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
- In US Dollars You'll need $27
- Complete all the forms
How to sort out the Visa for Cambodia?
OK please listen to me here and do it yourself. Don't pay $30 or more to a bus driver or the company to do it for you. Yes they will get you across the border no problem and with the valid visa, but you're paying them money that you can save. Remember Cambodia and Laos are cheap and you can get a hostel, a beer and a meal any evening for $5 dollars, so keep the money for yourself. Tell them you are doing it yourself. You will get all your Laos and Cambodia visa forms at Ban Nakasang - fill them in while you wait for the bus.
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.
On the weekend the corrupt Laos officials will try and charge you $2 US this is only on Saturday and Sunday so try and avoid those days and you'll already have saved $2.
How do you get across the border between Laos and Cambodia?
It's just a mere 1 minute walk across a bridge and it won't be too busy. Once you arrive on the Cambodian side you just pay them $25 and they check your forms and photo then they put your visa on ready to go and explore Cambodia!
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!
After arriving in Cambodia at Trapaing Kreal you may have to wait for a few hours for your onward bus so just relax. Time to admire your visa, read your guidebook and have a beer and some local food before your onward journey. The bus down south to Phnom Penh could take up to 12 hours but you'll love it.
Total price I paid 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.
