Travel Around Asia - Cambodia

With the Summer Olympic Games coming up in Beijing, China, TravelGator came up with the idea of trips to different parts of Asia. They looked at approximate airfares from Beijing, and included a few other pointers. Cambodia is the focus of this quick trip tip.

Airfares were found using the TravelGator flight search tool. Airfares are for one person return in coach.

According to TravelGator, "no trip to Asia would be complete without checking out Angkor Wat. Originally a sleeply village, Siem Reap now sees visitors from all over the world who come to view one of the most spectacular sites of the ancient world. While you are in Cambodia, take the time to visit the country's capital of Phnom Penh. With the country eagerly moving to put its dark days behind it, Cambodia's capital has emerged as a showpiece for the nation's new direction. You can tour Phnum Penh directly or combine it with Angkor Wat and make a weekend of it."

Roundtrip airfares from Beijing to Phnom Penh are around $1500 on a variety of Asian-based airlines. TravelGator says the best prices are found on China Southern.
