How to get to Cambodia

By plane

There are only two international airports in Cambodia: Phnom Penh International Airport (Phnom Penh International Airport) and airport near Siem Reap (Angkor International Airport). Unfortunately, there are currently no direct flights from Russia to Cambodia to any of the airports. We hope that this situation will change someday, but for now, in order to get into the country, you can use flights via Bangkok, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and other Asian cities. Flights to Cambodia by Asian low-cost airlines are very popular: AirAsia from Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok to Phnom Penh, and from Kuala Lumpur to Siem Reap; Jetstar from Singapore to Siem Reap and Phnom Penh.

You can find and book flights to Phnom Penh on the dates you need, including with transfers, using the search form. The search is very flexible and allows you to find flights on different dates, with or without transfers, in both directions or one, etc.:

By water

Another way to get to Cambodia is by water from Vietnam. At border posts, when crossing the border by water, Russian citizens can also freely obtain a visa on arrival.

From Vietnam it is most convenient to get to Cambodia by water as part of a tour group:

For example, to get from Ho Chi Minh City in Phnom Penh, you can buy a tour of the Mekong Delta with the final destination of Phnom Penh. The cost of a 2- or 3-day excursion ranges from $30 to $44 with accommodation and breakfast! Such excursions can be purchased at any travel agency on the streets of Ho Chi Minh City. The route is quite complicated, it consists of bus trips with stops in various tourist places, overnight stays in hotels (1 or 2 overnight stays), and then transfer to a boat (travel time by boat is about 8 hours), crossing the border, and then again a short bus ride to Phnom Penh. Naturally, all this time the group is accompanied by a guide. There are other options for excursions from Vietnam to Cambodia.

To get there yourself, you can buy boat tickets from Ho Chi Minh City to Phnom Penh (a composite route by bus and boat), or from the border town of Chau Doc, which can be reached in four hours from Ho Chi Minh City by bus. Boats from Chaudok depart early in the morning, because they spend almost the whole day on the road, so they will have to spend the night in Chaudok.

From Thailand, you can get to Cambodia via the Gulf of Thailand from Bangkok, Pattaya, Koh Chang, etc. However, according to our data, there is no regular water connection between Thailand and Cambodia and you can only use "charter" boats for tourists or excursions.
