My sister also speaking Cambodia every will. For me not much.
There are buses from Giant Ibis Transport tat goes to Sime Riep. I had taken it before and it's US$35
Thanks for the video, knowledge is power in these border crossings. I did Phnom Penh to Bangkok via poi pet for 18USD through capitol buses about 10 years ago.
You got off the bus and queued hours to get through immigration. Got in hi-ace vans that flew on the Thai side, but dropped us in the middle of nowhere late in the evening in Bangkok. It was an all day affair. Asia does that sort of crap a lot. Hired cars with the family and did it again about 5years ago. The new processing center was heaps better, but hiring cars is expensive.
Sooo you paid 45 for the taxi
And how much for the tuk tuk?
45 for 4 peoples@@ScorpionX669
I'm currently in Seam reap and we got a ride from that guy in the Lexus. Once he started driving I pulled up your video and asked him if that was his car...he said yes and broke out in laughter, I told him he was a TH-cam star.😂
Thailand will miss you Chris..
Hope you enjoy Cambodia 🇰🇭.
Thank you so much! I will miss Thailand! 😭 I hope you enjoy the Cambodia videos!
Hi Christ, Sorry for all the hassle you and Gladys have to go through especially in Cambodia. Glad you arrive safe and sound to your destination. Well I wish you both an amazing adventure in Cambodia, hope you enjoy yourselves and please stay safe wherever you are. Cheers!
Hey, Chris. M new here. And m Cambodian. Sorry for all the inconvenience time to Cambodia with a very poor services. But I love how you react and researched before you traveling. How kinds you are. Have a safe travel and enjoy your journey with your partner. Welcome to Cambodia 🙏
Hey Chris! we (Thais) will miss u also brother! enjoyable video again! u can also get a big air-con bus to the Cambodian border too Aranyapradech (sorry for my spelling). More comfortable and convenient I use to take the trip there with my family back in the day for the casino. looking forward for more of your adventure and pls stay safe!
Great video!!! Really excited to follow ur trip through Cambodia. I have been enjoying all of your content. You have something special.
Man,THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! Iam from Brazil and you helped me so much!
Hi Chris, I wish you and girlfriend safe and fun in Cambodia. I watched every videos it’s very enjoyed like I travel with you. Thank you so much for share your journey.
We gonna miss you, thanks! for your kind words about Thailand.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you so much! Going to miss Thailand also! I hope you continue to enjoy my videos! ❤️🙏🏻
Nice, thanks for sharing! It is a great help. Plan to do this exact trip in October
Hey bro I have watched all your cambodia 🇰🇭 videos and it really inspired Me, last week went with my friend and it was awesome . Siem reap was an exotic place . Thnaks for your vlog
Thanks man
One of my favorite things about your videos is how your accent changes when you speak english to these people, as if doing your best Jackie Chan impression somehow makes you more understandable :) Maybe it does, I don't know. Thanks so much for posting!
Hey Chris, New subscriber. My name is Joe, I’m Cambodian. My last video I watched was u guys on the train to Cambodia. Can’t wait to see what u have in store for me. By the way, I love all ur videos from Thailand. Keep up the good work.
Hey Joe! Thank you so much bro! The videos from Cambodia will be so special as well! Please let me know in the comments what you think of each one! I'd love to know if I represent Cambodia well! 🙏🏻 first of many videos will come out tomorrow!
It was so amazing and your groups really a good example how to make a very tight budget and im insanely got impressed with that ninja moves..you've got...more power and Godbless on your every nation journies🥰
That was very informative, and like most Poi Pet border crossing videos I have seen, it is chaos, with determined travelers invariably getting hassled and screwed for their efforts.
I just checked and atm one can get a 1 hour direct flight from Don Mueang International in Bangkok to Siem Reap for $53, so that $1.50 + $45 taxi ride might have some competition.
🤔
Taxis and tuk tuks can often be a rip off in Thailand.
@@dexadrinepancake Border crossing are their own unique thing, but nowadays every large city in every Asian country I have traveled in has ride share apps where the price is set and paid for before the ride comes, that even includes riding on the back of motorbikes. Also, one can use the app to determine what price a foreigner should be paying for the destination.
Another great video Bro 📹 Chris
Thanks so much bro!
Such a useful video Chris. Unfortunately Poipet is not the best intro to Cambodia but once you get through it the rest of the country is really nice. The train is an excellent way to travel from Thailand to Cambodia and its so little known. Other than the price it allows you to get to the border early which is really useful. There is nothing else for $1.50. Public thai buses from Ekamai station are good too. As you cross the border just smile and politely refuse at any offer you get for visa and taxis and walk past the casinos till you get to the one visa office on the right side that issues one month visas - make sure your country is eligible for visa on arrival. Shared taxis are a good option ... but if you ask inside the casinos they should help you find buses to siem reap for much less.
