Poipet-Las Vegus of Asia

mahmud · Jun 20th, 2005, 22:36

Those who travel Bangkok, can easily take a trip to Poipet (Combodia) which is know as Las Vegus of Asia due to some casinos there. For information, gambling is illegal in Thailand but it is legal at Poipet. So, gamlers go to Poipet from BKK.

Poipet is 3 hours journey from Northern Terminal of BKK. Visa is available at the border between 7.30 am-5 pm. Beside of gambling at Poipet, you can also go to the world famous Angkor Wat (In the city of Siam Reap) but that journey is not easy due to road condicion.

Hi Mahmud

Do you have any idea how much the visa for Cambodia is?

Cheers

I don't care about gambling, but I'd love to see Angkor Wat.
Do you know that Angkor Wat was originally build as a twin temple to the Sri Ranganatha temple? At least that's one of the stories a guide told us in Srirangam...
