What’s the experience like?

Our driver showed up right on time at our hotel lobby—no waiting around, just a quick hello and we were off. The city was already buzzing outside, but inside the car it felt calm and cool. I noticed the seats were spotless, and there was this faint scent of lemon from the air freshener swinging by the dashboard. We settled in as he navigated through the early morning traffic, heading straight for the expressway.

Once we hit the open road, everything changed. The city noise faded away, replaced by stretches of green fields and glimpses of water buffalo grazing near small villages. Our driver didn’t speak much English, but he smiled often and made sure we were comfortable—he even checked if we wanted to stop for a quick restroom break at one of those little roadside stations with tiled floors and local snacks stacked by the counter.

The whole trip took about three hours, though I’d heard it can be longer during holidays when everyone’s heading out of town. I appreciated not having to worry about tolls or finding a taxi at either end; he dropped us right at our guesthouse in Sihanoukville. It was simple, easy, and honestly felt like the least stressful part of our journey so far.