Love your videos ❤️❤️❤️ Chris you are amazing 😍😍😊
Thank you so much bro! Coming to your country very very soon!
Good luck my bro, See you again 🇹🇭🇹🇭
Thanks so much bro! See you again soon! I hope you continue to enjoy the videos!
Very interesting For anyone wanting to do something similar So much important data Looking forward to your next videos I feel as if I am travelling even though home here in Taupo NZ,
I really appreciate this video
Keep trying my friend. May God keep you safe and found good things.
Thank you so much bro
hahaha awesome video, i was consider doing this on my next trip to Thailand. But now i know i will take airplane instead, hahaha thank you for doing this so we others dont 🤣🤣🤩🤩 Good video content!
Yes the plane is definitely worth it and cheap! I did this just to document the experience..... never again ahahha
wonderful video. thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
It's always great to see video on trains in a less explored region like Indochina.
Great vlog, thanks.
Thanks a lot Dave!
Take a casino bus from Lumpini Park at 6:00 am for about $5.00 (US). Ride in comfort for 3.5 hrs. get a free buffet upon arrival (in Cambodia).
Wow had no idea that was an option!
Man…..I was worry that they were gonna sell u🤪😂Enjoy, can’t wait to see more videos❤️
Yes so were we! Ahahah thanks so much Sandra! I hope you enjoy the Cambodia series!
Good info thanks !
I really sorry to see that Chris. Please enjoy your holiday in Cambodia .
I am so happy you both enjoy in my country
Thank you so much!
Man I am so sorry to see this happen to you..I hope you have a better experience in Cambodia.
Best of luck with adventures in Cambodia.
At major attractions in Cambodia There will be a group of children crowd you asking for money or trying to sell souvenirs. If you give money or buy something from a child, many other children will come and urge you. For taxi, there are common scams in Cambodia and Vietnam.
.
I'm looking forward to watching your Cambodian series. Good luck from Thailand.
Awwww…Thailand will miss you too! Thank you for a proper goodbye. Some youtubers (only some) just hopped on to the next countries like they don’t care.
Wow, you are excited easily. I thought I was late in going to Cambodia in the early 90s. Quick tip that I learnt in 1989 on my first trip to SEA: don't talk to anyone approaching you on the street. How did people ever travel without the internet???
I’m an Aussie who’s lived in Cambodia for a few years and It’s cool to see someone look at it in new eyes.
Thanks for the support!
คุณทั้งสองยอดเยี่ย พอดูคลิปนี้ เดินทางลำบากอยู่ยังงัยก็เดินทางปอดภัยทั้งสอง เทื่ยวให้สนุกถ่ายคลิปเยอะๆมาฝากเราทุกคนที่ได้ดูต่างคุณ 👍
Thanks so much for watching Soni
I live near Phnom Penh great to have you visit
Thank you so much! So many amazing videos from Cambodia on the way!
I am thinking about visiting Pnom Phen. How much would you estimate a monthly cost of living there?
❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️🇰🇭Thank for visiting Cambodia 🇰🇭🙏
Chris, I have just watched this video. Thank you very much! However, I am sorry for your experience with the taxi ride. I want to do the same way to Krong Siemp Reap in June this year and wanted to ask if there is a direct bus from the boarder? Thanks!
God bless ,being brave is awesome!! , BE safe !!
Thanks a lot John!
I recently found ur channel and subscribed. Could have been same interest content or other vlogger recommended regardless wanted to check out "nomadic"that you referenced. If i can't find my bad due to my ignorance but it sure seems like vloggers in general say they will provide link but never do. You will be way ahead of your competition by just following thru with what was promised.
I totally forgot to, will add it now. I've just had so much going on and edited this a few days ago
The Thorn Tree forum run by Lonely Planet was the go to for travel. Most of the info you could find there was posted by budget traveller's.
Rough?? You should have done it 19 years ago.
This is the same driver Mr Rộng sending me from Siem Reap to Poipet regularly . I been paying 45 USD each way too . He is a good n careful driver on the road , only thing he can’t speak English nor Thai
Welcome to Cambodia bro😊
Nice vlog dear ❤️❤️❤️🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
It is so convenient that they set up a place to print what is necessary.
Hi..Chris....
I think I saw you at Bangkok this few days ......did you went to jodd fair last Saturday ? And today you at Iconsiam? 🤔😁
Welcome bro 😄
Thank you so much!
thank you sir for this informative video 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you sir!
Hey Chris , where are you coming from Thai land on that cheap train that took you guys to Cambodia? And is it in Seam Reap where you got the train? Thanks
Do not trust anyone, recommend finding a tour guide. For your safety in this country
Yes definitely !
