Backpacking Southeast Asia – Thailand to Cambodia Return Trip Itinerary Ideas

Are you planning a backpacking adventure in Southeast Asia? Are you trying to plan a return trip from Thailand to Cambodia and do not want to backtrack? Here is an alternate itinerary for backpacking Cambodia that will allow you to see the sights without backtracking.

Most backpackers that want to travel by land to see Cambodia destinations such as Siem Reap and Phnom Pehn, end up taking the bus to from Bangkok, check out the sights, then take the bus or fly back. To start our itinerary, we also suggest taking the bus to Siem Reap from Bangkok, changing buses at the border. After spending a few days checking out Angkor Wat, take the bus down to Phnom Pehn. While in Phnom Pehn, take a tour of the Killing fields and get some insight into brutality of Khmer Rouge regime.

From Phnom Pehn, take the bus down to Silhanoukville. Silhanoukville is one of Cambodia's main beach destinations for locals and backpackers. After relaxing for a few days on the beach, it is time to head back to Thailand. To avoid heading back to Phnom Pehn and Siem Reap, catch the morning speedboat from Sihanoukville to Koh Kong. Then take a taxi to the border, before catching a bus on the other side to Hat Lek. From Hat Lek, take another bus to Trat. From Trat, take a taxi to Laem Ngop, before catching a local boat to Ko Chang.

Now that you have reached Ko Chang, spend some time on some of the most beautiful beaches that Thailand has to offer. Ko Chang is known for its Scuba diving so be sure to check that out. To end your return trip, head back Trat and then take the bus to Bangkok.

This itinerary can be done just as easy in the reverse order.
