Angkor Wat Travel Forum

1)Does any one know how late the Mekong Express Bus office in Phenom Phen says open on Sunday nights, I will not arrive in Phenom Phen until 7 pm.Planning on taking the bus out to Siem Reap noon the next day.
2)Do they still have the 12:30 PM bus to Siem Reap going out every day??

Does any one know how late the office at Ankor Wat stays open to buy a temple pass? I am assuming the bus will not get there until 5-6 PM, do I have time to buy a pass that night for the next morning?

Thanks for the help.

I don't know the office hours, but you could try phoning the PP office on 427518. I'm not sure of the country/area codes.
As far as I know, the lunchtime bus is still running, best bet, if you can't call them, is to ask your hotel as soon as you arrive about making the booking for you. Or, if you are staying in the Sisowarth Quay area, go to their office first thing on Monday. It's a shame that you don't have a bit more time to spend in PP, as there are a few interesting things to see.
On the back of my temple pass, there is mention that Angkor Wat visiting hours are 5.30 am to 5.30 pm. I also read in Lonely Planet that if you enter the monuments after 5pm, you get a free sunset, as the ticket starts from the following day.
Mind you, after spending 5 hours on the bus, you might just want to get to your hotel & relax!

Hi Betska. Do Mekong Express have a web site? It would be helpful.

btw I think the free sunset is after 4.30 pm for Angkor. I will check the time that I bought my temple pass. It was late in the afternoon but well before 5.

More to come, watch this space :)

Funny enough, eggboy, the website printed on my bus ticket, takes you to a sham website that is absolutely no help whatsoever!

So try this instead:

It may be a little out of date re prices etc. but that's the best that I can find. The latest LP guide may have a better link.

I've just noticed also an email address on my ticket:

mekongexprees@citylink.com.kh

Spelling mistake intended. That's what is printed!

Good luck.

That link worked well thanks.
