2. How do I manage the visa requirements for a Thailand Cambodia Vietnam tour?

Managing visa requirements for a Thailand Cambodia Vietnam trip involves checking the specific regulations for each country based on your nationality. Thailand often offers visa-free entry or visas on arrival for many travelers. Cambodia provides an e-Visa system and visas on arrival at major entry points. Vietnam requires most travelers to obtain a visa, which can be done through the e-Visa system or visa on arrival. It’s essential to verify the latest visa requirements and ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates.

3. What is the best time to visit Cambodia?

The dry season from mid-October to April is ideal for visiting Cambodia due to its mild weather, clear blue skies, and minimal rainfall. From May to September, although it is the rainy season, the rain typically lasts only one or two hours per day. The rest of the day is sunny, making sightseeing still possible.

4. What kind of cuisine can I expect on this trip?

On a Thailand Cambodia Vietnam trip, you can expect to enjoy a diverse and flavorful array of cuisines. Thai cuisine offers dishes like pad Thai, green curry, and mango sticky rice. In Cambodia, you’ll find traditional dishes such as amok (coconut fish curry) and lok lak (stir-fried beef). Vietnamese cuisine is known for pho (noodle soup), banh mi (sandwich), and fresh spring rolls. Street food is also a highlight in all three countries, providing an authentic taste of local flavors and culinary traditions. Each country's cuisine reflects its cultural heritage and uses fresh, local ingredients.

5. Can you reach Cambodia by air?

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

6. How to get to Cambodia from Vietnam?

From Vietnam, you can go to Cambodia either by air (a one-hour direct flight from Hanoi/Ho Chi Minh City/Da Nang to Siem Reap/Phnom Penh) or by water (traveling up the Mekong River by boat from the southernmost part of Vietnam to Phnom Penh). It is also possible to reach Cambodia by land, but the journey is quite long and tiring.

7. Your website contains several itineraries. Which one is suitable for me?

All our itineraries on the website are divided by duration, based on your preferences, or by regions, allowing you to better target the itinerary that suits you. The choice of the itinerary will depend on your availability and interests. If you are unable to choose a suitable itinerary, please send us an email, indicating the duration of your stay, what you want to see and avoid during the trip, the type of accommodation you prefer, and more. Our travel advisors will create an itinerary tailored to your every wish. Contact us.

8. What are the hotels offered for this trip? Can I choose the hotels myself?

The suggested hotels will be specified in the detailed itinerary. We include well-located hotels in the quote that have been well-received by our clients. You can also suggest hotels of your preference to have services to your liking; rest assured, we can offer customized services and tours.

9. Do you offer diving or snorkeling excursions for free days on the islands?

During your free time on the island, we leave you free to relax, but we can certainly arrange excursions to the nearby small islands. These are typically group excursions with English-speaking guides/instructors. You can also inquire with the hotel about these excursions.

10. What is the level of the proposed hikes?

We engage in hikes of an easy to moderate level, lasting from 3 to 5 hours. However, the duration and difficulty of the hikes depend on your health condition. This private program can be customized on-site.
