Geiser's Hotel and Travel Guide Cambodia still is a bit of a tourist backwater. However, the ruins of Angkor Wat are definitely worth the effort and even Phnom Penh, Cambodia's capital, offers many nice attractions. For the more adventurous traveller, visiting small villages in Cambodias country side full of friendly Cambodians may lead to wonderful experiences.

The rainy, monsoon season lasts from May to October. From November to April is the dry season, which in turn is split into the cold season from November to January and the hot season from February to April. In spite of these differences the seasonal variations in temperature are small, ranging between 21 to 35 degrees Celcius (70 to 95 F).

In times past, on an auspicious day determined by palace astrologists, the King traced the first furrows in the Capital's sacred rice field, thus inaugurating the ploughing season. Today, the ritual is performed by a man, King of Meakh, who leads the yoke and plough, followed by a woman, Queen Me Hour, who sows seeds. After thrice circling the rice field, the procession stops at a chapel where Brahmins invoke the protection of the Gods. The sacred cows are unharnessed and guided to seven silver trays containing rice, corn, bean, and other edibles. Based on their choice, predictions are made for the coming year. If they choose the cereals, harvest will be good. If they eat herbs, cattle diseases are to be feared. If they drink water, rain will be abundant and peace will reign; but if they drink alcohol, trouble will break out in the Kingdom. 13 April: Bonn Chaul Chnam or Bonn Pimai The New Year's Festival spans three days following the end of the harvest season. Khmers clean and decorate their houses with an altar for offerings to the Tevoda of the coming year. They also visit the temple with offerings. Then they play traditional games such as Angkunh, Chaol Chhoung, Leak Kansaeng, and tug of war. Since 1975, the New Year festival has been fixed to 16 April. September: Bonn Dak Ben and Bonn Phchum Ben Spirits Commemoration Festival is held for the spirits of the dead. Bonn Dak Ben - the offering of food to the monks - lasts for 15 days. The 15th day of the ceremony - the full moon - is called Bonn Phchum Ben, the collection of the bens (offerings). During this celebration, if departed souls do not find their family making offerings at a wat, it is believed that the soul is cursed and will bother the descendent throughout the year. October: Bonn Kathen This religious festival lasts for 29 days. The monks come out of their retreat. Town and country folks march in a procession to the wat, where the monks are waiting to change their old saffron robes for the new ones offered during the festival. The ceremony brings spiritual merit to both lay people and the monks. 9 November: Independence Day The 9th of November 1953 is the date Cambodia achieved independence from France. The occasion is marked each year by a gala parade in front of the Royal Palace, which includes floats, marching bands and other spectacles highlighting the nation's achievements. November: Bonn Om Tuk The three-day Water Festival celebrates the river's changing flow by watching a festive cavalcade of competitive boat races. The finish line symbolizes a gate that retains the water. Once the line is cut, water flows down the Mekong, commencing the fishing season. Other traditional ceremonies are the midnight meals of pounded rice and full moon celebration, with lighted flotillas and fireworks in the evening. It is held at full moon at the end of October or in November. ************************************************************************** VISA http://www.pmgeiser.ch/cambodia/general/visa.htm A valid passport is needed for all nationalities. The passport needs to be valid for more than 6 months at the time of entry. In addition, a visa is required. You can get the visa either at a Cambodian embassy, or directly upon entering the country. The visa will be valid for one month and costs about USD 20. Have a passport photo ready. For more details on visa, please have a look at the web site of the http://www.embassy.org/cambodia/consular/index.html Royal Embassy of Cambodia in Washington, USA (http://www.embassy.org/cambodia/consular/index.html). Extensions to a visa are issued in Cambodia by the Ministry of National Security. This can be done at the Department of Foreigners (Bureaus des Etrangers) at House 32, Street 200. Opening hours are Mo-Fr 8:00-12:00. The form comes with attached stamps and costs KHR 2000. Two passport photos are required. The processing time is 10 days! Another place to extend visas is the Immigration Office at No. 5, Street 200. Opening hours are Mo-Fr, 7:30-10:00 and 14:00-16:00. Costs are: 1 week USD 20, 1 month USD 30, 6 months USD 100 (multiple entry) and 1 year USD 150 (multiple entry). If you fail to extend your visa, you will be charged USD 3 for each day you overstay. For details of how to get a visa in a certain country, have a look at the Embassy section. ************************************************************************** EMBASSIES http://www.pmgeiser.ch/cambodia/general/_embassy.htm For technical reasons, this has not been converted into text format. ************************************************************************** BORDER CROSSING http://www.pmgeiser.ch/cambodia/general/border.htm Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and Thailand have now an agreement about border crossing for tourists. Laos The borders between Cambodia and Laos are open, although not the most comfortable way to travel. Thailand There are several points for crossing the border between Thailand and Cambodia. Safety has improved a lot over the last few years. The border at Poipet is open is open. On the Thai side of the border, you can get taxis and motos to Aranya Prathet, about 4 km down the road. There is a bus station and a train station. Bussses to Bangkok take about 5 hours and cost about THB 130 for aircon busses and THB 75 for non-aircon busses. At least two trains leave each day, one at 6:40 am and the other at 1 pm. Although the border city of Pai Lin, 80 km southwest of Battambang is open to foreigners, it seems not possible to get a visa at this border station. To cross between Had Lek and Koh Kong you'll need to travel by 'bathtub' boat, which is about USD 4 for foreigners. The boat from Sihanoukville to Koh Kong costs USD 15 or THB 500. It takes 3 to 3.5 hours. The boat is air-conditioned, so bring along a pullover or a light jacket. Vietnam The usual point to cross between Cambodia and Vietnam is at Moc Bai. There are daily bus services between Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City) and Phnom Penh. The fare from Ho Chi Minh City is USD 10. If you want to go from Phnom Penh, pick up a shared taxi from the far side of the Japanese Bridge. After the border, you'll find plenty of cars to hire to Ho Chi Minh City. At the border at Moc Bai, the shared taxis have to park some two or three kilometers forther along the road. If you do not want to walk, take a moto taxi. Prices are about KHR 1000, although the drivers will try to charge you USD 2 to 3. ************************************************************************** MONEY http://www.pmgeiser.ch/cambodia/general/money.htm The currency is the Cambodian Riel (KHR). 1 new Riel equals 100 sen. The going exchange rate is around KHR 3676 to USD 1 (Jan 2003) (Historical development: 3600 Jan 2000, 3790 May 1999, 3870 Nov 1998, 4000 Jun 1998, 3410 Dec 1997, 2700 in Oct 1996, 2500 in Mar 1996, 2300 in Jun 1995, 2800 in Sep 1994, 2390 in Dec 1993, 2800 in Sep 1992, 500 in Dec 1991, 560 in 1990, 159 in 1988, and 100 in 1987) To get a nice small conversion table that you can put in you pocket, look at the Currency Cheat Sheet at http://www.oanda.com/convert/cheatsheet?user=pmgitg The USD is very widely used in Cambodia. It actually serves as a second currency that is more readily accepted. Bring small denomination and clean notes with you. There is usually no need to change money into KHR, since you will inevitably pay a lot of things in USD and receive change in KHR. Traveller's Cheques are well accepted in Cambodia. There is a commission of about 2% to change T/C into USD, less for T/C into KHR and sometimes nothing for USD into KHR. Shop around! You can get cash advances on your credit card at several banks. The Siam Commercial Bank allows USD 1000 per day, and the Thai Farmers Bank half of that, USD 500. In every case, commissions are very high; they will have to phone Bangkok for confirmation. Shop around for the cheapest rate. It is possible to change travellers cheques and get credit card cash advances in the casinos. Of course, their motivation is to get the money "back" at the tables. Banks Banks are open during weekdays from 7:30 to 14:30. Some open also at Saturday. The Cambodia Commercial Bank, Corner of Pochentong and Monivong Boulevards cashes travellers cheques and does cash advances on credit cards for no cost (unlike Thai Farmers and others which charge up to USD 20). They also get international transfers processed much faster than many other banks. They have an excellent reputation with NGOs and Ex-Pats. The Bangkok Bank, 26 Norodom Boulevard, Phnom Penh, Tel. (23) 26593, accepts cheques and Visa credit card. The Foreign Trade Bank of Cambodia, next to the Bangkok Bank on Norodom Boulevard, Phnom Penh, changes USD travellers cheques into USD cash for a commission of 1%. The Foreign Trade Bank of Cambodia, 24 Norodom Boulevard, Phnom Penh, Tel. (23) 22466, cashes cheques. ************************************************************************** TELEPHONE