Voice of Travelers to Cambodia
Lots of places to explore!
We just got back from a well-organized trip to Cambodia via an air ticket from SilkAir. The airline services were great all the way to Cambodia. Learning to move with the traffic in Phnom Penh and realizing that pavements are not for walking on; sleeping overnight in Preah Kral Monastery; experiencing sunrise at Sra Srang, followed by a visit to the delightful Banteay Srei temple; taking a boat across the Tonle Sap Lake and along the Sangker River from Siem Reap to Battambang; hiking along paths through the jungle of Kep National Park (without a guide); being guided around Sambor Prei Kok by two charming local girls- the whole trip to Cambodia was wonderful. I've already booked my next ticket there for the winter holidays.
Overwhelming visiting experience
This was our first time getting a visa and air ticket to Cambodia. We found Cambodia a fascinating country and thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. There was an awful lot to take in and see and we were pleased to have visited parts of Cambodia that are not on most tour itineraries. Towards the end of our two weeks we felt that we had acclimatized and having come to the end of our ‘taster’ were ready to begin the tour proper; such a pity we then had to come home! It has given us a desire to return at some time, both to revisit some of the locations from this trip and to explore new ones.
Amazing journey
The whole trip was brilliantly planned as we traversed through Cambodia. From the sadness of the Genocide Museum and the Killing Fields, to the mysteries of the Angkor Temples, to the cheerful greetings by all Cambodian people, there are many reasons I would love to get another air ticket to visit Cambodia again.

What type of transportation is used in Cambodia?
Cambodia tours utilize a variety of transportation including private vans/cars, 4x4 vehicles, internal flights, etc. They use a mix of private/public transit to provide travelers with the safest and most efficient transportation in each area of Cambodia. Occasionally, travelers may encounter non-typical transportation modes in Cambodia (tuk-tuk, bicycle taxi, etc.), which are recommended for short distances to give a taste of locality.
What kind of food is popular in Cambodia?
Khmer cuisine is closely related to its neighboring countries, although it is not as spicy. Amok (fish prepared with coconut milk and spices) is probably the most famous Cambodian dish. A wide variety of dishes are present in Cambodia such as curries, stir-fried vegetables, noodles, and soups. All meals are served with steamed rice. Western food is available only in the major cities. If you are planning to buy an air ticket and explore Cambodia, it’s a worthwhile decision to enjoy food as the locals do.
