Cambodia 14-Day Itinerary for Australians: 2026 Slow Trip (Siem Reap + Phnom Penh + Kampot + Koh Rong)
Four nights Siem Reap for the temples, three for the harder history of Phnom Penh, three for the slow river days of Kampot, three for the warm water of Koh Rong, one buffer night for the day you wish you had. Here is the honest 14-day Cambodia plan for Aussies in 2026 — costs in AUD, transport in plain English, eVisa timing baked in.
What's the best 14-day Cambodia itinerary for Australians in 2026?
Four nights Siem Reap (Angkor circuit + Phare circus) → bus to Phnom Penh, three nights (history + food) → bus or van to Kampot, three nights (pepper farms + river + caves) → ferry to Koh Rong, three nights (beaches) → fly back via KTI. One buffer night. Cambodia eVisa $80 USD (~$122 AUD) all-in, valid 3 months from issue, 30-day single-entry — perfect for a fortnight. Budget ~$2,400-3,200 AUD/person for mid-range hotels + food + transport + Angkor 3-day pass ($62 USD / ~$94 AUD).
Principais conclusões
- Four nights Siem Reap (Angkor 3-day pass + Phare circus) + three nights Phnom Penh + three nights Kampot (pepper farms, river, caves) + three nights Koh Rong (beaches) + one buffer night is the cleanest 14-day shape for Aussies.
- Fly into Siem Reap (SAI) and out of Phnom Penh (KTI) — saves doubling back and removes the second internal flight from the budget.
- Budget ~$2,400–3,200 AUD per person for mid-range hotels, food, transport, the Angkor 3-day pass ($62 USD / ~$94 AUD) and the Koh Rong ferry ($25 USD return / ~$38 AUD).
- Cambodia eVisa is $80 USD (~$122 AUD) all-in, approved in 3 business days, valid 3 months from issue, single entry, 30-day stay — perfect for a fortnight with room to spare.
- Late October to early March is the best window for the inland legs. Koh Rong is good year-round but the seas calm down from November to May.
- The e-Arrival Card is a second, separate, mandatory form. $5 USD (~$7.50 AUD) verified, filed within the 7-day window before your flight.
Why 14 days, not 7
Most Aussie first-trippers to Cambodia do seven days — three nights Siem Reap, three nights Phnom Penh, one buffer, fly home. A 14-day trip is not the same plan stretched thin. It is a different trip entirely: half the daily pace, four destinations instead of two, and a back half that swings south to the Kampot river and the Koh Rong beaches. The temples and the capital are still there — they are just no longer the whole story.
Two weeks also unlocks the part of Cambodia that the seven-day crowd never sees. Kampot is a slow Mekong tributary town with French shopfronts, the world's most-talked-about pepper farms, and salt fields and bat caves inside a 40-minute drive. Koh Rong, the larger of the southern islands, is the warm-water reset that Aussies who have just done the heavy half-day at Tuol Sleng quietly need. You earn both by sticking around past day seven.
This guide assumes you are sorting your paperwork properly: Cambodia eVisa ($80 USD ~$122 AUD, 3 business days, apply on the eVisa application page), and the e-Arrival Card filed inside the 7-day window before your flight. If you are still working out whether you actually need a visa, the pillar on whether Australians need a Cambodia visa covers it end to end, and the seven-day version of this same trip is worth a read if you are still deciding between one week and two. See our full Cambodia visa for Australians for the end-to-end walkthrough.
The 14-day plan at a glance
Open-jaw flight again — into Siem Reap (SAI), out of Phnom Penh (KTI). The last internal hop is Sihanoukville (KOS) back up to KTI for the international flight home, and the schedules work. Most Aussie agents will book SYD/MEL → SIN → SAI in and KTI → SIN → SYD/MEL out as a single itinerary.
Inside the fortnight: four nights Siem Reap (the extra night versus the 7-day plan gives you a Tonlé Sap day or a slow morning), three nights Phnom Penh, three nights Kampot, three nights Koh Rong, then back to KTI for the flight out. One buffer night tucked into Phnom Penh on either end.
Days 1–4: Siem Reap
Siem Reap is your temple base. Four nights gives you an arrival afternoon, the small Angkor circuit on day two, the big circuit on day three, and a flex day four for the Tonlé Sap floating villages or a slow morning at the hotel pool. Most mid-range hotels sit within a 10-minute tuk-tuk of the Angkor ticket centre.
Perguntas frequentes
Is 14 days too long for Cambodia from Australia?
No — 14 days is the length where Cambodia starts to breathe. Seven days covers Siem Reap and Phnom Penh comfortably; 14 days adds Kampot (river town, pepper farms, caves) and Koh Rong (warm-water island reset), which are the two places that Aussies who have done both plans consistently say make the trip. The Cambodia Tourist eVisa gives you a 30-day stay window, so two weeks fits inside it with 16 days to spare. The only Aussies who genuinely find 14 days too long are travellers who dislike beach time — and they can swap the Koh Rong block for an extra Siem Reap or Phnom Penh stretch.
Should I add Vietnam or Thailand to a 14-day Cambodia trip?
Honestly, no. Fourteen days is the length where you have just enough time to do Cambodia properly — Siem Reap, Phnom Penh, Kampot, Koh Rong, one buffer. Splitting the fortnight 7-and-7 with Vietnam or Thailand pulls you back into the rushed 7-day shape on each side and you lose the slow Kampot and Koh Rong leg, which is the whole point of going two weeks. If you have 21 days the maths works for adding Vietnam (Saigon + the Mekong Delta), but at 14 days you are better off using the second week on the south coast of Cambodia.
How much does a 14-day Cambodia trip cost from Australia?
Roughly $2,400–3,200 AUD per person for the in-country spend — mid-range hotels ($40–80 USD/night in Siem Reap and Phnom Penh / ~$60–120 AUD, $30–50 USD in Kampot / ~$45–75 AUD, $50–100 USD on Koh Rong / ~$76–152 AUD), food ($25–40 AUD/day), tuk-tuks, the Giant Ibis bus, the Kampot van, the Koh Rong ferry ($25 USD return / ~$38 AUD), and the Angkor 3-day pass ($62 USD / ~$94 AUD). Flights from Sydney/Melbourne add another $900–1,400 AUD return depending on season. The Cambodia eVisa is $80 USD (~$122 AUD) all-in on top.
Do I need a multi-entry visa for a 14-day Cambodia trip?
No — the standard Cambodia Tourist eVisa is single-entry, valid 3 months from issue with a 30-day stay window once you arrive, and that is exactly what a single 14-day Cambodia trip needs. You only need a multiple-entry visa if you are leaving Cambodia in the middle of the fortnight and re-entering — for example, popping across to Vietnam or Thailand and back. Most Aussies on a 14-day trip never leave Cambodia, so the standard $80 USD (~$122 AUD) Tourist eVisa is the right pick. Business eVisa options are broader and worth a look if your travel pattern is more complex.
Is Koh Rong worth visiting on a 14-day trip?
For most Aussies, yes — Koh Rong is the warm-water reset that makes the second week of the trip feel like a holiday rather than another stretch of sightseeing. Long Set beach (4K) is the headline: the longest white-sand beach on the island, soft sand, warm shallow water, virtually no current, and a string of beach bars and bungalows that work for families and couples equally well. Three nights is the right length; two feels short, four starts to feel idle. If you are travelling with someone who genuinely dislikes beach time, swap the Koh Rong block for an extra two nights each in Kampot and Phnom Penh.
