Cambodia Discovered - 9 Days

EXTENSIONS
For the adventurous traveller who wants to see somewhere really off the general tourist route we can arrange trips to Ratanakiri in the Northeast of the country. You can either fly from Phnom Penh to Ratanakiri or at certain times of year make the three day journey by road and river.
For those wanting a beach extension but not wanting to travel to Thailand, the sleepy coastal town of Sihanoukville, a scenic three hour drive from the capital, is slowly becoming more developed and makes for a great alternative to more commercial destinations.
