vlog (and how I enjoyed it so much back in the day)... and had to search through your videos to find it! Glad I did! 👍
Omg! We were just talking about this day! We walked by a casino bus with hello kitties all over it yesterday 😂😂😂
great video.. on a video binge fest on all your videos in span of 36 hours! best thing, im not tired of your videos.. you bring so much energy and positive attitude, essential in traveling
im more of Nate in frugal spendingbut more of Kara in a foodie binge eating
what hotel did you stay in bangkok?
how did you get from bangkok to chiang mai... not sure if you covered this route..
i plan to use the casino bus-bus to siem reap and back... with your help.. it should be easier.... thanks
Love Nate's sense of humor
Always smiling. Always positive.
Kara keep your mouth close before the fry get in it happen very good. holiday. You both enjoy your day thank you for sharing your beautiful video. Bless you both .
“Seems every time I’m about to despair, there’s a 7/11 right there. Each store is the same from Las Vegas to Boston. LINOLEUM ISLES THAT I LOVE TO GET LOST IN!!!”
anyone?
Anyone?
No. Ok.
Bran M. Yes! Me too!
There’s a 7/11 on every (literally every) corner of each block in Bangkok.
Thank you for bringing the coffee!
It's like watching the love child of Matthew Matthew Mcconaughey and Ronaldo :)
The first snickers. :D No way I would have left mye bags. Yikes!
Nate: Are you ok?
Kara. I'm alright ....
Wellll... :D
Pad thai is yummy. Nom nom.
This was a long journey. Phew.
Tara sleeps like my husband when we travel and I'm like Nate. It's very annoying when they can fall asleep anywhere.
Oh god, we did the bus from Sihanoukville to Phnom Penh and it was double the estimated time. We thought we were going to miss our flight!
You could have taken the train.
On the bucket list since I just retired
Way way faster now. Now its direct from Siem Reap to Bangkok, no need to change buses anymore.
That crossing is a lot less scary than Malaysia to Thailand.. They take your passport and then you have to drive half an hour before you get it back and we were warned by our guide that people go missing between the 2 points.
Like your video. Im planning to go to Cambodia siem reap (casino) via Bangkok. Bus. as an adventure.
a long long day...But the street food in Bangkok seems to be a good reward.
Sandrine and Mo from Montreal
+mohmontreal It was definitely a treat!! :)
love your vlogs so real and relaxed keep up the good work hope to meet sometime
Omg this string of 3-4 videos has made me laugh so hard! "Speaking of shady bags, lets add another"... Man starts writing on one... Nate: "Cooo-Cain". Thanks Nate. Again. You made me wake my baby laughing!
The guy was speaking Thai and it was a phone number that he told the other guy to write on the bag. When you don’t know the language, your imagination can run wild.
What do you guys do to secure your valuables when you leave your hotel room?....I've heard many horror stories of the room 'safe' not being at all safe in many SE Asian countries...can't imagine you carry everything with you every time you go out - so what do you do ? what's your experience/advice ?
That place was playing AVICCI!!! 😢
Visiting museums, killing field, Royal Palace, Silk Island, beaches and Angkor wat complex enables visitor to understand enriched culture, history, and civility of Cambodia but Cambodia still has plenty more to offer visitors to relax and explore which is remote, rural, and frontier feel that is potential for ecotourism activities.

I would go to Koh Rong Sanloem, an island off of Sihanoukville. You take Buva Sea Speed boat there , which cost $25 round trip.
“25 minutes or so for checking your bus ticket and for toilet” getting right to the point 😜
Seems you had fun though it was a very long land travel! Thinking of doing the same for our Siem Reap to Bangkok transport this October! Always take care guys!
Loved the blue bags! LOL!
I am planning to take on this journey (Siem Reap-Bangkok bus) by myself. Hopefully I wont get lost
Sorry mate, but 13:49 is not exactly Pad Thai. Thai people would called that Pad Mee but it couldn't help as those Pad Mee carts are all over the Khao San Rd.
nate.. you must come to Indonesia.. there's many wonderful place for your advanture..
+yonathan leonard We'd love to sometime!
Goodness me! You guys are braver than I am, I'd never spend that long on a bus... I need my bathroom and snack breaks :L
"Cooooo*aiaaann expiration mark" 🤣😂
My bus trip from Siemreap to Bangkok only took like 5 hours.
how did you do it? which bus did you take? i'm planning of doing this but it seems rather tiring, 5 hours sounds doable though. would appreciate a reply.
@karaandnate I just died laughing when Nate said cocaine at the perfect time
wow,, thanks for the information,, btw what video camera did you use?
I was wondering what camera you guys use, love your videos!
This might be a stupid question but are there toilets on those busses? And if not, do they stop regularly for toilet breaks?
Yes there are thankfully!
Nate, you remind me much of myself with your overcharge conspiracies. hahahaha
I have questions. I'm really wanting to go to cambodia and bangkok in a couple months and I like how yall travel. I'm worried about how much to take and bags to carry. what do each of you take/have?
