Does anyone here know the current condition of National Road #7 from Siem Reap to Kampong Cham?
I drove from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap on National Road #6 a couple of days ago and for one hour heading to Kampong Thom the road is a complete disaster, wondering if the better option heading home would be through Kampong Cham even though it may take slightly longer.
Cheers!

This road only connects KC with Kompong Thom, so you'd still have to do the stretch SR-KT on a pretty bad road. So not sure it's worth the extra 40-50 KM.joelightcloud wrote:Does anyone here know the current condition of National Road #7 from Siem Reap to Kampong Cham?

'National highway' is also a bit optimistic, it's a pretty narrow road with many villages alomg. Did it two years ago and it was OK back than - but roads in Cambodia deteriorate faster than children's teeth, so..... Anyone else?

I don't think that's correct in that you need to do the bad stretch from SR. You can avoid turning right on to #6 if you drive straight on and take #7.

About 36K South of Kompong Thom you go straight on # 71 at Kompong Thmor.Its 60K from there to # 7.Turn right and its 30K to Skun.Adds about 50K but worth it.
