Cambodia Travel Information

Cambodia travel info isn't hard to get, but wouldn't it be great if we can just travel the world without worrying about the detailed stuff?

Since that won't happen anytime soon, we travelers still need to plan and know about the basic Cambodia travel stuff about border crossings, visas, currency, and the like.

So here we go:

Where is Cambodia?

Unless you zoom in on those online maps, you won't see Cambodia listed. Try zooming in between Thailand and Vietnam. You'll find Cambodia there.

Cambodian visa

You shouldn't have any problems on this score, since Cambodian government has made it easier than ever for travelers to get tourist visas. Now you can get e-Visa, in addition to the regular on-arrival visas at the airport. Get the application form here, if you need it. 

Cambodian currency

If you have US Dollars, then you're all set. There's no need for you to change them to Cambodian Riels. Everyone and everyone will accept USDs there. Well, except in very remote areas.

Cambodian climate

It's in Asia, so summers are hot. During the wet season, rain could be a problem too. Unless rain is exactly what you're looking for. Why ever for? To get magical pictures, of course!

Cheap flights to Cambodia

If you don't want cheap flights, that's okay too. I'm sure you'll find them easily. But if it cheap you want, find out how to get them here.

Cambodia airports

There are two international airports in Cambodia. One in Phnom Penh (PNH), and one in Siem Reap (REP). Both of them will charge you with airport departure tax of $25 per person. Cash only, so make sure you don't spend all of your dollars.

Cambodia travel guide books

Lonely Planet is one. Rough Guide to Cambodia is two. The Angkor Guide is three. All three, plus this website, should give you plenty of ideas how to experience Angkor Wat your way!

Cambodian food

They're good, trust me! Yes, I've read, heard, and had conversations about how 'not good' Cambodian food is, but really, they're all wrong. Try the beef loklak, and you'll see what I mean.

Cambodia facts

Let me save you a trip to CIA's world factbook website. Here it is: Cambodia facts!!

Cambodia guide

Cambodia guides can be a great complement to your visit. There's nothing like exploring the temples and the jungles with someone who knows it best.

Siem Reap transportation

For 90% of the time, tuk tuks will be your best choice to get around Siem Reap and to temples. For the rest of it, you'll have taxis, buses, bikes, and boats available.

Cambodian cities

If you have plans to explore other parts of Cambodia, this might interest you. Phnom Penh is the capital, Battambang has a strong French Colonialism architectures, Sihanoukville is where the beaches are, and Mondulkiri and Rattanakiri provinces are for wildlife viewing.
