🛵 From the Bus Stop to Nesat Village

Once you’ve arrived at the bus station, you can easily find a local motorbike taxi to take you to Nesat Village. Rides take 30 minutes and cost approximately $5 USD.

If you’re travelling in a group, a tuk-tuk is an ideal option and can be arranged in advance through your guesthouse. We recommend letting them know your arrival time at least one hour in advance to avoid waiting—approximately 10usd. 

 

  • By Shared Minivan /Taxi from Phnom Penh

For a cheaper and more direct option, you can take a shared minivan/ taxi from Phnom Penh to Nesat Village. Unlike the bus, the shared minivan /taxi will drop you off directly in the village — no additional transfers needed.

One taxi leaves daily from a location near Depot Market in Phnom Penh.
