Cambodia, Vietnam launch direct bus route to Angkor temples
Phnom Penh - Vietnamese company Saigon Passenger Transport Company (Sapaco Tourist) is launching a new luxury bus service from the Vietnamese capital Ho Chi Minh direct to Cambodia's northern tourism hub of Siem Reap, a company spokesman said Friday.
The new nine-hour, 500-kilometre trip cuts hours off the former route through the Cambodian capital and is just the latest in a stream of Vietnamese tourism investments in Cambodia as its travel industry booms, according to the Tourism Ministry.
The new route, which crosses into Cambodia through Vietnam's southern Tay Ninh Province, launches Monday and one-way tickets will cost 24 dollars, Sapaco's spokesman said.
Siem Reap's Angkor Wat temple is Cambodia's largest tourism attraction, bringing in the bulk of the country's more than 2 million visitors last year, and the route is expected to prove especially popular with budget travellers, the company predicted.

24 dollars one way seemed to be fair price.
Kampongcham is another gateway for the tourists.
I think 24 dollars is too high, unless they served breakfast and lunch on the bus. We definitely need more competition.
Ankor Watt is not fucking belong to Ah Youn Vietnamese let the goat face stop in Phnom Penh at lease 1to 2 hours so Phnom Penh tourist can benefit from the service too!
Well, without Yuon Ankor Watt would have belong to the Thai by now.
