Cambodia's land borders with Vietnam (Bavet) and Laos (Tropaeng Kreal) were open and accepted the Cambodian e-Visa in October 2026.
The journey experience
Until June 2025, this trip could be made overland. Since then, the land crossings between Thailand and Cambodia have been suspended, and the UK Foreign Office advises against all but essential travel within 20 km of the border (checked on 8 October 2026).
Today, the practical way to travel from Phnom Penh to Bangkok is by plane: 27 flights were listed on 12Go for a departure on 24 October 2026, from €77 (typical fare up to €85).
If you read about a direct bus on an older blog or forum, that information is out of date.

How long to visit Bangkok?
Bangkok is in Thailand, not Cambodia. For Bangkok, plan 3-5 days. In 3 days, you can see main temples and street food. In 5 days, explore more markets and a day trip to Ayutthaya. If you meant Phnom Penh, Cambodia, 2-3 days are enough to cover the main historical sites like the Royal Palace, Silver Pagoda, and Tuol Sleng Museum. Add an extra day if you wish to visit the Killing Fields outside the city. Always prioritize what interests you most to make the most of your time.
