Frequently asked questions

1. What are the Cambodian visa requirements?

  • Visa on Arrival: Kindly prepare $30 USD for a 30-day stay (extendable by 30 days), available at major airports and land borders. Please bring a passport valid for 6+ months and one photo.
  • e-Visa: For your convenience, apply online at www.evisa.gov.kh for $36 USD. It’s valid for 3 months, granting a 30-day stay at key entry points. The same passport and photo requirements apply.

  • e-Arrival Card: Please submit this free form online at www.arrival.gov.kh within 7 days before flying into major airports.
2. When is the best time to visit Cambodia?

The dry season from mid-October to April is the best time for outings in Cambodia due to its mild air, clear blue skies, and minimal rainfall. From May to September, even though it's the rainy season, the rain typically only lasts for an hour or two a day. The rest of the day is usually sunny, and visits are still feasible.

3. Can one reach Cambodia by air?

Yes, it is entirely possible to reach Cambodia by air. You can take a flight from Ho Chi Minh (or Hanoi) to Siem Reap and spend the rest of your journey exploring the magnificent Angkorian temples.

4. Are international flights included in your travel packages?

We do not include international flights in our travel packages for economic reasons. The cost of international tickets tends to be higher if we handle them from Vietnam. Although it may seem strange, this is the pricing policy applied by airlines. Therefore, flight tickets are usually cheaper when purchased from the departure country. If you would like information about airlines or tips for finding cheaper tickets, please feel free to contact us.

5. How can I book my trip?

If you agree with the itinerary proposed by one of our advisors, please send us an email to confirm the reservation of the tour with our agency. Your advisor will then provide you with the booking documents, including:

  • A reservation form containing detailed information about your booked tour, as well as your personal details and contact information to be completed. You will need to return the form with these details duly filled out, which will be used for the organization of your trip. Please also send us a scan of your passports.

  • A travel invoice requesting a deposit payment of 25% of the total price.

The organization of your trip will be confirmed upon receipt of the completed form and once the deposit is in our possession. We will also send you a travel contract that certifies the details of your trip, including the duration, travel dates, deposit paid, and your contact information."

6. What is the price of the trip?

The price displayed on our website does not include international flights and is calculated based on 4 people with standard hotels. Our tours are private with custom services, so the price varies depending on the travel period, the selected service category, and especially the number of travelers. Please contact us for a detailed quote for your trip.

7. Are insurance policies included in the rate?

No, insurance is not included in our package rates, and clients will need to purchase it separately. These insurance policies are typically affordable and easy to obtain. Many of our clients often choose providers like Allianz Global Assistance, Travel Guard, World Nomads, or AXA Travel Insurance.

Additionally, by paying for your plane ticket or travel invoice with a credit card, you may already have some travel insurance coverage provided by your bank or card issuer. It’s worth checking with them to see what coverage may be included.

8. Can I make changes to the itinerary?

Yes, it is entirely possible to make changes to the provided itinerary. We specialize in private and tailor-made trips, and our advisors will be able to adjust the program according to your every wish.

9. What are the payment terms?

To make the deposit payment, you have two options:

  • Bank transfer: Our account details are provided in the travel invoice.
  • Credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) through our bank's secure website. This payment method includes insurance as part of the card services (cancellation insurance, medical coverage, repatriation, etc.). However, please note that you will incur additional fees for our bank with this option: 3% extra on the deposit if you pay with Visa or Mastercard, and 4% extra on the deposit if you pay with American Express. Payment is made in the local currency."