I'll be your free tour guide lots of expat forum also no need to pay for that
Just some cases Cambodia definitely safer than Thailand. I got scammed in Thailand several times.
Don’t even compare Thailand with Cambodia we all know Cambodia is more safe
I never get scammed in Thailand, but been to Cambodia twice and got scammed twice. After that I also found out that there is some term on internet called "Scambodia", apparently lots of people got scammed in Cambodia.. and there are many ways like taxi or massage or even on the street. Cambodia is famous about these things
I’m going to cambodia next month as a female solo traveler. I’m looking at my option for going from thailand and cambodia and I think I will fly 😅 when you were being followed and had to switch to a tuk tuk I was so nervous, I dont think this would be safe for me while alone. Thanks for this video it helped so much!
I just watched a very recent You Tube from Global Travel Mate as they flew Air Asia to Siem Reap so look for that and suggest follow.
@@britlooking thank you!
It’s a $100 or cheaper for a ticket on Air Asia from Bangkok Don Mueang Airport to Siem Reap. It’s an hour flight.
I will be going from Bangkok to Cambodia will be there 16 JUNE STAY SAFE
@@maryedwards1674Recommend ziplining and Malis Restaurant (delicious mango salad, baked fish, sour beef sausage, and palm fruit dessert). June is also in season for durian and other fruits if you like them. Highly recommend you fly from Siem Reap to Sihanoukville and go to Koh Rong Sanloem and stay at Lazy Beach Bungalow at least for a few nights. Stay longer if you can. Great beach there and you can see luminescent planktons along the beach just several feet from your bungalow.

Need help .. I want to travel solo from Bangkok to Cambodia by train...
Can you please tell me From where you bought the train ticket in Cambodia??
And kindly mention the time of all train...
Another thing is I want on arrival visa...
Is that sticker visa?
And which documents should I show to immigration???
Thanks....
Hello👋 Thanks for the video, i got an idea how to cross the border for a cheaper transpo! I wanna ask if it is possible to come back to thailand within that day that you cross the border? Thank you😊
I have been to Siemreap many time I chosse go by plane cause not tried and take short time but if you go by train from Aranyapathet to Poipet you will tried trip long tiime to Seimreap.
Wow that’s very good
Yes extremely affordable and easy!
Hi, very informative video, i just have one question... so i am planning to go from Bangkok to Cambodia through train in this way but i am confused about what to show during my Thailand on arrival visa process where i will have to show the departure ticket from the country, so what did you show in that during visa on arrival process since you didn't book any train in advance... Thank you
To be honest, I didn't get asked for an exit flight at all! Just tell the people at the check in counter that you're leaving by land!
Hi Buddy what documents do i have to prepare for clearing the immigration crossing border?thanks tips
I would love that route. I´ve had a life time, of roughing the Campesino buses in Panama. I would consider that option.
Yes you should check it out! Its worth the adventure!
there is airconditioner bus from bangkok to aranya-pratate but perhaps 400-500baht // all provinces in thailand can be reached by aircon bus// In your case, if the immigration is at the train station then train is excellent for the trip
How?
@@JoyAlarcon02 Go buy a ticket at the Bangkok Bus Terminal (Mo Chit 2) near Wachirabenjatit Park in Bangkok.
Hey Chris, thanks for making this video! I’m thinking of doing a Singapore-Thailand-Cambodia trip in March. I was in Poipet two last weeks ago and the taxi drivers are aggressive! I gave into a driver after being followed for 20 minutes and paid $42 for 3 people from Poipet to Battambang which I felt was a rip but whatever. I’ve gotta be travel savvy next time around.
Did you pay anything else after you got dropped off from the tuk tuk ride?
in Cambodia is weird , some of them are scamming you like a water bottle for locals is 50 cent but the same bottle for tourists is 1 dollars I think this is unfair
This is so true I live in poipet and the tuktuks and taxi drivers are so aggressive they tried to scam me even though I was a little kid and I'm not even foreign 💀
single travel cheaper to just fly then love the content love channel rich
Yes next time I'm flying
12:30 that's our casino i work there.. 😂😂 new subscriber here. 😂😂
How many hours to reach at the Cambodia Border ??
Hi Chris new to this channel so im late in saying this to you. but 45 dollers for 4 peopel in a private taxi is very good. the actual price for one person to Siem reap is about 10-12 bucks. anyways enjoyed your videos, you have found a new sub
hey bro, do you know the time if you ride the train going back to bangkok? and if coming from suvrabani aiport how to catch the first train what station to go?
excellent
Thanks so much!
Haha, Gladys at 14:09
@Travelwithchris
how u changed between the two train stations and how much u charged for train to reach border station cambodia????
please respond
I didn't change , it was one train all the way to the border lol watch the full video
Can you please tell how did you get from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh?
