Useful tips

If you have more time in Singapore, add a visit to Sentosa Island or Marina Bay Sands. If you have more time in Phnom Penh, consider adding a trip to the Cambodian Living Arts or the National Museum of Cambodia.

If you have less time, consider skipping some of the museum visits or theme park activities to save costs. It is also recommended to travel during off-peak seasons for lower prices.
