Is their advise incorrect? I know that this is probably not the best forum for this query....but after all, OW doesn't get us all the way to Angkor.... Thanks!
"Poor service and overbooking". Wow. As if this is something you don't have even when flying on CX.
At the end of the day, all options are cheap so I personally would go for whatever suits what I want to see. A flight is cheap but on the road you will see other things and on the lake even more different ones.
