A few different crossings link Laos to Cambodia, but let's look at the crossing from Southern Laos near Don Det. It's the Nong Nok Khieng to Trapaing Kreal crossing. This information deals with a British or Irish passport holder. Read on for some cheap travel tips! []
Have a look around Don Det for the bus you want and get it booked.
What do you need to get from Laos to Cambodia?
- A valid passport
- 1 or 2 passport photos
- $27 Dollars US
- Fill in all the forms
How to sort out the Visa for Cambodia?
To get your visa for Cambodia sorted you need to book things yourself. It will save you time, hassle and most of all money. Plus as a traveller it is always better to do things for yourself rather than pay others. You will get your visa forms just before the border so fill them in and you are ready to hit Cambodia.
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.
At weekends particularly they try to charge an overtime fee which is outrageous and costs $2 US so for advice don't cross the border at the weekend.
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 are now in a place known as Trapeang Kreal.
Just so you are aware this is not really a village at all - it's just the border crossing but ultimately you board your bus there and head onwards, south through Cambodia. I don't know if this is unusual but our bus waited for about two hours there at the border so we were sitting around for two hours. I quite enjoyed this as my Irish travel buddies (who got the bus with me but sorted their visas through the bus driver) were waiting for me there! So with two Irish guys and an Irish girl sitting on the border having just entered Cambodia (I was on country number 68), it was time for a beer!!
From there you hang around until the bus driver rocks up with the bus and takes you down south in Cambodia past Kratie, Stung Treng and onwards to Phnom Penh, the capital city. It's a long bus journey down to Phnom Penh but the Cambodian countryside is wonderful and you have your visa already so you're all set.
How much did it cost to get from Laos to Cambodia?
The grand total was $27 US, which was $2 US to leave Laos and $25 for the Visa for Cambodia. The cheapest you can really get this for is $25 US.
