(Both times I went overland to SR.) The boat was more interesting than the plane, especially the contrast between Vietnam and Cambodia immediately apparent on crossing the border. Many people are worried about the cost and I think that the trade off between time being able to walk around and the higher cost of the plane ticket vs a bus is worth the cost

Gateway To Angkor Wat - Siem Reap Cambodia - Gateway To Angkor Wat
Lots of people also rave about poolside bar and Palm garden cafe at Aspara Siem Reaps, but we stayed at the Sokha Angkor Hotel, which has an amazing salt water pool and a very friendly staff. If you started in the capital Phnom Penh, the road is paved and smooth and there are several regularly scheduled daily buses in both directions, taking only 5 or 6 hours
We can arrange a pick up from the border if sufficient notice is given, however we only offer a pick up to our customers who are using our Angkor tours.

boat from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap - Siem Reap Forum - TripAdvisor
The bus certainly is the budget option and few things can be as dull as a 5 hour bus trip, but the boat is just as long a journey and not a much better option in my experience. the boat from PP to SR in March 2011 is not luxurious, it does not offer much more of a visual treat than the coach, is vastly more expensive than the coach and there is a just a small chance that it might capsize and kill you
Air travelAir travel is of course the fastest way to travel, but you will spend more time going to and from the airports than in the air, since the distance is so short. These can be fantastic trips giving you the opportunity to view life on the lake, floating houses, working fishermen, and to get a sun-tan if you choose to sit on the roof of the boat
One-month visas are available at Cambodian embassies, and much more conveniently, on arrival at the international airports in Siem Reap and Phnom Penh as well as at most overland international border crossings with Thailand, Vietnam and Laos. The Angkor Park is 4 kilometers from town and the temples inside the park are as much as 3-4 kilometers apart, ordinarily requiring some sort of transportation to tour
Review: Giant Ibis buses, Phnom Penh-Siem Reap
The seats were actually bunk beds which was great for sleeping, but bottom row is floor level and extra bus crew slept in the narrow hallway snoring and elbowing my boyfriend all night. stay save all Reply Lina says: February 23, 2015 at 12:54 am Hi Davie, did you check your credit card bill to see if you were charged for a one-way or return ticket? Reply Selina says: February 19, 2015 at 10:39 am Hey guys, unfortunately we had a really bad experience with giant ibis
How to get from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap (and vice versa)
These are certainly the most comfortable of all of the current mini-bus types currently on the road in Cambodia, with larger padded seats than the Ford Transits. Mey Hong Transport (formerly Apsara) is the most popular company, with comfortable mini buses equipped with seat belts going between Phnom Penh and Siem Reap four times daily
They were very persistent, telling us that cars can't go into Siem Reap (they can), they didn't know the hotel, etc., but we simply said we wouldn't pay until we were at our hotel. Make sure you get an idea of where the buildings are located (Wikitravel has a handy map, and seat61.com shows pictures of the buildings) so you don't end up in one of the tout zones
Siem Reap: Phnom Penh To Siem Reap By Bus - TripAdvisor
If you are trying to connect from Vietnam from somewhere other than HCMC it can be awkward as the 'system' is not set up for this and the suggestion is that you spend a night in Phnom Penh. If you are a real traveller then avoid teh VIP bus, chances are that if you take a usual bus you will get to sit next to some real Khmers which in has always been more interesting in good ways than sitting next to a tourist
