Angkor Wat at sunrise is LIFE CHANGING! Get the 3-day pass minimum. E-visa was approved overnight — so easy!
Ta Prohm (the Tomb Raider temple) was my favorite. Those tree roots growing through ancient stone are surreal. Cambodia is magical.
Pro tip: hire a tuk-tuk driver for the whole day at Angkor. About $15-20 and they know all the best spots and times to avoid crowds!
Bring small USD bills! Everything is priced in dollars but they rarely have change. $1s and $5s are your best friends here.
Don't skip Phnom Penh! The Royal Palace, S-21 museum (powerful but important), and the food scene are amazing. Not just about temples!
How strict are they about dress code at temples? My wife has sleeveless dresses.
DoVisa saved me! Their photo tool fixed my passport photo that was too zoomed in. E-visa came through in 48 hours. Excellent service!
Is the street food safe to eat in Cambodia?
The Cambodian people are so warm and welcoming. Even with the difficult history, there's so much kindness. Visiting the Killing Fields was emotional but important.
Beng Mealea temple is worth the day trip from Siem Reap! Less crowded than Angkor and completely overgrown with jungle. Feels like Indiana Jones.
What's the best way to get from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh?
Budget travelers: Cambodia is so affordable! Stayed in nice guesthouses for $15/night, ate amazing food for $3-5, and even got a spa massage for $10. Paradise for your wallet.
