Getting to Sihanoukville and Southern Cambodia

Phnom Penh and Koh Kong are the primary gateways to Sihanoukville and southern Cambodia. From Phnom Penh, most people travel by bus, taxi or motorcycle to one or more of the most popular southern cities - Sihanoukville, Kampot and Kep. There are several daily buses between Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville. The international border crossings at 1) Had Lek, Thailand/Koh Kong, Cambodia; 2) Xaxia, Vietnam/Prek Chak, Cambodia ('Ha Tien') and; 3) Tinh Bien, Vietnam/Phnom Den, Cambodia all allow international overland access to southern Cambodia. The Had Lek/Koh Kong crossing allows easiest access to Sihanoukville as it is a long-established crossing and regular transportation between Sihanoukville and Koh Kong are also well established (ferry or road.) The 'Ha Tien' crossing with Vietnam is now open and allows direct and easy access between Kampot and Vietnam. See the Overland Border Crossing page for details about overland travel from Thailand and Vietnam to Sihanoukville and southern Cambodia.
