Angkor - Phnom Penh River Trip

The distance between Siem Reap and Phnom Penh is only a couple hundred miles, but there's no easy way to get there. Roads are bad and plane tickets expensive, so we chose to go by boat. It takes a bit longer, but the sights along the way are well worth the trip. Not that there was anything spectacular, but it was an interesting way to see the Cambodian countryside and life along the river.

Atop the "speed" boat.

Some pictures along the way.


This boat came out to pick up passengers that got off about half way to Phnom Penh.

Be sure to use the bathroom at your hotel before you begin this 6 hour river journey.


Here's a quick video.