I'm all about an adventure. I'd have gotten that taxi to take me to the airport. Do you have a friend or family member with access to your account? That way if something happens to you guys, we can deal with it. Good luck and safe journeys. 👋 Gladys
Oh I can imagine my partner would not be too please with that experience. Are there any legitimate services from the border to Siem Reap in the end?
About 3-4 month thailand have new railtrain you go by train fast to double of time.
Wow!!! I can't wait to come back to try that one! Sounds amazing!
you gonna miss Thailand 😊
Yes I will miss it so much!
Hi , I'm from Australia want to stay in Thailand around 50 days. Is it ok just to arrive on a 30 day visa you get at the airport ? PS Arriving at Don Munag Airport in Bangkok.
Grateful we are visa fee as a filipino 😂. Soooo from arrival to ban klung luk border, you can just walk a few blocks away from the bus station right?
Im visiting Thailand from Australia soon nearly 50 day trip. I was told i should book a trip out of the country just incase im questioned at the airport. If so , any idea if i can book this train trip online ? Ps i will check out the insurance link in the bio. I need to get some insurance anyway lol.
I am planning to visit cambodia and then cross land border to visit Vietnam? what should I show as return ticket to Cambodia immigration?
Bro you can rent an rpg in cambodia at a place called Thunder Ranch. It's an older rpg-2 tho and not the rpg-7 like in video games. You can fire the 7 if you pay a little more tho its usually not listed so you gotta ask. I payed about $200 per rocket
😂😂😂 what!!? That is insane bro! I would love to try that! I shot some rpgs when I was in the army and it was wild!
Wow saw this on other videos too. I am curious if they do that to Thai and Khmer nationals
Not sure to be honest!
Retracing the movements of the Royal Thai Army on it's way to clash with Vichy French troops amassed throughout Northwest Cambodia in 1940. I'm referring to the Franco-Thai War of 1940-1941. For a couple of months, around 80 years ago, battles were fought in and around the towns of Seam Reap, Sisophon, and Battambang. The French were victorious at the Battle of Koh Chang (a naval battle), Japan intervened, and an armistice was brokered that favored Thailand - the war ended. Here's an excerpt from Wiki regarding some of the fighting:
"At dawn on January 16, 1941, the French launched a large counterattack on the Thai-held villages of Yang Dang Khum and Phum Preav, initiating the fiercest battle of the war. Due to poor coordination and nonexistent intelligence against the entrenched and well-prepared Thai forces, the French operation was stopped and fighting ended with a French retreat from the area. However, the Thais were unable to pursue the retreating French, as their forward tanks were kept in check by the gunnery of French Foreign Legion artillery."
Do you need an ongoing ticket to enter Cambodia? Vietnam or Laos? Do you need to show that you've booked a hotel room? BTW, I think unvaxxed can take an antigen test on arrival.
No, you do not need it!
FYI they want USD and the best place to exchange Baht or Dong is at Gold Shops through black market for the best rates. But....They did accept Dong because my USD bill weren't perfect. If you are using USD in Cambodia make sure they are clean with no marks or damage or you will be denied at most places. Travel on!
Bro can I ask you did you enter thailand on visa exemption? If so can you leave thailand and go to Malaysia for 3 days and just comeback to thailand or do you need some kind of pass?
This is just for visa exempt not for tourist visa.
I have no idea, I had a tourist visa and extended it for $60 🤓
@@Travelwithchris thanks buddy

WHAT VACCINE CARD ? -- DOES CAMBODIA REQUIRE IT (?) OR WAS IT TAILAND ?
Not suprising at Poipet. I love Cambodia; and go there twice a year for business. In November 2019 I took a visa run through Poipet; the most miserable experience in Cambodia I ever experienced (and I have travelled much of the country). Our 8 hour bus ride to Poipet ended up 12 hours; causing us to miss the 9:pm deadline. Then was ripped off by tuk tuk driver; who then took me to a "good" hotel (I had expected to cross the border that night). The hotel was awful, and charged me twice the rate of Phnom Penh - and twice the rate the hotel normally charged (the rates were posted right on his desk !). This was obviously to pay off the tuk tuk driver - who came in with me to cash in on the scam. I call Poipet the "toilet bowl" of Cambodia !
Hi, in this border acepted the evisa?
Hang a left off that main street just after the casino road. Find a room there and have them help you with a cab the next day. I think we paid $8 a night for an AC room. I enjoyed Poi Pet.
Dang sound awesome!
Welcome to my birth country bro,I’m going there on the 16th next month too 😁
Sorry for your bad experience 😂 I feel ashamed but it’s is what it is, just be careful and take care bro
Incredible how this form of transportation can be so affordable.
Yes crazy! Only $1.25 ! Absolutely insane!
Where buy the ticket from bangkok to Aranyaprathet?
