Decided the best way to travel from Vietnam to Cambodia was by water so decided to book ourselves on a Mekong Delta trip which got us to Phnom Penn over the space of two days. Was a really wonderful way to travel - enjoyed the gorgeous scenery along the Mekong, the stops in pokey little villages, and sitting on deck as the sun set and the stars came out. Had to change boat quite a few times over the two days, but the best part being the rowing boat especially thanks to our lively rower! Along the bank children would often come racing out of their houses to shout hello, wave enthusiastically and give us huge smiles - it was so cute! Arrived in Phnom Penn quite late on our second night and were immediately impressed with our friendly hostel service - warmed to Cambodia straight away!

request for information
hello! we are hoping to travel from vietnam to cambodia and i am thinking the best way might also be by boat... with who did you book it, and how much did it cost? Did they let you do a one-way trip?

Any info would be much appreciated! You can reply to nicolediaz@gmail.com

Thanks

Vietnam to Cambodia
We boated from Vietnam to Cambodia - can't remember with who, just went into a shop near our hostel. Was a nice way to do it definitely. Stayed overnight in a hostel. A variety of boats - if i remember right the first day was better than the second cos we stopped more and checked things out - second day was more abot just getting there. Fraid i cant remember how much it was but we were on a budget so i imagine it wont be that much.
