P.P to SHV - best travel time

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

I have done the trip many times in lots of vehicles. Some days the road is virtually empty but I would never attempt a record run. It’s just too dangerous. Someone just set a 27 hour Cannonball Run record during the lockdown. The two previous record holders said it was the record and that’s it. A mate of mine set a record 40 years ago from Auckland to Wellington. It was 6 hours or so, he did it several times in two different Bathurst Monaros under five hours I think. I must ask him.

I knew a guy who did the SHV run in just under an hour. He's no longer around.

I've done it in about 1:45 from TTP to Golden Lions, and I wasn't trying for any special time, and didn't exceed 160km/ph at any time.

That was 2014.

But it's a shit road. I'd rather travel via Kampot anytime.
