The best time to travel to Cambodia

Since the information contained in the "latitudes, Cambodia is located in a tropical climate, may to October is the summer months, due to the influence of the southwest monsoon and temperatures hovering around 33 ° c, combined with the abundant rainfall, relative humidity up to 90%.

From November to April is the winter, a dry cool northeast monsoon, average temperatures as 25¡æ ~ 32 ° c, is the best travel season. "Actual situation I 2010 June 3, to, in fact, sooner or later are acceptable and comfortable temperature, just 11 points at midday-2 point is very hot. General afternoon return to the hotel is the best choice, and rest. Basic it will rain in the afternoon and then the cool evening. In fact the most advantage of the season is the low season, not so crowded travel environment, there is no need to panic, decrepit state reservation.

About visa:

The actual situation: I am in Beijing Embassy financed by yourself.

For Cambodia 14 days personal tourist visa, you need to submit half-year validity period of the original passport (need I signature), personal copy of your ID card, 2-inch color recent photographs, takes approximately 3-5 business days, the visa is valid for 3 months. Cost RMB 190 element. Fill out the form. I drove to, armed police can also help you see the car will not be posted article, very convenient (go to the Embassy for a time, pickup).

Currency

The official currency is the real Cambodia (Riel).

At present the same dollar fixed in 1 US dollar = 4000 Riel. In Cambodia travel does not have to Exchange local currency, the US dollar in local fully General, only 1 dollar following the small amount of change can only be used to the real.

Recommendations: there is a change in the hands of real as you spend to buy small things out, because then Exchange back to the US dollar exchange rate is poor.

Actual case: only in some places will earn some $ xiaobianyi, with enough time must prepare small denominations of us $ 1.

Postal address

The following is excerpted from the information information: mobile phone opened international roaming in Cambodia, Phnom Penh's long distance telephone number for IP telephony, playing back to China price minimum 300 real/minute.

Most hotels can provide residents send ordinary letters and postcards, postcard postage for 1800 Riel. More popular Internet bar, Internet access costs 4000 Riel/hour.

The actual situation: I basically shut down, do use the domestic mobile phone call was too expensive.

Postcard in Siem Reap, dollar a buy, but expensive for me to Siem Reap mailing to Phnom Penh post is 2000 real one. And the national post office in Phnom Penh is very large, very convenient.

Medical and health

Cambodia's most of the time the hot, rainy season drying must always take an umbrella and sunshade with umbrella and more comfortable.

The following items are indispensable: height sunscreen emulsion, deep clean wash product, repair and maintenance of moisturizing products, visor, sunglasses, scarf (certain local purchase and when monuments have practical), dry/wet tissue paper, etc.

Drugs: sunstroke, diarrhoea, hot head, anti-inflammatory, preventing mosquito bites.

Reality: when I visit wear long-sleeved pants and umbrella with Sun and rain, drank some Xia-particles (too hot and humid).

Security

Overall security in Cambodia, but alone do not go out at night, and try not to a secluded place.

I think it's safe, but also as single women I do not wander anywhere at night, find a regular secure hotel is very important.

Learning and reference books

Travel all over the world series of the Cambodia and Angkor Temple ", the book I think particularly useful, to various attractions are very detailed, illustrated.

Dangdang purchase address http://product.dangdang.com/product.aspx?product_id=20187900

I personally bought the Taobao, second-hand books are very good.

Even the rates 30 yuan. Be careful and detailed understanding of Cambodia, rather cursory introd. The aircraft also see other versions of reference travel books, as the interface.

Determine the ticket:

I take the opportunity to travel to Guangzhou, Guangzhou fly directly from Cambodia.

Preferred airlines, phone detailed inquiries to Siem Reap from Phnom Penh to Guangzhou (because I don't want to go back) which match the much cheaper. Learn more about you, OK, and then throughout the inquiry, the last to do so in the go network (qunar) separate sub 2 second ticket than Southern Airlines reported prices also cheap 700 Yuan in all Southern Airlines ticket. But because the booking the haste, nor too cheap, listen to the same machine girl said she set 2 months ahead before 1000 more Siem Reap travel to Guangzhou. Time is money. My flight is: fly to Siem Reap, Phnom Penh back to Guangzhou, 3200 Yuan RMB total of air ticket.

About booking:

Because the select low season, so do not scheduled, the airport direct to find out to downtown car, everywhere Guesthouse. I give Shadow of Angkor Guesthouse, mailing, luck booking and pick-up, 10 minutes to reply.

And timely service to the airport, very regular, the room price is 15-20 u.s. dollars a night (the main difference is that with a balcony), strongly recommended (you can search their Web site). I intentionally write United States a friend recommended me to live the message. Of course then went to the Tuk tuk car spots is looking for his home drivers (SNAR), reasonable prices, good service. This choice makes me 7 days in Siem Reap is free from worry. Also addresses from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh bus ticket purchase and transfer issues. Of course there are many peripheral or different grades of accommodation. Remember: all's well run season.

Siem Reap:

Immigration of important: Cambodia Customs officers extortion traveler things continue to occur, the land crossings more widespread than the airport.

