Cambodia Challenge 2000

#1 Get a passport

I need to get a passport first. Heheh... It'll cost me about RM 300. South East Asia traveller do not need a visa to enter the country.

#2 Do research

Study and do research on Cambodia. The country's politics, people, etc. How to get there, where to stay, what to bring, how much the cost of the trip, things like that.

Resources:

#3 Form a team

First I need to form a team with at least minimum 2 person and maximum 4 person. Team members should be very coorperative and able to help each other out when get into trouble. Most of all, they must be a nut case like me to accept this challenge ! :-)

#4 Calculate budget

Hhmm... that's the hardest task. Sometimes what we estimete is not enough or over the budget. I think RM700 is enough. What do you think?

#5 Time & duration

December. I think the trip will take one week.

#6 The journey

Take a train from Penang to Bangkok. From Bangkok take another train or bus or tuk tuk to a Thai border town called Aranyaprathet. Then cross the Thai-Cambodia border to a Cambodia border town called Poipet. From there take a pick-up truck ride or what ever transportation to Siem Reap, which is the nearest town to Angkor Wat. Later head straight to Phnom Penh stay a few days there and take a plane back to Malaysia.
