PP tto SR

Again, we have to do the economical thong and instead of flying directly to Siem Reap we have to route via Phnom Penh.

Unfortunately AA do not fly to SR, only Thai Airways do that and at a huge cost of THB 7 000 to 8 000 for a one way flight, per person/  That's £140- £150 odd, each.  We can do returns for £175 for both of us direct to PP with AA and then get a bus up (six hours, US$ 10 for two singles) to SR.  The maths are easy.

Plus, we also have friends in PP and we also want to apply for our 60 day Thai visa in Cambodia (December and January in Bangkok is super) and the only consulate Thailand has is in the capital, which means travelling from south to north Cambodia is cheaper and more useful to us.
