Here’s a cracker of a fact to tickle your trivia bone! Cambodia is the only country to feature a building on its national flag – and guess which one? Yep, you got it, it’s the iconic Angkor Wat!
For sunshine and blue skies aplenty, plan your escapade between November and April. It’s the dry season when the weather plays nice, making it perfect for exploring the temples and hitting the beaches. Just remember to pack a hat and sunscreen; it can be as hot as a tin roof in August!
Whether you’re a family seeking fun and adventure, a solo traveller on a quest for soul-stirring experiences, or a couple on a romantic escapade, Cambodia has something for everyone.
On average, expect to shell out around £10-£20 per day on meals and drinks. A pint of the local Angkor beer will set you back about £1.25, while a hearty meal at a local eatery could cost you anywhere between £3 to £5.
Cambodia’s main airports, Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, are conveniently located, making transfers a breeze. Most city-centre hotels are about 30 minutes away from the airport, depending on traffic, of course. Tuk-tuks and taxis are the way to go!
Most travellers, including our fellow Brits, can get a visa on arrival in Cambodia for around £25. Alternatively, apply for an e-visa online to save time. Just ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your entry date.
Whether you’re a solo adventurer, a family unit or a group of mates looking for cultural immersion, Cambodia is the place to be.
