I’ve seen some mixed reviews - and I am planning a trip to Thailand next year! Wondering if it’s worth adding Cambodia?

Hmm, how much time do you have? I would say don’t rush through Thailand to add Cambodia…but if you have time, GO! It’s close and easy to add on :slight_smile: I did both and loved it! You don’t need a ton of time for Cambodia, but I guess it depends on what you want to see. Angkor Wat is a must-see, of course

If you want to do a tour, there are tons of good options as well, like this one: Best of Cambodia & Northern Thailand by G Adventures with 9 Tour Reviews (Code: AVCT) - TourRadar

I usually tend to do 10-12 days in total for these kind of holidays! Do you think in that time I can do both? And yes 100% booking a tour for this as I don’t want to travel solo! Thanks for the recommendation I’ll have a look at it :slight_smile:

Amazing! Hmm, I personally would stick with 1 of the countries…of course, you CAN do both, but I think that if you’ve never been to either of the countries, sticking with 1 will be better. You will be able to see more, and it will be a bit less moving around/rushing :slight_smile:
If your original trip plan is to go to Thailand, I would stick with that! There is a lot to see in the south (beaches) but the North is also beautiful (more greenery/culture): 10 Best Thailand Tours & Trips 2025/2026 - TourRadar

I did visit both countries and both are amazing but if you only have 10-12 days I agree to stick to one country. I did Cambodia quickly in 6 days and it was simply not enough time. 3 days in Phnom Phen and 3 days in Siem Reap. There was so much more to do and see and I am planning on going back to check out other parts that are supposed to be amazing.

Forget about the reviews and think about what you want.

You don’t know who is doing the ‘reviewing’ and what their expectations were.

Add Cambodia!
