PERTAMA: Membeli tiket penerbangan pergi balik. Saya telah memilih tarikh yang sesuai dengan harga yang agak murah iaitu iaitu tiket pergi dari Kuala Lumpur cuma RM99 dan tiket pulang RM159. Setelah ditambah serba sedikit yang lainnya jadilah kosnya lebih kurang RM300.

Catatan Perjalanan Kemboja
Oleh Maruwiah Ahmat
Meskipun baharu aman (1975), Kemboja pesat membangun kerana penduduknya gigih bekerja dan jarang ditemui peminta sedekah. Kebanyakannya berusaha mencari pendapatan dengan bekerja walaupun dengan hanya menjual kalungan bunga melur (untuk sembahyang/keberkatan bagi penganut Buddha) pada kadar 500 riel (USD 0.25).
Saya ke Kemboja bersama seorang rakan (Norsiah Harun) pada 9 Mac yang lalu. Kami sampai di Phnon Penh kira-kira pukul 4.00 petang waktu tempatan. Dari atas kapal terbang saya lihat, buminya gersang. Cakap-cakap wanita Vietnam yang duduk di sebelah saya, Kemboja lebih panas dari Malaysia, saya akur dan telah bersedia dari segi mental. Setibanya di lapangan terbang, kami dijemput oleh pemandu hotel dan cuma bayar harga parkir 3500 riel (USD0.88). Kami menginap di Asia Hotel yang harganya cuma USD25 semalam. Menariknya di dalam hotel ini terdapat restoran KFC, perkataan halal dicatatkan di pintunya.
Keesokan harinya, kami keluar dengan menaiki tut tut (Uncle Rom) cuma sedolar untuk ke New York Hotel. Di sana terletaknyaD’Wau Restaurant, sebuah restoran yang diusahakan oleh warga Melayu Malaysia. Saya makan nasi pattaya, dan Norsiah makanNasi Lok Lak (ada pengaruh Kemboja) dan ia memang sedap. Memang seronok dapat menikmati makanan yang pasti halal dan sedap di bumi orang lain. Setelah makan, tuan punya restoran memberi panduan serba sedikit untuk berjalan-jalan di Phnom Penh dan Siem Reap. Seorang pemandu tut tut (Zamry-seorang Melayu Cam beragama Islam) juga ada di situ. Kami minta dia bawa kami ke Central Market dengan harga USD1.
KEEMPAT: Ziarah Masjid. Dari pengalaman blogger lain, kami akan menziarahi beberapa buah masjid di sini. Saya copy dari blog berikut:
http://ilzafmenulis.blogspot.com/2013/01/kembara-kemboja-phnom-penh-2_20.html |
| Masjid Al-Azhar, Chroy Changvar, Phnom Penh |
 |
| Makcik penjual ciku ini boleh berbahasa Melayu |
Di seberang Sungai Sap ada satu perkampungan Cham Muslim, laluan ke sana dihubungkan oleh satu jambatan yang disumbangkan kerajaan Negara China. Perkampungan in terletak di Tanjung Chroy Changvar, tanjung yang diapit Sungai Sap dan Sungai Mekong.
Dari laman web : http://ftmugiarto.blogspot.com/2013/10/perjalanan-ke-phnom-penh-kamboja.html
Masjid pertama, adalah masjid Darussalam, di tepi Sungai Mekong. Masjid ini terletak di lingkungan padat penduduk, yang kebanyakan beragama Islam. Muslim sendiri di Kamboja adalah minoritas dengan komposisi sekitar 2-5% dari jumlah penduduk Kamboja. Di masjid ini, kami bertemu dengan Ust Imron, yang baru saja selesai mengajar. Beliau fasih dalam berbahasa Melayu. Ustadz Imron adalah keturunan orang-orang Champa, salah satu provinsi di Kamboja. Konon kabarnya wali Maulana Malik Ibrahim yang sangat terkenal di nusantara, dalam perjalanan dakwahnya pernah singgah di negeri Champa, dan mempunyai seorang istri dari Champa.
Masjid berikutnya, kami mengunjungi masjid yang cukup besar, yang dalam tahap renovasi, yaitu masjid Al Serkal, yang terletak di Village 6, Sres Chok Commune, Donpenh District, masih di wilayah perkotaan Phnom Penh.
ATURCARA LAWATAN
HARI PERTAMA
5.30 PETANG : Check In Bilik
6.30 PETANG : Pergi Pasar malam.(Phsa Reatrey) berdekatan 108 street.
Menikmati keindahan malam di tepi sungai Tonle Sap
HARI KEDUA
7.00 PAGI : Bertolak ke pasar pagi KM 7 dimana kebanyakan penjual di sana merupakan muslim Champa. Solat sunat Dhuha du masjid KM 8. Seterusnya melawat masjid-masjid lain yang berdekatan seperti masjid Chroy Changva dan masjid Nurul Islam.
(CATATAN: Jika anda ingin naik beca motor (tuktuk), elok tanya harga dan jaraknya kepada petugas hotel dulu.., lepas tu pastikan anda tanya pula harga kpd pemandu tuk-tuk sebelum naik. Jika tidak waktu turun nanti anda akan terkejut harganya...Tempat lawatan yang patut di kunjungi antaranya : Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (penjara Khmer Rouge) di zaman Pol , Killing Fields of Choeung Ek, (17 km selatan Phnom Penh, 40 min by taxi or moto or tuktuk).A former Chinese cemetery, this is where the Khmer Rouge killed many thousands of their victims during their four-year reign of terror, Pasar Russia, Central Market, Tugu Kemerdekaan, Mekong River Cruise Jika anda bercadang menaiki boat cruise di Sungai Mekong, memadailah ambil pakej 1 jam (USD15). Jika pakej 2 jam mereka akan hanya berlegar-legar atau perlahankan kelajuan boat saja.
River Cruises
Short river cruises and sunset cruises along the Phnom Penh riverfront are easy to arrange and offer an interesting view of the city. A cruise typically takes about 1 - 2 hours and runs up the Tonle Sap River along the central riverfront area providing a picturesque view of the Royal Palace, National Museum, parks and Phnom Penh skyline, and then across the Tonle Sap and up the Mekong River to view floating fishing villages.
Tourist boats of varying size and quality wait along the riverfront, usually between Street 144 and Street 130, and at the Passenger Port near Street 104. Just look for the cluster of boats and advertising placards. From about 4PM-5:30PM you can get a sunset cruise for $4-$5/person on a shared tour boat.

