We had a good flight from Singapore though we have to wake up very early to catch the 6.00 am flight on budget airline JetStar Asia. The flight took 2 hours and we arrived at 6.55am as the time zone in the Kingdom of Cambodia is one hour behind us. The weather was good around 23 degree centrigrade.. cool and dry.

The currency of the Kingdom of Cambodia is Riel ( US$1 = 4,100 Riel) but everywhere the US dollars (US$) is used and most welcomed. A piece of advice, bring alot of US$1 notes as they are very handy and useful. Always remember to keep US25 for your airport departure tax for each person.
