I'm not afraid of flying but nevertheless I've made a lot of overland
travelling and it's a wonderful experience you can't compare with just
flying to a destination.
Think you'll get a real interesting trip with that itinerary.
Just one thing, possibly you know already that landmines are a threat in
Cambodia so be careful when being outside the cities, don't walk where it's
not complete safe. Good luck with the trip

From Phnom Penh to Saigon, buses : 10 hours or more, bus station 155
Nguyen Hue av., book 2-3 days in advance, get your visa before.

From Phnom Penh to Seam Reap, fast boats (5 hours) and slow boats
(18-24 h) harbour on the Tonle Sap 5 or 6 house blocks north of the
Phnom hill.

From Seam Reap regular buses to Thailand.

Will hopefully be sorting out visas well in advance. Is it a
requirement to book 2-3 days in advance?
