Aranyaprathet, 255 km from
Bangkok, is just 15 km from the Cambodian border post at Poiphet from where buses run to
Siem Reap and
Battambang for the Cambodian train to
Phnom Penh.
See the Cambodia page
for information about onward bus transport to
Phnom Penh & Seam Reap (for the
Angkor Wat temples) in
Cambodia, and about onwards bus transport from
Phnom Penh to
Saigon in
Vietnam. Trains 275-280 have
3rd class seats, but Thai 3rd class is quite clean and comfortable, and in fact a very pleasant way to travel. Train 279/280 is a diesel railcar.
