A Friend and I are going to Japan in January and we want to make to Cambodia, what is this best way to do this?
From what we have heard and researched so far, a cheap way is flying to Bangkok, Thailand and then taking a bus to Phnom Penh, Cambodia. This would be in place of a flight straight to Phnom Penh as it seems to be $130 cheaper for us. That being a flight from Japan to Cambodia is around $450 and a flight to Thailand being around $300.
That being said, we have found a problem in this and want to know if there is way to accomplish it. Thailand's law on Visa Exemptions are as follows:
a) You are a passport holder from one of the 48 countries listed below:
Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Belgium, Brazil, Brunei, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kuwait, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Monaco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Oman, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, Vietnam.
b) The purpose of your visit is strictly tourism
c) You possess a passport with at least 6 months validity
d) Must be in possession of a confirmed flight ticket (e-ticket acceptable) to show you will be flying out of Thailand within 30 days or 15 days of entry, as appropriate. Open tickets do not qualify. Travelling overland out of Thailand by train, bus, etc to Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia (including en route to Singapore), Burma etc. is not accepted as proof of exiting Thailand. You may be asked to show your flight ticket on entering Thailand. If you do not possess a flight ticket to show you will be exiting Thailand within 30 or 15 days of entry you could be refused entry and may not even be allowed to check in for your flight at your departing airport.
e) When you enter Thailand, you may be required to provide proof of adequate finances for the duration of your stay (i.e. cash or traveller’s cheques equivalent to 20,000 Baht per person or 40,000 Baht per family). Although this seems to be rarely requested by immigration officers, it does still remain as an official requirement.
We qualify for all except for having proof of a returning flight. As we intend to stay in Cambodia for a long period of time and are very more than likely to be searching for a job there. So what I would like to know is how would we go about accomplishing this or is there no other way but to take flight straight to Cambodia from Japan?
EDIT: We are American citizens.
