• What is the most unexpensive option (taxi, Uber...)

• How do I hire that option

• How much will that cost

• How long will it take

• Should I be concerned about security somehow?

I need to get from PP to Battambang by car mid of January. Of course I don't want to drive myself. I'd like to know:

• What is the most unexpensive option (taxi, Uber...)

• How do I hire that option

• How much will that cost

• How long will it take

• Should I be concerned about security somehow?

And any other information I might be overlooking but is important.

Thanks in advance!

Inexpensive option is the bus, taxi figure around $70 or so but not sure 100%

Air conditioning, Wi Fi for most of the trip except where Telco dead spots. Terminates in centre of Battambang at the post office, unlike large buses that have to stop outside of the city and you transfer to a tuk tuk or motodop for last bit.

Or take the twice-weekly train if you have a day to waste.

I use this service regularly.

If you take a bus, be sure not to take a Virak Buntham bus. Here's why.
