The distance between scenic spots is very long (especially the 6-hour journey from Angkor to Phnom Penh by car), and for the safety of tourists, Cambodian traffic management The bureau has stipulated that the maximum speed of tourist buses cannot exceed 80/km (don’t misunderstand that it is because the car is not good enough that it runs slowly...).