http://www.pmgeiser.ch/cambodia/general/telephone.htm Cambodia's international telephone code is ++855. Area codes Phnom Penh 023 Siem Reap 063 ************************************************************************** INTERNET ACCESS http://www.pmgeiser.ch/cambodia/general/internet.htm The best choice if you are travelling is to get a provider that lets you access the internet all over the world for the price of a local phone call. Especially in a country like Cambodia where getting access is not exactly hassle-free. Due to this instability, the best choice is to get an independent provider that lets you access the internet all over the world for the price of a local phone call. ************************************************************************** SAFETY http://www.pmgeiser.ch/cambodia/general/safety.htm During the last couple of years, safety in Cambodia has improved a lot. The main problem in rural area are still the landmines (especially near the border to Thailand). The Khmer Rouge have been dissolved in 1998. So the threat of being hijacked has vanished. More of a problem nowadays is crime, which is on the fast rise. Especially Phnom Penh is getting more and more dangerous. After dark, robbery at gunpoint seems quite common. There are several reports of tourists being dragged from their motorbikes. Make sure that you don't stay out in the evening. The following material is excerpted from VIETNAM, CAMBODIA & LAOS HANDBOOK, by Michael Buckley, (c) copyright 1998, all rights reserved, reprinted with permission. Reprinted here with permission of Moon Travel Handbooks, California (www.moon.com). DANGER!! MINES!! by Michael Buckley One of the greatest limitations to travel in remote areas of Cambodia - surpassing even bandits and corrupt government troops - is land mines. Many were planted by the former Khmer Rouge guerrillas. The Cambodian government is a signatory to the international landmine treaty, drafted in Canada in 1997, banning the use, stockpiling, manufacture and export of landmines. The only known cases of foreigners falling victim to Cambodian mines have been UNTAC staff who ventured into known mined areas or handled unknown explosive devices. Remaining a biped is easy if you're alert to potential dangers. Here are some guidelines: BE SENSIBLE: Bright red skull-and-crossbones signs in Khmer and English mark suspect areas. Heed the signs. Stay alert. Do not become complacent and think that because you've not seen any mines the area is safe. Realize where you are and understand the consequences of a wrong action. Don't be foolhardy and "brave" in front of your companions; you might put them into danger as well. USE A GUIDE: If you must travel outside the villages, make sure you stay with a guide who knows the area and will lead the way. Do not enter any region outside a known safe area without first asking local people if there are mines about ("Mian min teh?"). Don't travel outside the towns after 1600 or before 0800: mines may be laid during the night for protection, and, in theory, retrieved in the morning. STAY ON THE PATH: Stick to well-trodden trails at all times. Do not go off a known safe path for any reason, and do not take a shortcut, even if it looks safe. You must do all your business (which includes the toilet) on the safe path, no matter what the circumstances. Don't go off the safe path to explore ruins or derelict military equipment. Do not walk in long grass; snakes could be a problem here as well. DO NOT TOUCH: Never approach or touch any mines or unexploded ordnance. The former Khmer Rouge guerrillas used to rig up live ordnance as booby traps, often with trip wires. It's not uncommon for someone to want to show you their collection of mines, or even pass one to you for inspection. If this happens, make excuses to leave. DRIVING: Make sure your driver knows where he's going. Ask the locals, or take along a local guide. If you need to stop in a potentially mined area, make sure the car is away from the edge of the road so you don't have to venture off the road when you get out. Mines are commonly laid on the edges of roads and paths. If your car breaks down in a mined area, you must climb out onto the roof of the car, make your way to the back of the vehicle, and then walk in the tire tracks. IN A MINED AREA: If you find yourself in a mined area, warn everyone else around you to stop walking. If you can see your footsteps, you must stand completely within them and retrace all the way back to the known safe area. If you cannot see your footsteps you must not move. Call for help and wait until someone comes to rescue you. This may take a long time, but it is better to wait one day in a minefield than to be an amputee for life. If the worst happens, and someone is injured, do not rush into