Complete Guide to Visa a run from Bangkok to Cambodia - the cheapest way

I recently discovered a cheaper way to get a visa without the need to run an agency. With this, you will be completely alone. Consider it a travel adventure. It will be an advantage if you speak a bit 'Thai just enough to get by. You have to leave home at 4:30 clock when you return to Bangkok in the afternoon the first bus leaves at 05.00 just watch the next bus is quite full and return as late. So they tend to be heavy trafficBangkok. Just follow the steps carefully and you'll be fine:

1. From home, take a taxi and tell the driver to take you to Central Bangna.

2. The bus to Cambodia is parked in front of a large shopping center C. There is only one bus, bus and see people outside of the bag, but it will be a Thai (usually a woman) is in possession of a ticket with a belt. Concept, and that will give you a ticket now (the 2-way ticket). Pay her 300 baht and can beBus. Think of the list on the ticket when the bus comes from Cambodia to Bangkok. There are two dates. The first clock is at 11 and the other by a clock, if necessary, ask the ticket. Choose your seat, relax and enjoy the ride of 4 hours. The bus arrives at the border to 9 clock.

3. On arrival at the border, just follow the crowd out of the bus to the Thai immigration authorities. Fall in line and give your passport, the officer in which theLine says (foreign passport).

4. Now welcome, Cambodia in person! Debates in its own interest, not anyone, but only man in uniform (the policeman). Ask them the way to the immigration office in Cambodia. Do not be surprised if a guy follow you and tell you that will give you the stamp or have a taxi or whatever. You do not need a ride. Take care of them not only going straight to the immigration office. By Thai immigration authorities, is about 300-500 meters on footimmigration authorities of Cambodia.

5. The cost is only 200 baht (may depend on nationality). You must comply with the officer, giving the stamp and not pay for someone who tells you that you will give the "stamp VIP" and the like. If you do not have the B visa, the officer may ask if you still want to go to Cambodia or go right back to Thailand. If you want to catch the 11:00 clock time, I suggest you just get the mark and return immediately.

6. AfterYou can get the visa stamped in Thailand, back in the same direction, but when I enter the border from the opposite side, where you first get inside You will see signs to go anyway.

7. Now is the time to look for the bus. It will be no parking in the same place where you went. But at the same place, go around and you'll see a big sign "Car Park". Go there and search of passengers waiting area. Now you know where is the bus, you can go on the market, which is located outsideparking and have your lunch or buy something to eat soon later, while on the road.

They are waves of dense foliage, silver with black and pale green to gray, which eventually merge with the clouds to be hypnotized, with few if signs of human presence.

The adventure of these fords will not be achieved, whileE 'can also make them from Phnom Penh to Bangkok in just over 12 hours, now the best thing you can do is about 16 hours.

Considering the distance covered is bus travel more easily the cheapest way to go to Bangkok, expect anywhere from $ 25 to $ 30 numbers, for example, from Phnom Penh to Bangkok for $ 75 compared to +, with fuel surcharges airport taxes imposed in Bangkok Cheap flights by Air Asia or Bangkok Air

Cambodia at its best - The Angkor Wat temple complex, Ratanakiri and Mondulkiri

Cambodia tourism is a testament to the resilience of heat, and the pragmatism of the people of the Kingdom of Cambodia, formerly known as Kampuchea. A tragic civil war and Orwellian proportions severe disruption and damage caused by the Vietnam War, left Cambodia as one of the last places anyone would visit in Southeast Asia. Today, however, you can visit more places in Cambodia than any other time in its history. Many of the national roads have been updated recentlywith the assistance of other countries.

From Phnom Penh, the capital, plastered and sealed, remove the streets of Siem Reap in northern Cambodia, and the entrance today to the city of Angkor Wat temple complex in the city. Similarly, the roads paved and Sisophon and Sihanoukville in the south-east and the home of the best beaches in Cambodia, and Sisophon in north-west and a great place to start your trip to Banteay Chhmar start Angkor and Banteay TopTemple.

Each visit to Cambodia as a tourist should be the Angor Wat temple complex. Over the road from Phnom Penh, most importantly, Siem Reap, KH Airport City Code, served by the airlines that come in its international airport, airport code REP. These airlines include arrivals from Singapore (SIN) with Silk Air, the airline code of MI, and Singapore Airlines (SQ) Bangkok (BKK) Bangkok Airways (PG), Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) with Vietnam Airlines(UN) and other international airlines when traveling from Phnom Penh, Taipei, Guangzhou, Hanoi and Seoul

The temple of Angkor Wat is a series of sites, including Angkor Wat itself, and the nearby ancient Khmer capital of Angkor Thom in the area. Other important sites are the small circular temple from the French "Le Petit Circuit", the great circuit, the French Le Grand Circuit, which adopted Roluos group of temples.

If you want to visit the other templesSites in addition to Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom, it is important to know that the complex is over 400 square kilometers, and can sometimes be difficult to achieve, especially in the rainy season. And reference 400 square miles compared to small islands such as Barbados, and Andorra in Europe.

Interestingly, a recent survey, Radar, published in 2007, now suggests that the settlements and the Khmer Angkor temples and monuments of the city may have coveredmore than three thousand square kilometers, which is about the size of metropolitan Bangkok. The survey also revealed the positions of seventy-four other temples and a much more complex system of irrigation is not known.

If you plan to visit some of the sites of Angkor, you have to spend a few days in Siem Reap near. The city has an excellent selection of accommodation, including luxury hotels with air conditioning at the airport, and stay for me by far the best courses, many interestingPensions, especially near the area of Wat Bo Road Siem Reap. Most accommodation is for a car you will find some cool, is cheap, the restaurants get around the city. Or just take a tuk-tuk and have fun!

What if you want to discover some hidden treasures of Cambodia.? Then again in Phnom Penh, and go to the natural beauty of Mondulkiri and Ratanakiri provinces to see. Ratanakiri province in the north of the border with Laos and Vietnam to the east, south and Mondulkiri.

You mustgo to a travel agency in Phnom Penh, to arrange a visit to this beautiful province located in northeastern Cambodia. There are national highways and airlines maintenance of this relatively unknown part of the country.

Just as a heads-up warning to those of you thinking of going to the region, and are the owners of the tourist attractions there are no flights to Cambodia Ratanakiri Airport.

Once in Mondulkiri, your guide will take you to some of the more remotespectacular landscape in Southeast Asia. Jungles, forests, hill tribes and waterfalls, including the beautiful Boura, await you.

And then in Ratanakiri. This may be the highlight of your visit to Cambodia, and the area is simply outstanding, beginning, again, the waterfalls, the spectacular crater lake of Yak Laom, and since the original inhabitants of the hill tribes.

Try to stay at Terres Rouges Lodge, Lake Banlung. Banlung is the capital ofRatanakiri province and is a smashing little town of seventeen thousand people, and where the hill tribes come to sell their goods.

The original cabin was the home of a former governor of the province of Ratanakiri and has a rich history. Today you can find some of the best services and food in all Terre Rouge in Cambodia. Just check the croissants and baguettes, that aroma that can only be found in French provincial coffee! Well, maybe there issome similar restaurants in Phnom Penh!

Unfortunately, we must say goodbye to Ratanakiri and Mondulkiri sometimes. I wish you safe return home!
