Re: Schengen visa, (and K-visa query, and some other stuff)

I always used to buy the flight ticket for my wife when applying for Schengen, fully refundable type was the way to go. @Freightdog as above, the easiest option for sorting Schengen is the German embassy, the French one is just a diabolic mess & busy all the time from my past experience, someti...

Re: Boarding requirements flight BKK-PNH 16-03-24

It's nothing more than a Low Cost Carrier - LCC - shifting it's responsibility for returning passengers denied entry to Cambodia for any reason from the carrier, at the carrier's expense, to the passenger denied entry to Cambodia by immigration for whatever reason. The vast majority of travelers on...

Re: AirAsia Plans to Launch Low-Cost Airline in Cambodia

This info came through in the nick of time! I was just about to buy a ticket to BKK costing $55 ($7 of which is refundable for my Khmer partner) and includes baggage allowance. On arrival I'd have had to pay $1 for the 30 minute train ride into the city. But now I can get a "free" seat to...

Re: Boarding requirements flight BKK-PNH 16-03-24

That's funny. Always something new with them airlines. Last time I flew out of BKK, for the first time ever, the check-in clerk checked if I hadn't overstayed my Thai visa. I fly from Bangkok (both airports) to Phnom Penh quite often, and whether or not they ask me for my visa for Cambodia and/or a...

Re: Boarding requirements flight BKK-PNH 16-03-24

No one carries cash anymore. I certainly never do and have happily holidayed in several countries without having to handle money. Can I confidently assume the tuktuk drivers and girls I may meet in Cambodia will have personal card readers? At the check in desk they had ABA QR Codes. Probably not fo...

Boarding requirements flight BKK-PNH 16-03-24

This morning I flew from BKK to PNH on Sky Angkor Airlines. At their check in desks there was an information sheet for those in need of a visa to enter Cambodia. There were two requirements for boarding: - Minimal 400 USD per person in cash, and - A confirmed onward- or return ticket from Phnom Penh...

Re: ANTS EVERYWHERE! I need Boric Acid - anywhere in central PP?

I am under attack again. Major building works nearby have disturbed a lot of nests and they seemed to be on the move. Talk me through the steak/water/boric acid recipe please. I have some beef in the fridge, but it's the good stuff. I could get some local road kill at the market and stick it throug...

Re: ANTS EVERYWHERE! I need Boric Acid - anywhere in central PP?

It's been just under eight months now and I still do not have ants. A combination of killing the nests and not leaving food crumbs etc around seems to have done the job. And if a different breed of ants, or a new nest appears, I'll lknow just to find out what they like, mix it with Boric Acid and k...

Re: ANTS EVERYWHERE! I need Boric Acid - anywhere in central PP?

When people talk about ants in Cambodia, do they mean actual ants that bite you, the things we get in western countries also (or at least in the UK, especially in the summer) or do they mean those things that are about a quarter of the size but don't bite you and are just more of an annoyance? Depe...
