If all you want to do is see the major sites, I%26#39;d say 1-1/2 full days in Phnom Penh and 3 in Siem Reap. Use the other half of your second day in PP to travel.

We had 2 full days in PP and 4 days in SR and that seemed about right for us.

Happy %26amp; safe travels

We just got back and on limited time so we did PP in 1 full day with Driver and Car only missed the National Museum ( we had had enough) had dinner on a boat we hired through the Hotel $ 15 and ~$15 for dinner( brought own wine)

Siem Reap 3 full days.Loved Siem Reap.

Dont spend too much time, in PP, Siem Reap at least 3 days.

hi just like last post ,we will be coming from bangkok to siem reap for 4 days but we want to see killing fields etc in phnom penh for the day is this possible.Are there plenty of trips to phone penh and what is the price that we would be looking at.I see it takes around 4 hours by road correct,any help please

Buses run morning and afternoon and take 4 + hrs with a 15 minute comfort stop half way.

The Mekong Express bus is probably the best one with a snack and water served on board. Tickets are about US$12.

Sorry, forgot to add S21 museum is a must and can be seen in the same day with the Killing Fields. Both a very chilling experience.

thanks for that can you get a guide from siem reap with car to phonm penh to do this in a day and cost cheers

Do you mean can you hire a guide in Siem Reap to travel with you by car to Phnom Penh and then guide you there?

You can, but it would cost WAY more than you need to be paying. You%26#39;d have to pay their expenses while in PP and their travel back to Siem Reap.

Much simpler/cheaper to hire a taxi from Siem Reap (if you have an aversion to the bus) Your guide or hotel in Seim Reap can arrange it. Then hire a tour guide in Phnom Penh to take you around, if you feel you need one.

A good tour guide in PP is Thary

Forgot to mention that by car or by bus, the time is about the same, plan 4-5 hours.
