Why book separate Cambodia and Thailand tours when you can combine both into one exhilarating itinerary?

Fly into one country and out of the other to minimize travel time. Bangkok is Thailand’s central aviation hub, though Phuket also has international connections. Siem Reap (Angkor Wat) is Cambodia’s most popular gateway, but its capital, Phnom Penh, is another viable option.

Fast, frequent, and affordable flights zip between Bangkok’s two airports and Siem Reap or Phnom Penh. Limited direct flights go to other destinations.

If you don’t fancy flying, express buses run between Bangkok and Battambang/Siem Reap via the Aranyaprathet-Poipet border crossing. It’s worth paying a little more for VIP services, where extra-large seats afford ample legroom.

Don’t forget to adjust your clock—Cambodia is one hour ahead of Thailand.

These two neighboring nations encompass a variety of climatic zones. On the whole, however, the best time to visit Thailand and Cambodia is from November to February due to lower temperatures and infrequent rainfall. The downside is that the high season brings higher prices and thicker crowds.

The rainy season runs roughly from June to October, though this can vary between destinations. While rainfall can occur almost daily in places, it often only lasts an hour or two, and you’ll get clear blue skies the rest of the day. The rain also brings a welcome respite from the heat.

The hot “summer” season generally runs in April and May. Temperatures can become oppressive, making outdoor activities a chore. Both countries celebrate a New Year Songkran festival, with wild public water fights to combat the heat.
