ROAD TRAVEL FROM THAILAND TO SIEM REAP, CAMBODIA

March 31, 2018
MABUHAY!
This is a photo and video journal of our brief travel adventure to the historic Kingdom of Cambodia.

EXIT FROM THAILAND
A magnificent farewell gate full of decorative Thai architectural motifs was my lasting impression during our exit from Aranyaprathet, Thailand. At the Thailand border, no money or donation was requested from us for an exit stamp on our passports.

ENTRY TO CAMBODIA
Upon entering the gate to Cambodia, you'll be greeted by many vendors selling different kinds of merchandise, also taxi drivers, tuk-tuk drivers, and beggars.

Walking around 200 meters from the Thailand border, amidst some shops and stores, we finally found the arrival gate of the Cambodian immigration for an entry stamp.

Filling up an arrival card. They did not ask us for money or donations to get an arrival stamp. The funny thing is that taxi drivers are outside waiting at the immigration exit, which has no door, and trying to convince you to take a ride while in a queue.

EATING CAMBODIAN STREET FOOD
We found this street food stall selling grilled pork and rice.

CHECK-IN TO OUR HOSTEL ACCOMMODATION
We stayed at Alis House, a cozy and tidy hostel for 2 nights which we booked from Airbnb.com. This nice accommodation is around very near the city center, 15-minute Tuk-tuk rides to Angkor National Museum and 30 minutes away from Siem Reap International Airport.
