How to get to Kep from Phnom Penh

Bus: To/From Phnom Penh: Via paved and in comparative good condition National Highway No 3 from Phnom Penh to Kampot and from there additional 25km to Kep. This road is more recommendable than the alternative National Highway No 2 leading to National Highway No 3 via Takeo province. For more information, please see Tours Indochina Cambodia
 The buses to Kampot departure each day at 7:30am and midday around 1:15pm from the central bus station near the central market (Sorya Bus Company; No 168). You may also take a bus directly to Kep taking National Highway No 2 and for the last strip Major Road No 31, which is a little bumpy. The prices with a usual old air-con bus for both ways are around US$4 per a person and trip. The trip usually takes approx. 4-5h. To go back to Phnom Penh you just have to contact your guesthouse in Kep and they?ll organize everything for you with pleasure. Mini-bus: Cambodia Post runs a daily mini-bus from Phnom Penh to Kep at 7:30 a.m. that leaves from the Phnom Penh main Post Office. The cost is $8 for non-Cambodians and the trip takes just under four hours. We are fans of the Cambodia Post VIP van (read our review of it here) and would recommend this way of traveling to Kep. Tickets can be booked online in advance. Cambodia travel tours

Taxi: A private taxi to Kep costs between $40 and $50 from Phnom Penh. Taxis are the standard Toyota Camry which can seat four passengers, but there’s usually limited space for luggage because they all have a propane tank in the trunk, so don’t plan to bring four massive suitcases with you. The trip takes around 3.5 hours. Taxis can be booked through your guesthouse, or if you’d like to reserve one in advance, you can book a taxi online. Shared taxi: You can catch a shared taxi at Psar Dang kor in Phnom Penh. The cost is usually $5 per person, but the front seat counts as two. You’ll have to wait until the car is full before it will leave, and full means at least seven passengers (plus the driver). Frankly, we see no reason to take shared taxis other than the desire to have an “authentic experience.”
