You can travel by both bus and train from Sihanoukville to Bangkok in stages, but there are no direct services. At the present time the overland journey by bus Sihanoukville to Bangkok is a lot quicker and easy than the journey by train, although we expect this to change over the next year or two as rail connectivity between Cambodia and Thailand improves.
