Phnom Penh - Post Report Question and Answers

What is your home city/country? How long is the trip to post from there, with what connections? How easy/difficult is it to travel to this city/country?

I'm from New Jersey. Trips back home from Phnom Penh usually take about 30 hours with a layover in Seoul, Korea (5.5 hours) before the 14-hour flight to New York. Seoul is the fastest and most reliable connection right now and it's continued to be the case throughout the pandemic. Not difficult to travel to Cambodia, but it's long and you're tired by the end of the journey. - Jul 2021
