If you ever travel to Cambodia make sure you have a little bit of American money on you, to get through the border...
We were told that Canadians paid $10 as an entrance fee. This is standard. In Turkey we paid $60. So we thought "that's not to bad..." When we were going through security (?) the price was $ 35 each. It's a good thing that I had kept a little extra. I have no idea what they would have had you do if you were unable to pay, considering the ATM was on the other side of the border. When we finally got to pick up our bags and head through customs the custom officer took both our passports and shooed me through. He then whispered to Glen "tip, tip tip" Glen said "I'm sorry I don't understand you?" Customs said again " you give me money" I came back through the gate and stood next to Glen, the official said "no, no you go through" Glen said "we're on a tour, the group is waiting for us" Official finally stamped our passports and let us through. Stressful! He then tried to do the same thing with the next couple ( from our group ) what a crazy situation.
