Thailand & Cambodia Golf & Culture Package 14 Days / 13 Nights

Cambodia is enigmatic, stimulating and baffling. It is where you just sit back and experience pastoral life’s rhythm, enjoy the tranquility of swaying palms, witness the worldly knowledge and peace in a monk’s face, take in the fragrant oriental aromas and wave back at the seemingly endless stretches of paddy.

Visa and entry

A visa (and passport) is required by nationals from Britain, Australia, Canada, USA and EU countries. No  need to provide a proof-of-return air ticket. Visas are usually issued by your nearest Cambodian Embassy or consulate in your country or online via the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: mfaic.gov.kh

Most visitors to Cambodia require a one-month tourist visa, although some visitors enter on a one-month business visa. The effective date will be on the entry date (mentioned in the approval letter). You are not allowed to enter Cambodia before the authorized date of entry. Most nationalities are eligible for a one-month visa on arrival at Phnom Penh airport or Siem Reap airport, and at land borders. This can incur an administration charge of up to US $4. Don’t forget to bring payment in US dollars and one passport photo. Please be aware that sometimes there can be long queues at the airport when obtaining a visa on arrival, but lines move fairly quickly.

Health information

Medical facilities and services in Cambodia do not meet international standards.

Cambodia:

• There has been quite an explosion in golf in Cambodia in recent years. There is a huge desire to develop the tourist trade and enhance the prestige of this remarkable country. 
• The country is a hot destination and at its mildest in January, with temperatures for golf in the low 80’s, but move up to the mid 90’s in April. It is a monsoon climate, so carefully select your dates before booking a trip. The country is poor with a low GDP and multiple problems associated with poverty and as it emerges from the dreadful and brutal legacy of Pol Pot forty years ago.
• But Cambodia is very beautiful, with much to offer the intrepid tourist, and is embracing golf. Golf is a great unifier and it is hoped that the country will gain much by encouraging visitors to some stunning courses and remarkable scenery.
• Over the past decade, Cambodia has come into its own among Southeast Asia golf destinations, pairing championship-quality courses alongside the rich cultural attractions of the ancient Khmer civilisations, in addition to leisure activities and historical tours.
