Cambodia | Laos to Cambodia On A Bus

Posted on by Karen
Cambodia | Laos to Cambodia On A Bus I am going to preface this article by saying I quite like travelling overland on a bus. Yes they can be hot and slow, and usually don't stop enough for pee breaks but travelling on a bus really gives you an insight to the country and its people...in my opinion its a far more 'real' way to travel.
