ORIGINAL POSTERLooking for recommendation on the best border bounce service out of Pattaya to cambodia
Seems most of the services are 3100 baht in a 10 seater mini van
I don't know if some of the services have better vans than others because it's about a 4 hour ride

TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation revolves around recommendations for border bounce services from Pattaya to Cambodia. It notes that most services charge around 3100 baht for a ride in a 10-seater minivan, which takes about 4 hours with a possible stop. Users discuss their experiences, mentioning that some minivans have better legroom and newer vehicles compared to others. Concerns about the aggressive driving of some minivan drivers are raised, with suggestions to negotiate prices with local drivers in Cambodia after crossing the border. There are inquiries about transportation to Siem Reap, highlighting the challenges and costs associated with this travel.

The van drivers speed, I did it once, but never again, it’s not worth the risk, you don’t even enter Cambodia, they courier your passport over with everyone else’s then back again

my minibus was good in January and you do walk over the bridge to Cambodia immigration after the Thailand immigration then back to Thailand immigrationTaz **********
@John ********
you can walk over if you want or if that’s what they want, when I did mine they said I could go over or they would do it, but they were on a schedule to head back asap But 160 Klm an hour in a packed minivan in Thailand- not worth the risk
I’ve seen the road carnage hear and driven among them since buying my own car

I noticed if you take the cheap minivans minibusses locals take
Pattaya to Aranyaprathet border for example
the leg room is much better than if you take the minibusses where they collect and wait for tourists.
Also the vehicle seems newer and in better condition

The touts speak good English so just explain you want a share taxi and they'll point you in the right direction. If you speak Thai you'll be understood as well, since many locals in Poipet speak Thai.

do you know which service to use to go to Siem Reap for couple days? I mean a transportation only, but I want to be picked up after crossing the border, cause I've heard Cambodians try to charge you 45 USD to get from the boarder into Siem Reap.Marc ********
@Angelik ******
If you want to be picked up it will most likely be expensive. Like 45$ yes.I just cross the border... then they will approach me. Asking me where I go.
I say Siem Reap. Then the negotiation starts.
If you take a collective taxi with locals it is 10$ per person going SR.
But not easy to find such taxi as I don't speak Khmer.
But I tell the guys approaching me offering me taxi I will pay 20$ to SR.
Take it or leave it.
So far they always took it
It will still be a collective taxi with other people in it.
But paying them 10$ extra for finding a taxi for me is not such a big deal
