Cambodia Tour

Although Colombia and Cambodia are located on two continents, many people confuse the two countries. Cambodia is a small country in Asia. Between Vietnam and Thailand, the country is famous for a number of prehistoric sites. However, despite being an Asian country, the number of western tourists is a bit higher than that of Asians. Those who are planning to travel to Thailand or Singapore can visit this country with an extra day or two in hand. There will be no problem with visa here. Visas can be easily obtained at the Cambodian Embassy in Thailand or Singapore for a fee of BDT 4,200.

However, the government of the country has recently provided on-arrival visa facility for Bangladeshi citizens, so Bangladeshi passport-holders will be able to get visa even if they go there. A 45-minute flight from Bangkok or a one-and-a-half hour flight from Singapore will cost 11,000-16,000 rupees to get to Cambodia. You can also take a bus to Vietnam with on-arrival visa facility. The journey from the capital Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam takes 4-5 hours and the fare is around 2500-3000 rupees. Apart from the bus, there is a good opportunity to go by river and there is also an air route. This is one of the easiest ways to tour several countries at once.
