Travel to Cambodia
Travel to and around Cambodia becomes easier every year, thanks to improving road networks and airport investments. When planning your Cambodian travel however it pays to be mindful that until 1993 the country was in turmoil and the tourist infrastructure is still developing.
Flights to Cambodia
Most of our guests travel to Cambodia by air. Siem Reap and Phnom Penh are both well served with connections to Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, the major regional transport hubs, as well as China, Korea and Vietnam which can be convenient for travelers from the West Coast of America. Please note that we are unable to book long haul tickets originating outside Cambodia.
Useful Long Haul Flights and Connections

Overland Travel to Cambodia
Traveling to Cambodia by bus, car or boat is becoming more popular for people taking longer tours of Southeast Asia. Overland travel to Cambodia allows a much more intimate feel for the countries and their peoples, and of course is more environmentally friendly. There are good road routes into Cambodia from Vietnam and Thailand. We often arrange to meet travelers at the Bavet (on the Phnom Penh-Ho Chi Minh City route) or Poipet (Bangkok-Siem Reap) border crossings. Traveling from Chau Doc in Vietnam to Phnom Penh by boat can also be a wonderful way to enter the country.
Common routes of land entry
- Cambodia-Laos - new itineraries traveling between Laos and Cambodia, crossing between Ratanakiri and the 4000 Islands at Dom Kralor
- Vietnam-Cambodia - travel to or from Saigon via the Mekong Delta, crossing at Ha Tien (near Kep) or Chau Doc (traveling by river to Phnom Penh).
- Thailand-Cambodia - we can arrange collection from Poipet to Siem Reap, although would recommend arranging your own taxi (car or minivan) from Bangkok to the border if choosing not to fly.
Peerless service standards and local positioning have made us the tour operator of choice by international luxury travel groups and discerning independent travellers to Angkor Wat, Cambodia and Southeast Asia.
