Watch out for the expedited visa scam. It cost my buddy 500 baht because they were intentionally taking their time. After crossing, he took a shared-taxi from the town to Siem Reap. Lots of scammers in the border town so watch out.

He took his route from the Tales of Asia website. Here is the link:

I am planning on doing this same trip in November. |
Hi Lucky7, I 'm going to do this option on the way from BKK to Siem Reap and back to Thailand I go with PMT to Utapao(pattaya). This way I don't have to travel the same way twice but still have the adventure of the overland trip. Thanks a lot for the information.
Cheers,
