8 days 7 nights Cambodia Budget Tour with Angkor and the Koh Rong 

What You Will Do

This Cambodia Budget Tour gives you a full week that feels busy in a good way, not in a rushed way.

1. Arrive in Siem Reap and meet our driver at the airport.
2. Settle in and rest after your flight, or add Beng Mealea if your arrival time fits.
3. Spend one full day visiting famous temples outside the main Angkor core, with carved stone, older shrines, and quiet corners that many guests love.
4. Wake up early for Angkor Wat sunrise, then keep going to Bayon, Angkor Thom, and Ta Prohm.
5. Ride out to Tonle Sap for village scenes, boat time, and the flooded forest route.
6. Join a home-cooked dinner stop before the overnight bus to Sihanoukville.
7. Cross by speedboat to Koh Rong and enjoy your first island afternoon.
8. Keep two free days on the island. Swim, eat, rest, walk the beach... or just do very little.
9. Return by boat and bus to Phnom Penh on Day 8.

That is the heart of this Cambodia Budget Tour. Big names, smart timing, and room to breathe.

Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival in Siem Reap
Your Cambodia Budget Tour starts with airport pick up in Siem Reap. We meet you on arrival and take you to your hotel.

If your flight lands at a good hour, you may add an optional visit to Beng Mealea on the way. Some guests love that move. Others just want a shower and a cold drink. Both choices make sense.

Day 2: Temple Day to Banteay Srei Area
After breakfast, join a shared temple trip to Pre Rup, Banteay Srei, Neak Pean, and Preah Khan. It is a strong day. You get fine stone carving, old temple walls, and a wider look at the Angkor area than many short plans give you.

Bring good shoes. You will walk, pause, look up, and take more photos than you think.

Day 3: Angkor Wat Sunrise
This is the early start. Worth it.

We pick you up before dawn for Angkor Wat sunrise. Then the morning rolls on through the temple core with stops at Ta Prohm, Bayon, and the old city of Angkor Thom. It is one of those days that stays with people for a long time.

Day 4: Tonle Sap, Dinner, and Night Sleeper Bus
Check out from your hotel in the morning. Then join the Tonle Sap village and flooded forest trip.

After the tour, you have time to clean up and rest in our day-use room and facilities. Later in the afternoon, we take you to Baitang for a home-cooked dinner. You eat well, slow down a bit, then get ready for the night ride south.

Late in the evening, board the sleeper bus from Siem Reap to Sihanoukville. This part of the Cambodia Budget Tour is where the money-saving idea really works. You travel while you sleep, and that cuts out one more hotel night.

Day 5: Sihanoukville to Koh Rong
You arrive in Sihanoukville in the morning. Our tuk tuk driver waits at the bus station with your name, then takes you to the port.

From there, board the speedboat to Koh Rong. The ride is about 40 to 50 minutes. After check in at your hotel, the rest of the day is yours.

Beach first? Lunch first? Nap first? Up to you.

Day 6: Koh Rong Free Day
No fixed plan today. Sleep late if you want. Swim. Walk the beach. Sit under a palm tree and do almost nothing. That sounds small, but on a trip like this, it feels very good.

Day 7: Koh Rong Free Day
Another free day on the island. And yes, that is on purpose. A Cambodia Budget Tour does not have to feel cheap or packed tight every hour. Time to rest is part of the trip.

Day 8: Koh Rong to Phnom Penh
Take the speedboat back to Sihanoukville, then continue by bus to Phnom Penh. Arrival is around lunch time.

This is where your Cambodia Budget Tour ends. You may fly out later, stay a night in Phnom Penh, or keep traveling on your own.
