It still is a good option.
These people are talking about events that happened 4 years ago. Cambodia has changed massively in that time. Heck only 7 years ago getting taken hostage by the Khmer Rouge was a legitimate concern. These days it's no more dangerous than Thailand (IMO). Grab the latest Lonely Planet for Cambodia and have a read. Even better, compare the 1996 and current LPs to see how much the place has changed.

It used to be a very dangerous place a couple of years ago from what I've heard. It also happened a few years ago that the boat over the lake was attacked by pirates. Yes, in 2000, - we were on the same boat a couple of weeks earlier.:-( Jan |

Maybe the LCC carrier Airasia makes the run as well. cheers, harr As others have pointed out, you can fly President via Phnom Penh, but they fly Bangkok-Phnom Penh only 4 times a week (twice a day for Phnom Penh-Siem Reap). If I remember correctly, the fares were about $100 for BKK-PNH, and $55 for PNH-REP, one-leg, plus airport taxes. I don't know the return fares (should be less than twice those prices). And as others have also pointed out, Phnom Penh is not anymore the insecure place it used to be. So you could consider spending a day or two there to split the journey.

In article ,

We want to fly but need to balance cost with number of flight changes. If you are going to someplace else in the region, consider the bangkok Air travel pass. a minimum of 3 coupons are required. BKK-REP costs USD 80 per direction + taxes. The inter-thailand flights are USD 50. |
