Transportation
I
went from Phnom Penh to Vietnam by river. You can do it in reverse -- Delta
Adventure Tours in HCMC (or any other travel agent or hotel, probably) sells
either a three-day tour of the Mekong ending up in Phnom Penh, or a quicker
two-day version. To take the boat without a tour (which is what we did, but
coming from Cambodia), you would need to hop a bus to Chau Doc, then boat from
there.
I did the 3-day landcrossing in August with Delta Adventure Tours
http://www.deltaadventuretour.com/.
The first day is sightseeing in the Mekong Delta. The 2nd day was a bit boring,
with 5 hours on a noisy boat - make sure you take a book. The company will hit
you for extra costs along the way - eg breakfast at the hotel where they get
commission. Dinner the 2nd night at their hotel, where there is no other shops
for miles etc. Overall great way to get to Cambodia.
If travelling from
Phnom Penh up to Siem Reap, take the bus and book 2 seats ($8) and enjoy the 6-7
hour journey, heaps cheaper than the boat, and more
comfortable!n
