The roads from Prum to Sisophon via Battambang are paved all the way. You can also go the new road north from Pailin along the border to Poi Pet, this road was almost all paved last time I rode.
You may have one problem if your bike/car has Thai plates however, last time I entered at Prum I was not allowed to go outside Pailin province. Your best bet is to enter at PoiPet.

Hello everbody and thanks for many answers .
We crossed the BanPakkhad and Prum border in to Cambodia today.
No problem at all. The custom on the thai site was very helpfull.But they where very slow with the custom papers.
Looked like they had not done the custum papers for motor bikes many times :-) But they smiled and helped us as good as they could .
Then we went to the " agents " on the thai site , that makes the Cambodia Visa. Paid 1100 bath for the Cambo visa and then they said. just wait 10 minutes , and one of the girls working there went over to the Cambodia side.
When we crossed in to Camodia with our bikes. the girl stood there with the immigration officer and wayed us welcom to Cambodia and have a nice trip :-)
We did not even have to make our arrivale stamp into Cambodia . The agent had done that for us, and they even wanted any extra money for that :-)
But we did not get any custom papers to Cambodia ( Same as my last 3 trips into Cambodia )
So if you want to cross at BanPakkhad and Prum border , speak to the agents . They where helpfull and very polite :-)
We took the highway 57 to Battambang and then to Sisophon and then to Ankor Wat. Good road and many nice stops along the way :-)
So i would recomend to cross BanPakkhad and Prum border. But stay over in Thailand the day before and be on the border at 0700 in the morning. Almost no people at the border :-)
Hope this was helpfull.
We tried to get insurance in Cambodia . But its was no when we asked , because we did not have any custum papers from Cambodia .
Ride safe :-)
