Can anyone advice me on the best bus service from Siem Reap to Bankok? Is there even a bus that goes directly there, or do you have to change at the border? If so which is the best bus to get from the Cambodia/Thai border into Bangkok. I need to go to Bumrungrad Hospital for knee a problem. I have read some horror stories on the net, but not sure of any improvements since then, and with a bad knee I sure don't want to get myself in a fix.
Thank you!

It is common to have to wait hours at border crossings.
This adds loads of time to the trip.
Flying may be more pricey but is way less time consuming and more comfortable.

if you want to bribe you need to speak to someone who can converse
i paid 10usd above visa price and it took 30mins from thai to cambo not the reverse unless you have thai speaking person with you who can do the same going opposite direction.