the mined area to rescue them. Many people have been killed or injured doing this. It's better to wait and find someone who knows how to safely enter a mined area. The safest way to enter a minefield is by prodding, which is an exact technique that must be learned thoroughly before being used in the field. ************************************************************************** BOOKS For books, please have a look at the online version at http://www.pmgeiser.ch/cambodia ************************************************************************** FLYING http://www.pmgeiser.ch/cambodia/transport/plane.htm Many people worry about safety conditions on flights in Cambodia. This may have been so in earlier times, but today it is quite ok. Air France officers are training the local pilots, and safety regulations have been risen to international standards. They are partially owned by Malaysia Airlines. Royal Air Cambodge (since end of 1994 incorporating Kampuchea Airlines) has an office Phnom Penh at 206 A, Norodom Blvd., Tel (18) 202300, Fax (18) 427910. The head office at Kramuon Sar Avenue 24 also sells and changes tickets. Tel 428830, Fax 202757. International Flights There is an airport tax of USD 20 for international flights, USD 4 for domestic flights and USD 15 from Siem Reap. There are direct flights to Phnom Penh from Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Guangzhou (2/week), Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. Airlines operating into Phnom Penh are Thai Airways International, Royal Air Cambodge, Lao Aviation, Vietnam Airlines, Dragonair, Malaysian Airlines and Silk Air. The flight from Bangkok to Phnom Penh with Royal Air Cambodia is about 3000 Baht (5500 Baht return). Thai Airlines are more expensive. Bangkok Airways has a daily flight from Bangkok to Siem Reap. Return costs 14500 Baht. When originating the flight in Siem Reap, prices are USD 155 and 310, respectively. Flight 930: Bangkok 10:30 - Siem Reap 11:30. Flight 931: Siem Reap 12:20 - Bangkok 13:20. Since 16 February 2000 there is a direct flight between Siem Reap (Angkor Wat) and Ho Chi Minh City. The flights will be every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. It is operated by Vietnam Airlines. Domestic Flights Royal Air Cambodge serve the following destinations within Cambodia: Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Stung Treng, Ratanakiri, Battambang, Koh Kong, Sihanoukville and Senmonorom/ Mondulkiri Province (once a week). The company is located at Villa 362 on Route 6 in Phnom Penh. There are 7 flights daily between Phnom Penh and Siem Reap (USD 85 single or USD 170 return). The flight takes about one hour. Bangkok Air charges USD 205 for a return. Helicopters serve Koh Kong and Kampong Saom (Sihanoukville). The military also offers helicopter rides from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh. The flight takes one hour and costs USD 45, but it can be an uncomfortable flight, since they use every available space (meaning that more often than not you cannot sit down.) Four days a week, on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, there are flights from Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville for USD 70 and to Koh Kong for USD 50. There are now about three or four flights per week between Phnom Penh and Stung Treng. The airport tax is USD 10, except for Siem Reap, which is USD 8. Notice: There is a weight limit of 10 kg on luggage for inland flights. When flying try to leave some of your luggage at a hotel in Phnom Penh, or try to bluff your way with hand baggage. However, this seems not always to be enforced very strictly (I have reports from people with 17 kg luggage!) As long as there are not too many people doing this, it is not really a problem. ************************************************************************** TRAIN http://www.pmgeiser.ch/cambodia/transport/train.htm There is only one train line in Cambodia. It goes from Kampong Saom (Sihanoukville), south of Phnom Penh, via Phnom Penh and Batdambang to Bangkok. They are quite comfortable, but rather slow. Each day at 6 am two trains leave Phnom Penh in opposite directions to Battamband and Sihanoukville. They often arrive late (if at all). Foreigners are sometimes entitled to travel for free, means illegally, because the train company will not have to cover any damage in case of accidents. ************************************************************************** BUS http://www.pmgeiser.ch/cambodia/transport/bus.htm The bus from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh costs about USD 9. There are several busses from Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville. A normal bus costs KHR 8'000 one way and leaves at 8:30. There is also a VIP bus costing KHR 10'000 one way or KHR 18'000 return. The