Tips:

From Can Tho to Phnom Penh :

2. Alternatively, take a bus from Can Tho to Chau Doc, takes around 3 hours. Phuong Trang (futa) bus company is highly recommended. Phone: (+84) 7103769768
Then take a speed boat from Chau Doc to Phnom Penh daily departure at 8:00 am. Mobile: (+84)942234409

The first choice will be shorter and cheaper but if you want to stop by Chau Doc and enjoy the feeling on water way, go with the second one.

How to get to Shihanouk Ville (Cambodia) from Ha Tien (Vietnam) by bus

Cách đi tới Shihanouk Ville (Cambodia) từ Hà Tiên.

Sihanoukville (Khmer: ក្រុងព្រះសីហនុ - Krong Preah Sihanouk), also known as Kampong Saom, is a province (khaet) of Cambodia on the Gulf of Thailand. Sihanoukville's beaches are a popular tourist destination in Cambodia.

 

Sihanoukville Ville - Self Travel Tips
Tips:

If you want to travel to Sihanoukville Ville by bus from Vietnam, usually take any local bus to Ha Tien Bus Station (Vietamese: Bến xe Hà Tiên), in Hochiminh City (Sài Gòn) it is recommended to take the Kumho Samco Bus Lines (more details here http://kumhosamco.com.vn/en/ho-chi-minh-ha-tien ). At the Ha Tien Bus Station, there'll be a minivan to transfer to Xa Xia (Ha Tien) - Prek Chak (Cambodia) border post.

If you arrive early to the border, there'll be more chances to catch buses. In 2010, Virak Buntham Express started a bus service from Ha Tien in Vietnam to Sihanoukville. Ticket price normally is 10 USD. Most of buses are in bad condition, stop several times to get passengers along the way and it may takes more than 4 hours to get to Sihanouk Ville.

In Sihanouk Ville, if the bus drops you at the bus station which closes to the local market, take a serviced -motobike to the beach (2 kilometers away) for 1 dollar (or 4000 Riel), bargain if they tell the price too high.

Suggested places to stay:

Apple Guest House, (100 metres off Serendipity/Ochheuteal beach.), ☎ +855 97 857 3786. Ochheuteal Beach. 15 clean rooms, close to the center. 2 minutes from the beach, private garden, rooms have cable TV & free Wi-Fi. Motorbike rental, laundry, internet, international calls and a very useful 24/7 convenience store. From $8-$15.

If you travel to Sihanoukville Ville on holidays in Cambodia, the prices may go up a little, a cheapest hostel will ask 10 USD for a very basic room. Go back to the local market to look for cheaper available rooms.

I accidentally visited Sihanoukville Ville on holidays and luckily found a guest house called 'Pheng Heng' near the market for 7 USD/fan room, the room was beautiful and you can go to visit the market in the morning because it is just on the opposite side.
