Thailand and Cambodia are two adjacent countries and the most popular choice of combination for visitors to Southeast Asia. Follow our tips to plan a perfect trip if you decide to choose them for your next vacation.
A comprehensive trip to Thailand and Cambodia, covering all the must-see destinations, typically requires a minimum of 10 days. Most travelers allocate around 10 days to 2 weeks for their journey, spending approximately 3-5 days in Cambodia and 7-9 days in Thailand.
Due to its larger size and abundance of attractions, Thailand often receives more time from visitors. The popular itinerary usually includes Bangkok (the capital city), Chiang Mai (the largest city in northern Thailand), and an island in the south, such as Phuket or Koh Samui. Phuket tends to be the top choice for many travelers, while others opt for the romantic ambiance of Koh Samui.
Cambodia, being a smaller country, offers its own unique highlights. Siem Reap, the second largest city, is a must-visit for its incredible Angkor Wat. If time permits, Phnom Penh, the capital city, is an option to explore, known for its temples and bustling local markets.
Thailand and Cambodia share similar climates due to their close proximity. The period from November to April is considered the best time to visit both countries, as it offers sunny and dry weather conditions.
One of the busiest periods for travel is around the Christmas and New Year holidays. As international travel continues to recover, it is advisable to plan ahead and make reservations in advance, especially for popular cities and islands like Bangkok, as well as flights between popular destinations such as Siem Reap and Bangkok.