bus leaves from Phsar Thmey at 7:30, 12:15, and 13:30. The trip takes about 4 hours with a short stop in the middle. They show an Asian movie and play loud music, so it might be a good idea to bring along ear plugs. A 500 ml bottle of water is included. Most roads are in a very bad condition, though upgrading is under way. Update of early 2000: Vietnamese border - Phnom Penh: mostly bad road improving the closer you come to Phnom Penh. Phnom Penh - Siem Reap: good road for the first 50 kilometers, then bad dirt road. Siem Raep - Sisophon: Very bad road with so many potholes that much of the driving is done away from the path. Many of the once blown up now restored bridges are in a really scary condition Sisophon - Thai border: relatively good tar road but still a lot of potholes. ************************************************************************** BOAT http://www.pmgeiser.ch/cambodia/transport/boat.htm There are several companies offering boat rides between Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. Fast Malaysian managed boats take 4-5 hours in a small, uncomfortable boat for USD 20 to 25 and 6 hours in a large, comfortable boat (compared to previously 12 or up to 24 hours.) Prices are USD 12 to 20. The Cambodian government has assigned soldiers to guard these boats. The soldiers use the time on the boat to take a snooze, but you can make interesting contacts if you hand out cigarettes to them. If you are lucky they will ask you to join them in the evening in Siem Reap when they tour the bars and shoot the moon! Other reports state that somtimes the soldiers are shooting on the boats. There are also slow boats. They should take 2 days during the wet season, and 4 days during the dry. It is possible to get a ride in a cargo boat for as little as USD 7. These boats are quite dangerous. There have been many accidents, boats capsizing, etc. One trip is first a four hour truck ride to the Tonle Sap, then four hours by boat and finally half an hour on a truck to Siem Reap. These fast boats easily outrun the slow pirate boats the Khmer Rouge used (actually, I have not heard of any tourist boat pirated.) In Siem Reap, many boats have .5 calibre, belt-fed machine guns loaded and ready on board! So, even the locals don't consider Tonle Sap to be safe. The boats seem to go only to about 15 km towards Siem Reap, the rest has to be made by truck, motorbikes or whatever transportation can be found. The motorbikes should cost about 1000 - 2000 KHR. The drivers want to drop you at a guest house they know, because they get a commission. You can also try to get the ride for free in exchange for staying at 'their' guest house. One traveller also reported that the tourists were asked for money to leave the boat. The boats also frequently break down. There are basically two ways for it breaking down, one in the middle of the lake, an uncomfortable situation with no compass, no safety equipment and no oars. The other is actually much worse, being near the shore from where you get shot at. There is a fast boat between Phnom Penh, Kampong Cham and Kratie. It takes about 6 hours, including a stop in Kampong Cham. Per leg (PP-KC, KC-K) it costs 20'000 Riel. Often there are too many people so that you will have to sit on the roof (take care of the sun!) The boat from Sihanoukville to Koh Kong costs USD 15 or THB 500. It takes 3 to 3.5 hours. The boat is air-conditioned, so bring along a pullover or a light jacket. ************************************************************************** CARS http://www.pmgeiser.ch/cambodia/transport/car.htm It is possible to rent a car with a driver for USD 20 - 30. Always agree on the price in advance. There are many cars in Cambodia that originated in Thailand, having the steering wheel on the right ("wrong") side of the car. You may need some time to get used to it, and the front seat passenger has to be the look-out for oncoming traffic. ************************************************************************** (MOTO) TAXI http://www.pmgeiser.ch/cambodia/transport/mototaxi.htm A good way to see sights in the near vicinity is to go by moto taxi. It usually costs USD 1 (actually, ex-pats pay only about KHR 1000, the USD 1 is the night fare). Locals would pay only about KHR 300 to 500 for the same ride. Of course, the price depends on the distance. And if you venture out farther, you usually have to pay lunch for the driver as well. Taxi Cantha is a new taxi company with metered taxis. They charge KHR 3500 for the flag and the first 2 km. After that, it is KHR 500 per km. After dark, they provide an armed guard next to the driver. Tel. (018) 810 267 or (023) 982 452. ************************************************************************** CAMBODIA - Peter M. Geiser's Hotel and Travel Guide Copyright (c) 1995 - 2005, Peter M.
