Flying from Bangkok to Phnom Penh begins the channel's Cambodia series. Dave and Kim travel by air, meet their waiting driver, push through very heavy Phnom Penh traffic past a convoy of Chinese vehicles, and check into the Saravoan Royal Palace hotel, a stay they were satisfied with.
Bangkok to Phnom Penh by Air
The hop from Bangkok to Phnom Penh is short and straightforward, and the couple has a ride waiting at the airport to reach their hotel. For viewers based in Thailand, the video shows how easy it is to add Cambodia to a travel plan, turning a Bangkok stay into a two country trip.
Traffic and the Big Boss Comment
The drive into the city comes with very heavy traffic and a memorable moment: a convoy of Chinese vehicles passes, and the driver refers to China as the Big Boss of Cambodia. It is an unfiltered local observation that gives the video a grounded, real world feel beyond the usual airport footage.
Checking Into the Saravoan Royal Palace
The couple's first Phnom Penh hotel is the Saravoan Royal Palace, and they report being satisfied with the stay. The video includes a link to the property for viewers who want to book the same base for exploring the city's palaces, museums, and markets. Phnom Penh rewards a few days of slow exploration, from riverside walks to the central markets.
