PLAN YOUR VISIT

Getting there: Cambodia is accessible by air, but there are no direct flights from Europe, North America, Australasia or South Africa; you have to get a connecting flight from somewhere within Southeast or East Asia. The main airport gateway is Phnom Penh International Airport. Alternatively, if you are coming from neighbouring countries such as Thailand, Vietnam and Laos, you can cross through its land borders by train, bus or rental/private hire cars

Getting around: The city and town transport systems in Cambodia generally involve the use of either a moto (motorcycle) taxi or a tuk-tuk. If you are looking to travel out of the city centre, consider hiring a car and driver or taking a domestic flight
