Seeing as we have such a comfortable hotel (we can even afford it) and our flight to Bangkok doesn't take off until 17:00 odd on the 18th, we've decided to stay on an extra night in Siem Reap and take the bus to the capital on the day.
We usually travel back the day before, find cheap digs and then kill off a whole day in town (easy enough) but this time we'll go the whole distance in Siem. The bus can take up to 7 hours but yesterday we checked out some options and we can pick up a quick mini bus that goes non-stop (they usually incorporate at least one break en route) all the way in around five hours.
We can leave at 09:00 and be in town by 14:00 (ish) which leaves us ample time to grab a tuk-tuk to the airport for our afternoon flight.
Prices vary for the bus (the cheapest we found was $5/person but this was a standard coach) but there was one express minibus at $9 which sounds ideal and so we'll be booking that up after we sort out our visa.