But the Crown also sought to combat such phenomena, such as in the window labeled "no fees" alert words, etc. The event experience, should argue or simply ignored. The actual situation: I was a woman while crossing officials tried to obtain $ 1, not to submit declarations to place more black, not to the blank list, simply cannot be said to form an out. Persecuted by the people will hold together and strive to win. Of course also have to give money to solve the problem of ER. Exit of distress is at the tip, indeed a headache. If you don't give it no problem. If nobody received nor is the problem. Talk about good transport is key, prices, travel to downtown Guesthouse, check room situation and determine whether you live in the most secure. I usually go on the first day of the trip are gathering valid information, be aware of before making travel arrangements, this is very useful.

Angkor attractions: I bought a 7-day ticket (plus one day for $ 20, $ 40 for three days), although it is $ 60, but worth it, because this is what I came to the important purpose of Cambodia.

Why not let your mood, with enough time to enjoy this beauty. I went to the temple is when the filter is: Angkor Temple (Angkor Wat) day, fine look at beautiful relief, understanding all the stories, the understanding of different gods. Mountain nesbakken (Phnom Bakheng) in fact, not only in order to watch the sunset of Angkor Temple, she different temples style, a feeling of far to see the jungle are worth, half a day. Tong Wang Cheng (Angkor Thom) BA Rong Temple (Bayon) Palestine Temple (Baphuon) Royal (Royal Palace) bucket Tower (Elephant Terrace); Doig Wong Toi (Leperking Terrace) and the surrounding small King, is also very important attractions, need one day. Tabb Chi Temple (Ta Prohm) run East (East Mebon), goes to far, I am the same day. Tabb Ah the old monastery of the vicissitudes of life and the forgotten feeling very good, be sure to go. Woman King (Banteay Srei), farther, but when the sun shining in red rocks above the color is really beautiful, very worth watching, need one day. Collapse of dense column (Beng Mealea), one could almost make you think you found the near-collapse of temples, is also a Tuktuk drove 2 hours to get to the place, came back road has public Temple (Bakong) because the entire Barolo's relics Group (Roluos) I chose this one, take a look at the 9 th century when the Temple now looks like, and a day. Holy Temple (Preah Khan) is a tuktuk car passed by in a temple. For a glimpse of the Tonle (Tonle Sap Lake), I also sat Tuktuk. Along the way people are real life scenarios are also well worth seeing, and finally to a similar site is interchange station, 15 dollars boat sightseeing, think of your previous travel experience, resolutely abandon. Since the first day of Angkor Temple (Angkor Wat), so the last stay a day or go to Angkor Temple (Angkor Wat), study of the role is not to belittle. Go to time different, feel different.

Angkor travel advice: make sure to go to a day earlier, I am a 6 o'clock, 9 points after it began with tours in the quiet atmosphere is destroyed, all kinds of language tourist guide, messy sounds, even not imagine if tourism season, so industrious, early to rise now! you can enjoy a feeling of relief in watching; Shen road but you unrivaled beauty.

I don't do about food recommended, in fact, judging by the fact that everyone understand and see the restaurant's popularity never wrong. Go to the spots bring needed water. In addition it is Angkor tourism focus, so also in the surrounding of hawker quite able to blacks. Their own wise strategy carefully. Don't forget that you are a foreigner, Oh.

From Siem Reap to

Phnom Penh: Siem Reap many agents, selling cars, tickets, I'm still in the Shadow of Angkor receptionist, $ 10, 14, CMB, shuttle, 5 hours arrived in Phnom Penh. Off-season benefits once again demonstrated that the car is a total of 6 individuals, very comfortable, the air conditioning is very cool, need a coat or blanket to keep warm. There is a short distance is very bad, bumpy lot. Stopping point in the most exciting places in Phnom Penh, down walk, walk and find shelter. Please note that viewing the 136, road crashes, very Candy Guesthouse, is Miss stay, nightclubs and black, tailand withdrawal; out her next door is a bit old open shop in Norway, downstairs restaurant (restaurant taste good), upstairs accommodation, check the environment, immediate occupancy, details as follows: NORDIC hotel name; address street No. 22, no. 136, Sangkat Phsar Phnom Penh; Kandall, Tel: + 855-23-998676; Email:Nordic@nordic-cambodia.com ; Web: www.nordic-cambodia.com room comfortable, air conditioned, heating, a balcony (with/without), free WIFI, I live in low season, when once again reflect Manager gave me $ 12 a night and go out very easy, walk 100 meters to the East, the Tonle can come to the Lake to the South to the National Museum, 10 minutes, tickets at $ 3, look-a-half days required. Go to the central market and walk 20 minutes walk to the Royal Palace is also 20 minutes, tickets $ 6.25. Phnom Penh's prices are cheap, so my postcard is issued only to Phnom Penh. Phnom Penh, more interesting, because people's lives so real show, unlike Siem Reap travel service atmosphere is too strong.

Other cities: If you have a chance or have seen a beautiful beach, that do not have to go to Sihanouk, meaningless.

Other border city maybe fun, but dangerous, family hope you travel safely, so think twice.

Useful telephone

Move free customer service hotline: 008613800100186

The Chinese Embassy in Cambodia Embassy Tel: 023-12810928

Local emergency phone: Communist police 117, ambulance 119

Of course it's best you don't use these numbers.

Cautious attitude is always to have. Passport must carry, do not take too much cash, this is the risk and danger.

Departure:

Phnom Penh departure tax will have to pay $ 25, boarding pass, done at departure tax money, on the floor, a security check.

Steadfast, and so on the plane, you can return to the embrace of the motherland.

I hope my Raiders can let you benefit.

Wish you a pleasant journey and good luck!
