Buses Several bus companies offer multiple daily a/c buses to all of the most popular provincial destinations and many other provincial towns. Some companies, such as Giant Ibis, offer deluxe buses offering extra comfort, safety and other amenities. Phnom Penh does not have a centralized bus station. Buses from different companies depart from different stations. Domestic air service is limited. Siem Reap is the only domestic destination serviced from Phnom Penh.
