Will the Cambodian New Year strand me in Phnom Penh?

Will the buses from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap stop over Cambodian New Year (from tomorrow)? Will the hostels close/be full? Will Angkor Wat be closed? Help me Cambodia veterans, you're my only hope.

Best answer: Yes, buses will run everyday, including this company's. Hostels will not be closed and there will certainly be rooms available. As for your last question, Angkor Wat is also open during the New Year. Have fun.

Best answer: I actually hired a driver to go from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh. So I don't think you'll have any problems with the bus, but you can always hire a private cab to take you.
