Getting In / Out
Travel to Cambodia has never been so exciting. Travelers can get in and
out of Cambodia through flights, boats, and land from the neighbor
countries
such
as Thailand,
Vietnam,
and
Laos.
The number of direct flight from neighbor countries to Phnom Penh and
Siem Reap Angkor Wat International Airport are increasing day by day.
Also there are direct flights from Singapore, China, and Malaysia.
Even if you have obtained a Cambodia visa before entry, it is very
important and necessary to obtain an entry stamp in your passport when
entering the country. Failure to do so will cause serious problems
when you come and leave the country.
THAILAND
Travel
to Cambodia from Thailand
by Plane:
There are several daily flights from
Thailand to Cambodia. You can flight with Royal Phnom
Penh Airways, Thai Airways, Bangkok Airways, and Siem
Reap Airways. The Royal Phnom Penh Airways offers the
cheapest air fares than the other three. However, the
other three have better flight facilities. The duration
of flight from Bangkok to either Phnom Penh or Siem
Reap is about an hour. Cambodian visa are available
upon arrival for those who travel by plane. Since regulations
keep changing from time to time, make sure you check
out with your local travel agent for details.
Travel
to Cambodia from Thailand by Land:
Overland trips recently become very
popular from Thailand to Cambodia. Tourists can buy
bus tickets from travel agents on the Khao San Road
in Thailand. All the buses are connecting, they will
transfer you to a new bus when you pass the border.
The buses destination is at Siem Reap Angkor Wat. Be
sure to ask travel agents before buying the tickets
since there are some agents only bring you to border.
After arriving at the border, you need to have entrance
visa and have the immigration officers stamp on your
passport.
