Practical tips
The situation can change. Before planning an overland trip between Thailand and Cambodia, check your government's travel advice and the official e-Visa website, evisa.gov.kh.
Many travel blogs still describe buses between Bangkok and Cambodia via Poipet or Koh Kong. That information dates from before June 2025.
Cambodia's land borders with Vietnam (Bavet) and Laos (Tropaeng Kreal) were open and accepted the Cambodian e-Visa in October 2026.
The journey experience
Until June 2025, this trip could be made overland. Since then, the land crossings between Thailand and Cambodia have been suspended, and the UK Foreign Office advises against all but essential travel within 20 km of the border (checked on 8 October 2026).
Today, the practical way to travel from Siem Reap to Bangkok is by plane: flights take 1h05–1h15, from €89 (typical up to €99).
If you read about a direct bus on an older blog or forum, that information is out of date.
