Not a lot a traffic and it was the end of the day. I walked a little bit and a motorbike stops. I did all the way to the city with him and he let me in a guest house 😊rating: 5/5, wait: 15 min, ride: 141 km →

Long time walking but I didn't hitchhike directly because I'm not really comfortable to hitchhike when there is a lot of houses and people everywhere. A woman living in the road just give me a lift for 1 or 2km to help me 😊. If you're confortable with people and urban area it's a good spot ( lot of shops, shadow...)rating: 2/5, wait: 240 min, ride: 2 km ↑

First car stops directly, he was going back to Phnom Penh and I was going in Battambang direction so he let me here just before the cross road.rating: 5/5, wait: 0 min, ride: 21 km ↙

Super good spot, shade for most of the day from a big banner/billboard over the road. Heaps of room for cars to pull in. I think it’s better than what is suggested on hitch wiki.Had to fend off a few taxi but got a lift direct to Battambang

Kinda regular Cambodian traffic, decent spot but sometimes cars from the north road block traffic from seeing you. Had a sign for Poipet. Got lucky and an already crowded bus picked me up.rating: 4/5, wait: 10 min 🪧, ride: 114 km ↖

This spots a bit tricky depending on the time of day. Unfortunately most of the day it’s Vietnamese trucks which don’t go to Phnom Penh (if you’re going that way). It’s best to move a bit back from the Cambodian side of the boarder. Only maybe 100m and you’ll see that all the cars that drop people at the boarder chuck a u-ie and then come past you. Most will ask for money but with a Phnom Penh sign I got a free lift in ~30 mins (30 mins waiting at the boarder in the wrong spot)rating: 5/5, wait: 60 min 🪧, ride: 184 km ←

Long road with no turns and space for cars to stop, easy to hitch to the south. Found direct ride to Phnom-Penh in less than 10min. Few vans will stop and ask for money, makes it a safety if you need to reach your destination absolutelyrating: 5/5, wait: 10 min 🪧, ride: 195 km ↙

Easy to head east/north east from here, easy access from city center with bus 6. Lots of vans will stop and ask for money but some will take you for free. Got a direct ride to Kampong Cham in 5min in a local van.rating: 5/5, wait: 5 min 🪧, ride: 85 km ↗

There are huge trees at the roadside that provide shade. You will see one but you might have to walk there for 100 meters because apparently they are removed sometimes. A sign for Bavet helps if you want to get to the vietnamese border. A lot of trucks come by here, they are your best chance.rating: 5/5, wait: 20 min 🪧, ride: 172 km →

There is a little shop. The lady in the shop seemed to have met hitchhikers here before, as she approached us with chairs, question in google translate "do you want to travel with no payment?", and also offered us a cardboard to make a sign. Just because it's right after the turn from Skun it makes it more difficult for cars that are going from Phnom Penh direction to stop. Anyway, you can chill there, get some cold drink, and wait for your ride to Siem Reap.rating: 4/5, wait: 40 min, ride: 17 km ↗

Pretty good spot, hid in the shade of a signpost. Lots of space for cars to stop. Trucks too. Had 6 people stop, ask if I was ok, and offer to take me to the bus station. Difference between Thailand and Cambodia was very obvious.rating: 5/5, wait: 15 min 🪧, ride: 276 km ←

Big gas station and plenty of room to pull over. Many trucks and vehicles coming from the big port close by. However, hitchhiking is not so common in cambodia so is difficult. i waited 5-6 hours for a ride!―Anonymous, March 2016
