Escaping Thailand and going to Cambodia for Songkran???

Remember that the "Khmer New Year" is celebrated
from April 13-15th...
so be sure to check your reservations and plan your trip...

as many businesses are "closed" for the annual celebration...
same-same as in Thailand...some are closing from April 12-19th...
as many Cambodians return to the home villages to celebrate :-)

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation has launched e-Visa,
which enables you to apply for a Cambodia tourist visa online.

Instead of applying through Cambodian Embassy,
all you need to do is to complete the online application form
