• By Public Bus + Moto or Tuk Tuk

One of the most budget-friendly ways to reach Nesat Village is by taking a public bus and finishing the journey with a short transfer by motorbike or tuk-tuk. Bus tickets can be booked online via www.camboticket.com or through the VET app.

If you’re coming from Koh Kong, book a bus to Phnom Penh, Sihanoukville, or Kampot. Then, buy a ticket to Srae Ambel. 

First bus stop option: Srae Ambel Bridge

Let the driver know you’d like to hop off after the bridge at this location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/af6DKUQRVDmZaRJD6.
This spot is commonly used for a short 20-minute rest stop, so drivers are usually familiar with it.

Second bus stop option: Boeung Preav/Bus Station NESAT BEACH

Let the driver know you’d like to get off at Boeung Preav/Bus Station NESAT BEACH. You can show them this pin:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/gaCJGBuELRfvh8jV7. Most drivers will recognise it once shown on the map. THIS IS THE CLOSER OPTION.

🛵 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 20- 40 minutes, depending on which bus station you’re dropped off at.

If you’re travelling in a group, a tuk-tukk 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.

  • By Shared Taxi from Koh Kong City

Shared taxis are another cheap option. However, the journey can take a little bit longer since the shared taxis may make several stops along the way to pick up or drop off passengers or goods.
