Cambodge : Go with a local agency

A confidential destinationAfter the destruction of war and political isolation, Cambodia has gradually opened up to world tourism thanks to its rich historical heritage. See Angkor is like seeing the pyramids: there are not many places in the world that can offer such sensations.A welcoming populationCambodia's great asset is the kindness and simplicity of its people, when you move away from Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. By organizing your stay in Cambodia with a local agency, you will be sharing contacts with Cambodians, an authentic experience.History with a Great HCambodia has an ancient and glorious history, one of the most dazzling that the world has known with Angkor and the remains of the largest city built in the th century. Thanks to the experienced guides of a local agency you will discover the most beautiful historical sites in Cambodia and will understand the incredible past of this country.Between adventure and discoveryAdventure is still possible in Cambodia with the minimum risks inherent in any sometimes sports expedition in a harsh nature. The Khmer kingdom discovers itself in total freedom, while taking the time... The bike can be the ideal vehicle because it allows you to go everywhere and explore some places that are difficult to access independently. Rallying the towns of Siem Reap and Kratie through the Cardamom chain is an example of what Cambodia can offer in terms of human adventure and discovery. But public transport also remains a solution to live in motion with the local population.Attention, the population of Cambodia is largely poor, but the cost of living for foreigners is higher than that of other Asian countries. A equal benefit, Thailand, more developed is also cheaper. In fact, given the average monthly income of the population (from $ 30 to $ 50) and the cost of living in neighbouring countries, the same goes for Vietnam for the same life train. Cambodia is not a very cheap country, especially because of the benefits provided (e. g., hotels). In particular, stay in Angkor costs relatively high: everything is organised so that tourists spend a maximum of money in a minimum of time; local transportation, guides and gate prices at the sites quickly made the scholarships die.FormalitésTo visit Cambodia, a tourist visa will allow you a 30-day stay. The tourist visa (T) costs US $ 30 upon arrival, US $ 32 if you arrive without an identity photo. For a business visa (E) on presentation of a proof of mission, it will cost US $ 35. These are the rates at the airports in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, but at the crossing of a land border station, we pay an average of US $ 5 to an average of $ 10 (officials are poorly paid...)! In order to avoid these entourloupes, it may be preferable to have a visa beforehand.

Spoken languages

Learning language: There are different ways to learn a few basics of language and the offer for self-learning can be done on different media: CD, DVD, exercise books or even directly on the Internet. There are two good, compelling bibliograhique references:Talk to Cambodia, understand Cambodia from Pierre-Régis Martin and Dy Dathsy.Khmer daily with 1 audio Cds from Jean-Michel Filippi, Hiep Chan Vicheth, Srin Sereyrat, Chan Somnoble, Collective.

Currency

The currency unit is Riel (KHR). The Cambodian currency exists in notes of 100, 500, 1 000, 2 000, 5 000, 10 000, 20 000, 50 000 and 100 000 cheaper. The most frequently used are 500, 1 000 and 5 000 cheaper notes: to set a bike by bike, buy a noodles soup or drink a soda. But in practice, everything pays in dollars! The currency, if any, will be returned by cheaper.The exchange rate as at 19 May 2015 is: 1 = 4 600 cheaper.$ 20, $ 10, $ 5 and $ 1 bills are most commonly used.The exchange rate as at 19 May 2015 is: US $ 1 = 4 100 cheaper.The Thai baht is used along the border between the two countries.The exchange rate as at 19 May 2015 is: 100 baht = 12 290 cheaper.

Weather

The hot and humid Cambodia climate is conditioned by the action of monsoon that determine the two seasons, dry (from November to late May) and humid (from late May to October), and, finally, by the southwest orientation of its maritime facade. The less pleasant period is the end of the dry season, the heat (sometimes 40 ° C) is truly oppressive and not tempers air.Temperature. The average temperature is 27 ° C in Phnom Penh. However, in April, during the dry season, it may rise to 35 or 45 ° C. In mountain regions, as in Bokor, Ratanakiri or Mondolkiri, temperature ranges between 14,6 ° C in January and 22,7 ° C in May.Rainfall. The rains regime depends on monsoon. From November to May, the northeast monsoon, coming from inside the land, corresponds to the dry season. From May to November, the south and southwest monsoon coming from the sea brings the rains and corresponds to the rainy season.