Stay safe[edit]
As in any big city, be wary walking alone at night.
Daytime bag-snatching is common; western and local women are often targeted, but men are targeted as well. When riding in a tuk-tuk keep your bag and camera towards the middle of the tuk-tuk to protect against bag snatching. When on a motorcycle taxi, keep your bag between you and the driver or in front of the driver. DO NOT carry/wear your bag on your back!
Scammers and conmen sometimes work the tourist areas such as the riverfront, Hun Sen Park and the Sorya Mall. A group of scammers operate around the riverside, targeting travelers. Their basic method is to start a conversation, make friends, claim to have a relative who is soon moving to your country of origin, and invite you to dinner at their house. Once you get there, they will apparently try to trick you into playing a rigged card game for money, and if that fails then they will give you stories about sick relatives and ask money for that instead. Worse yet, there have been reports of druggings in these situations, after which the guest is robbed blind and perhaps dropped at a hospital.
PERKHIDMATAN BAS KE LUAR PHNOM PENH.
Cambodia[edit]
Sihanoukville, Battambang, and Siem Reap are within a few hours reach. Watch out for guesthouses profiteering on bus tickets. Several tour companies offer day-trips to Tonle Bati, which includes Ta Prohm, an Angkor-era temple not to be mistaken for the Angkor-area temple of the same name.

Vietnam[edit]
Slow boats to Vietnam (US$9-10) are a scenic alternative to the bus (US$10, 6 hr). The 8 hour journey begins at 7.30AM with a minibus to the boat, which then goes to Chau Doc in Vietnam, stopping for an hour at the border for immigration and a change of vessel. Faster boats (US$10) to Ho Chi Minh City take around 6 hours and depart 3-7 times per day. The journey can be also stretched into a 2-3 day Mekong tour (US$40-60).
