Is it better to go to Cambodia or Vietnam first?

Ugh, Cambodia or Vietnam first? That’s the million-dollar question, isn’t it? I wrestled with this myself, honestly! I was SO excited for both.

So, if you’re thinking about hopping over to Australia, the UK, or even Europe after – and, let’s be real, who isn’t dreaming of a post-Southeast Asia adventure? – then maybe Cambodia first makes more sense. I mean, trying to find a direct flight from Cambodia to, say, London, is like searching for a unicorn. They’re out there, sure, but you’re gonna pay through the nose for them, and it’ll probably involve a ridiculous layover somewhere. Vietnam, on the other hand? Way more flight options, way easier to connect onward. Remember that time I spent ages trying to find a decent flight out of Siem Reap? Yeah, not fun. That’s a real-world example for you.

It’s not just about finding a flight, either, it’s about saving time and money, you know? Less travel time means more time exploring those amazing temples or chilling on a beach – which sounds better, right? So yeah, that’s my two cents. But, hey, maybe someone else has a totally different experience – travel is so subjective, isn’t it? Ultimately, it’s your trip, and you should go with what feels right. But I hope this helps make that decision a little easier.
