Cambodia is a unique country in the way that it has its own official currency but prefers not to use it! I’m not sure if it was my limited research or lack of information that’s out there, but when I first arrived in Cambodia I was very surprised about the use of USD. So this guide will give a rundown of all things money in Cambodia and explain what is the best currency to take to Cambodia!
The temples of Angkor Wat are one of those places you walk into that instantly reminds you of why you travel. This wonderfully preserved history takes you back in time and makes it easy to envision just how the temples were in the 12th century. Being the largest religious monument in the world, some may wonder if one day you could even scratch the surface. But if organized well, you can definitely visit Angkor Wat in one day and explore the main highlights.
If you’re reading this I assume you’re planning a trip to Thailand & Cambodia. How exciting! They are both such incredible countries and I recently returned from South East Asia so am here to share all the latest information with you, particularly when travelling from Bangkok to Cambodia by train.
Bangkok is Thailand’s crazy capital city and its location has it easily accessible from all over the world. Most tourists will first arrive in Bangkok and often continue on to the country's tropical islands or the mountain regions of the north. But at the very least visitors should spend 24 hours in Bangkok
Hua Hin is Thailand's first resort destination and the country’s high society has been holidaying there since the 1920s. Conveniently, regular trains run through Hua Hin from Bangkok and the south, making getting here super easy. This travel guide explains why 2 Days in Hua Hin is a perfect amount of time for travellers wanting time by the beach and to experience Thailand's rich culture along the way.
Thailand has it all and Khao Sok National Park is a one-of-a-kind destination.

This guide includes all the information you need to understand the area and how to book a Khao Sok 2-day 1 night tour.
