There are a load of different ways to get from Laos to Cambodia so this post will concentrate on the one in southern Laos near the resort of Don Det. From there you can cross between Nong Nok Khieng and Trapaing Kreal and enter Cambodia. A few travel tips and money savers are revealed here. []
To get a bus that goes across the border from Don Det to Cambodia just shop around to find one.
What is needed going from Laos to Cambodia?
- Your passport (valid of course!)
- 1 or 2 passport photos
- $27 Dollars US
- Fill in all the forms
How to get the Cambodian Visa:
To get your visa for Cambodia sorted you need to book things yourself. It will save you time, hassle and most of all money. Plus as a traveller it is always better to do things for yourself rather than pay others. You will get your visa forms just before the border so fill them in and you are ready to hit Cambodia.
How much does it cost to leave Laos?
They told us we were free to walk across without the departure stamp but that we would be charged in Cambodia. We had to bite the bullet and in the end paid them $2 US Dollars each. Just to leave Laos. A horrible end to a time in a country I don't have a lot of positives for.
So there shouldn't be a charge. However if it is a Saturday or Sunday they will try to charge you an "overtime fee" and that was what happened to us. So if you want a tip - don't cross the border at the weekend. You'll save $2 US Dollars.
How do you get across the border between Laos and Cambodia?
You simply walk along the road across a bridge past the obvious border between the two countries, a flag on either side plus barriers mark the border. It was so quiet and not busy at all. The bus I had booked to Phnom Penh was waiting on the other side of the border for me, and once in Cambodia head to the immigration hut on your right hand side. Pay them $25, fill in the forms, give them a passport photo and you're in! Don't let them charge you any "animal fee" or "immigration fee" as there isn't any. $25 for your Cambodian Visa and that's it.
You have arrived in the Cambodian border point of Trapeang Kreal.
Trapaing Kreal is just the border village that you arrive into. There's really nothing much there to see or do and you may have a delay waiting on your bus but don't worry. There is cheap beer and food to enjoy!
From there you hang around until the bus driver rocks up with the bus and takes you down south in Cambodia past Kratie, Stung Treng and onwards to Phnom Penh, the capital city. It's a long bus journey down to Phnom Penh but the Cambodian countryside is wonderful and you have your visa already so you're all set.
How much did it cost to get from Laos to Cambodia?
The cheapest total will be just $25 US for your Cambodian Visa. But add on the extra $2 fee to leave Laos and it wil be $27 US.
