Cambodia / Thailand

We are thinking of travelling to Cambodia and Thailand.

Wondering if we can do both places in 3 weeks?

What is the best way to travel between countries?

What cities should we put on itinerary?

Thinking of flying from Canada to Cambodia, and returning home From Thailand.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Dan

You would need to check your routes as Cambodia is not an international longhaul destination for a lot of flights.

For 3 weeks you could squeeze in both countries but will need a little backtracking. Unfortunately overland travel is quite slow and as your time is a little short I would suggest flying where possible.

Perhaps consider flying into BKK, then AirAsia flight up to Phnom Penh for 2 nights, Mekong Express bus to Siem Reap for a 3 day temple pass.

Fly back to BKK for 3-4 nights including an overnighter to Kanchanaburi.

Overnight sleeper train up to Chiang Mai for 3-4 days and then fly CM down to the southern islands to finish off your trip. Depending on season would dictate East or West coast islands.

We have some pics and stories of our similar trips here... www.bobandjanette.com which may help.

Happy and safe travels

I cant speak about coming from Canada, but we have just returned from both countries and travelled into Bangkok from London/KL and had two great days there, and got a Thai Airways flight to Phomn Penh (Air Asia does a good service here too) and had most of the trip in Cambodia, and returned to BKK for the last couple of days. Things to remember that if you decide to go overland expect an extra day or so to lose thru travelling, and in Cambodia the internal flights is very minimal, expect to use coaches more to see the sights like Siem Reap %26amp; Sihanoukville. Its 20 dollars to pay visa on arrival and 25 dollars leaving and take a photo. Make sure all your dollar bills are pristine and keep your bags away from roadside when walking on quieter roads as bag snatching from yobs on motorbikes is rampant, it almost happened to us ,but the pillion passenger just dropped it on the command of my mates perfect Khymer, maybe we were lucky. Having said that Cambodia is really worth a visit and Bangkok although in places a bit overpowering is fabulously vibrant and very exciting.
