❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
🛂 1. Do I need a visa for a 15-day Vietnam and Cambodia tour?
Yes, for most travelers.
Vietnam: You should apply for a 90-day E-visa online at least 2 weeks before your trip.
Cambodia: You can obtain a Visa on Arrival ($30 USD) at the Siem Reap or Phnom Penh airports, or even at the river border when taking the speed boat from Chau Doc.
Note: As of July 2024, Cambodia also requires a digital e-Arrival Card to be submitted within 7 days before your entry.
☀️ 2. When is the best time to book this 15-day itinerary?
The ideal window is the Dry Season (November to April). During these months, you’ll enjoy sunny days and lower humidity, which is perfect for exploring the Angkor temples and cruising Halong Bay. If you prefer lush green landscapes and fewer crowds, the “Green Season” (May to October) offers great value, though you should expect brief afternoon showers.
👗 3. What should I pack for a 15-day trip across both countries?
Since you will experience the cool North (Hanoi) and the tropical South (Mekong Delta/Cambodia), layering is key.
Temples: Modest clothing (shoulders and knees covered) is mandatory for Angkor Wat and the Hue Citadel.
Footwear: Comfortable walking shoes for temples and flip-flops for the Halong Bay cruise.
Essentials: Sunscreen, insect repellent, and a lightweight rain jacket.
🚤 4. How do we cross the border from Vietnam to Cambodia?
One of the highlights of our 15-day tour is the scenic speed boat journey. After exploring the Mekong Delta, you will travel from Chau Doc (Vietnam) to Phonm Penh (Cambodia) via the river. It is a smooth, efficient, and culturally rich way to cross the border compared to a standard flight.
💵 5. Can I use US Dollars (USD) or local currency?
Vietnam: The Vietnamese Dong (VND) is the primary currency. Credit cards are common in cities, but cash is needed for local markets.
Cambodia: The US Dollar (USD) is widely accepted and often preferred alongside the Cambodian Riel. Ensure your USD bills are clean and crisp (no tears), as local vendors may reject damaged notes.
🍱 6. Is the food safe, and can you handle allergies?
Yes. We hand-pick restaurants that maintain high hygiene standards while serving authentic flavors. Whether you are vegan, gluten-free, or have a nut allergy, simply inform us during the booking process, and our guides will ensure every meal is safe and delicious.
📱 7. Will I have internet access during the tour?
Yes. Most hotels and cafes in Vietnam and Cambodia offer free, high-speed Wi-Fi. For constant connectivity, we recommend purchasing a local SIM card (Viettel in Vietnam or Cellcard in Cambodia) at the airport upon arrival for approximately $10–$15 USD.
