bus trip from KL to PP, doable?

Do you have a Cambodian trip report you want to share? Post it here, and feel free to link to your blog if it's a travel blog for Cambodia, South East Asia, or anywhere really. You can ask and answer questions about travel advice in Cambodia or just share your pictures and videos with us. Most people who live in or visit Cambodia have also checked out nearby countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, and you can get to most of these countries by traveling overland, so put any travel plans, reviews or questions here. Discussions about dirt bike trails in here as well.

Post by Big B »

Anyone used coach transportation from Pudu bus station in KL to PP in Cambodia?

Would i be better spending a few nights in Thailand en-route?

Apparently, if the foreigners can get agreement and paperwork from both countries they may pass over the border crossings.

Yes but only in exceptional circumstances, authorisation needs to be applied for in advance from the relevant Ministries of the respective countries.

Apparently, because I know of a foreign person (Westerner) who was allowed to return to his residence in Thailand via the Poi Pet/Aranyaprathet crossing, with his motorcycle.

That’s one person and certainly not the norm. It’s not advice for general foreign visitors, as is this case.

Admittedly so, the OP's question was "anyone used coach transportation?" your answer was "land borders are shut", "true unless". Also, talking of coach transportation, would you like to give the reason why the coach from Vietnam arrives at its destination in Phnom Penh daily.