Nice vlog!!
hey nate...u do know u look like cristiano ronaldo rite?
Haha I've heard that a time or two since we started traveling!
+Kara and Nate get some tanned you will look 98% like him, now its about 78%
Yep def look just like him !!!
nice video, love it
Nate, grow out your curly hair ! Haha 😀
What kind of camera do you guys use?
That looks so yummy.
they use car engine for tuktuk's in thailand that's why it is fast.
Kara said a couple of times something like "great to be back", have you or her been there before?
Guys I love your Vids, keep it up. Am just wondering guys when you go back home and start again normal life I think you will find it very boring because of the routine. Now everyday there is new places and new things and adventures but later on when you go back home I do not know how you will adapt to routine life.
+420yers Club The current plan is to return home in early December. That's a great question! As of now the answer is... we have NO clue! However, I'm a believer that life is made up of chapters. I've always been good at enjoying my current chapter of life. Hopefully this won't be any different. At some point we'll close the travel chapter, be extremely grateful for it, and move on to enjoying the next chapter of life. At least that's the plan in theory. We'll see how it works out in real life.
+Kara and Nate Well guys enjoy it while it lasts and be always happy, happiness looks great on you guys. Hope you find pleasure and happiness in whatever you do and decide.
Jeez I miss travel.
Cooo caine 😂🤣😂🤣
Hi, Kara and Nate :) I just want to check if the Casino bus has an on-board toilet? Thanks
Nate....I am calling u iron man from now on...if I had to stay up for 12 hours non stop traveling on land...I would be the grumpiest person on that side of the planet....
He had to by sheer determination because he is a responsible person and he knows that one person has to stay awake to be aware of everything.
Is it free? riding casino bus? I thought there are no casinos in Thailand?
how do i get a visa from bnk to cambodia? cant i get it directly at immigration?
Will you guys ever choose to live anywhere that you have traveled at? And if you would get jobs and work for a living besides doing youtube? Just wondering if that ever crossed your minds. I don't think you look at these comments anymore but if so thanks for reading this comment. Nate when you said cocaine I had to laugh about that one.
From Siem Reap to Thailand border takes 2 hours by motorcycle!!
Really?
Out of curiosity, did the two of you try the Fish Massage while in Cambodia? I found them all over Siem Reap, and a lot less than Bangkok.JJ30
+Jazzyjon30 we didn't try it in Cambodia, but we did get a natural Fish Massage while swimming in a cenote in Mexico! They TICKLE!
hello Kara & Nate:
I'd like to inform you that -- from now on there is a Giant Ibis Transport bus direct from Siem Reap (Cambodia) - Bangkok (Thailand).
The bus station is located in Khao San road like in the clip. For more information! Pls visit giantibis.com
Thanks.
Like how many hours will it take you to thailand from siem reap?
+Maiyo Herero The road between Poipet (just on the Cambodian side of the Thailand/Cambodia border) to Siem Reap took me 7 hours when I went, back in 1998. Now I hear it can be done in 2 1/2 to 3 hours, in theory (only counting when the vehicle is moving though; Kara and Nate had to wait for a lot of delays and transfers). Keep in mind that's not Bangkok to Siem Reap, that's just from the border to there. Bangkok to the Cambodian border probably takes about 3 to 4 hours by bus. In theory Bangkok to Siem Reap would take about 7 hours, not counting transfers, stops, and the time it takes to cross the border each way. 9 to 10 hours is probably more realistic, and as seen in this video, could possibly take as long as 12. But hey, it will only cost you $7 to $15 (depending what buses you take) so if you're on a tight budget and not in a hurry, go for it.
If you can afford a plane ticket, Bangkok to Siem Reap costs between about $89 to $150 each way and takes about an hour (from take off until landing, not door to door, but still that's a lot faster than overland transportation). AirAsia is the cheapest airline that flies this route (keep in mind they fly out of Don Mueang, not Suvarnabhumi, the latter being Bangkok's main airport). As is always the case with travel you have to decide whether you want to spend money to save time, or spend time to save money.
Can you go back to Cambodia and go to kandal
This isnt the direct bus?
Considering how cheap it is out there they could of upgraded things a bit..
Those bus drivers make deals with the shop owners. They get money to stop at certain stops.
how do you avoid things like lice on buses? im always scared about those
Live, cockroaches…you should not be traveling on these buses. Save money and wait until you have enough to fly or take a private car.
Ilove chicken pad Thai!!
Tbh I rather just fly haha
But great vlog,I thoroughly enjoyed the KL ones,keep up the excellent work :)
+Airplane _Spotters Flying is definitely more enjoyable! Haha thanks for watching!! :)
+Kara and Nate Haha thank you for your reply,please check out some of my flight reports too :)
reminds me when we cross the border from Israel to Palestine & back, no sweat
