We had a bit of a whistle stop tour through Cambodia, stopping to see the major attractions, we started in Siem Reap with a few lazy days before meeting our friend, then we spent a day exploring Angkor Wat.

We flew to Sihnaoukville and boarded a ferry to Koh Rong, we spent 4 wonderful days there before heading back to mainland where we stayed in Sihanoukville for 2 nights.

Our final 2 nights we’re in Phnom Penh, although in hindsight 3 nights would have been better to see everything.

If we were to visit Cambodia again, we’d spend less time in Siem Reap and miss out Sihnaoukville all together, we’d use the time we saved to get off the beaten path and explore rural Cambodia.

If you only have a week in Cambodia we would recommend spending as long as you can on Koh Rong and one day either side to see the killing fields in Phnom Penh and Angkor Wat in Siem Reap.
