A car to take you there, wait around and come back will probably be only $30- $40. I would advise against taking a tuk tuk for the reasons I stated earlier and anyway the price will likely not be any cheaper.

Please don't consider me impudent but I still have the other half of the question that I'm curious about - the bus station. In Ho Chi Minh City the back of the map showed bus routes which was absolutely invaluable in getting around (although admittedly it was for travel within the city - it's a much bigger city though). I'm looking for similar info here whatever way I can happen to find it (I don't read Khmer), perhaps even an online resource on bus transport around Phnom Penh (I think that's the correct spelling this time). I was very grateful for all the suggestions for parks.

Thank you for reading.
Is this what you are looking for ?

That is really good info to know. I use a couple of those routes already and I'll tally the rest with the map to see where we can get to.

Bus info is difficult to come by in many places. I remember traveling solo in India a little over fifteen year ago and trying to find a way to leave New Delhi on public transport (heading North). Everybody kept pointing me to travel agents but I'd just read 'As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning' (Laurie Lee) and wanted to experience the spontaneity of the place. I had no real experience of Asia then and being in my early twenties and alone, it was tough. I think I took three buses to get to an interstate station (one of which dropped me at the city limits for reasons which I still can't fathom). That was a confusing experience, but definitely a very real one, and the interstate bus had some colourful characters on it.

I'll have another go at finding tourist info and have a look at the bus stations I can find on the map (see if which of them are long distance and where we can get to). Thank you for your replies.
