) Shared with Laos, Thailand and Vietnam; Cambodian visas available on arrival.
Most borders are open during the core hours of 7am to 5pm. Overcharging for the Cambodian visa is very
common at the borders with Thailand. Poipet and Cham Yeam (Koh Kong) are particularly notorious, so
some travellers like the convenience of arranging an e-visa in advance.
Getting Around

The most popular form of transport for most travellers, connecting all major towns and cities.
Car
Private car or 4WD is an affordable option for those who value time above money.
