Very typical of 2001, you negotiated for transportation at the border. You were then taken to a travel shop somewhere in Poipet where you waited until a truckload of travelers were acquired. In our case there were 2 pickup truck loads! This was a very long and tiring journey but worth the adventure and made quite an introduction to Cambodia. The trip today is much simpler and can be quite quick if the roads are in good condition. The best source for up to date "overland" travel information can be found on the talesofasia.com website. Enjoy!
