Asian travel, especially independently, not only to broaden their horizons, but also expose the out-of-the-ordinary places,
Country-hopping and border crossings in and out of Cambodia are the problems that are being used, but is a little 'research that you are willing to
Since I was during my first backpacking trip through Cambodia, the air is not an option. So I went by boat from Vietnam, the four-day Mekong Delta Tour of HoChi Minh City and River from Chau Doc to Phnom Penh. E 'sitll operating) and highly recommended.
I left Cambodia by boat from Sihanoukville to Koh Kong (now no longer in business), then took a motorcycle from the pier along the Thai border. Cheap flights from Bangkok until I started using a rule Overland crossings and again from time to time. All that all goes to show that if going to do a little research, the land can be an enjoyable and often more convenient, scenicand stops even in communities that do not get much in terms of tourist traffic.
However, these nodes can be connected with difficulty. To find out ahead of time, when his visa to enter the market in your path, and able to contest any charges for the disposal of intersection. Knowledge of the "standard" prices can make a big difference.
The standard process usually check-out and a country known for the entrance to the next station. In some junctions, departmentsfew steps, but you need to move on others. There are several border crossings between Cambodia and Laos, Thailand and Vietnam.
Vietnam: they are at Phnom Penh, the two most common hybrids Chau Doc (Kaam Samnor, Cambodia / Ving Xuong, Vietnam) and Bavet Checkpoint (Bavet, Cambodia / Moc Bai, Vietnam). Chau Doc is often used for cruising the Mekong River and, as you might suspect, is in the vicinity of Chau Doc on the side of Vietnam. Chau Doc, it's five or six hours by minibus to Hanoi. TheBavet path, is a common node for bus and taxi travel between Phnom Penh and Hanoi. It takes usually six to eight hours by bus, and is a good option if you want to directly HCMC. The main bus companies, start and stop the Pham Ngu Lau in District 1, HCMC.
/ From Kampot in southern Cambodia and elsewhere there are two intersections. Phnom Den, Takeo, Cambodia / Tinh Bien, Vietnam is closer to Kampot and Phnom Penh and near Chau Doc in Vietnam. Half of 2007, the Ha Tien(Junction Prek Chak, Cambodia / Xa Xia, Vietnam) has opened for foreign tourists.
Thailand: the main entrance on the north side of the crossing to / from Phnom Penh and Siem Riep is Poipet / Aranyaprathet, Thailand. This route is delivered to officials and individuals travelers excessively vile, so do your research and keep calm. Many travelers ncompanies book tour packages to simplify through this journey, but it is difficult to organize for themselves. It must be said, however, if the packets are oftencheaper. On the Thai side, is easily accessible by train or from Bangkok.
With the main southern journey to / from Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville, the Checkpoint Cham Yeam (Koh Kong, Cambodia / Had Lek, Thailand). With the recent improvements to the road and the bridge on the cambodian border, which is a manageable trip, and my favorite intersection.
Kralor the Cathedral, Cambodia / Voeung Kam, Laos, near the junction consists of two bids: one land, one above the water. Both are reachableStung Treng, which is about eight to 10 hours by bus from Phnom Penh. The crossing to Laos is pretty simple, but many have "rights" for a dollar or two spoken on both sides of the border.
