Getting there & away
Sisophon is 48km east of Poipet, 105km west of Siem Reap, 61km south of Banteay Chhmar and 68km northwest of Battambang. In terms of driving time, it’s about midway between Bangkok and Phnom Penh (five or six hours from each).
Long-haul buses and most share taxis stop at the bus station (a new bus station is being built near the old one). Companies including Capitol Tour (012 525782), Rith Mony (012 637271) and Neak Kror Horm serve Phnom Penh (20, 000r), Siem Reap (15, 000r to 20, 000r), Battambang (8000r) and Poipet (5000r). Neak Kror Horm can get you to Bangkok. Most departures, except to Poipet, are early in the morning.
Share taxis link the bus station with Phnom Penh (30, 000r), Siem Reap (15, 000r to 20, 000r) and Battambang (10, 000r). Share taxis to Poipet (100r, one hour) stop on NH5 across the street from the Roeung Rong Hotel. Share taxis north to Thmor Puok and Banteay Chhmar leave from near Psar Thmei on NH69, 1km north of NH6. Private taxis cost six times the share taxi fare. A place on a pickup costs 50% less than a share taxi (30% less if you sit inside).
Pickups to Phnom Srok District (near Ang Trapeng Thmor Reserve) stop on NH6 near the Hanuman statue.
A moto ride around town costs 1000r.
