About the ride from Battambang to Sihanoukville

Get ready for a cultural and culinary treat at Battambang - Cambodia’s second-largest city and a town of ancient temples, brilliant green paddy fields, and lip-smacking street food. An excellent way to explore the region is by renting a kayak and paddling down the river. A walking tour gives you a chance to appreciate the area’s French colonial architecture and, for a fun time, ride the bamboo train.

The coastal town of Sihanoukville is a heady mix of lazy beach days and party nights. Ochheuteal Beach is one of the most popular hangout spots in town. Take the ferry to serene Bamboo Island for a day of white sand beaches, lush mangrove forests, and the chance to spot a variety of wildlife. Otres Beach is a must-visit while in Sihanoukville - take a late-night walk for a fantastic opportunity to see bioluminescent plankton. 

The distance from Battambang to Sihanoukville is around 290 miles (470 km), and it takes about 12-13 hours to cover the distance. You can choose to travel by bus, minivan or private car.

Those taking the sleeper bus will get enough time to rest so that when you arrive in Sihanoukville, you will be rested and ready to explore the beach town to its fullest.

How to get from Battambang to Sihanoukville

Taking a bus

Buses are, probably, the most popular way to travel to Sihanoukville from Battambang. Given the twelve to thirteen hour journey, the sleeper buses that depart from Battambang in the evening offer a time-saving way to cover this distance.

Air conditioning, flatbeds, blankets, and pillows provided by the operator make the ride a comfortable one. And with ticket prices starting from $22 per person, they are also the cheapest option available. The buses stop at Phnom Penh or Siem Reap, and passengers might have to shift to a different bus. While the buses themselves don’t have attached restrooms, they make stops along the way. 

 

Taking a minivan

Minivans are another mode of transportation available to cover this route. The minivans have around three departures during the day. You can even book a private minivan if you are traveling as part of a bigger group (ideal for up to 8 to 12 passengers), allowing you more flexibility in terms of departure time. The minivans are air conditioned, have cushioned seats, and take around twelve hours to reach Sihanoukville. 

 

Hiring a private car/taxi 

For those who need a lot of flexibility in travel or just prefer a little more space and privacy, booking a private taxi might be the best option. The Standard Car option is perfect for solo travelers or couples who don’t mind paying a little extra for the comfort and convenience that a private ride affords.
