Cheap Flights To Phnom Penh From Australia - From $3643 Return

As clouds of ginger and galangal twist through the Central Market and the street-food bazaars, tuk-tuks career down streets of grand Parisian mansions that have been stained by decades of age, and hawkers tout woven hats and Buddhist trinkets on the side of the Mekong. Welcome to the capital of Cambodia – a city that rarely fails to enchant. Of course, the whole lot is punctuated by moments of calm and thoughtfulness. It's hard to ignore the dark history of the Khmer Rouge that still haunts the places here. And everyone should make time to wander the gorgeous Royal Palace with its gold-tipped apexes. Cheap flights to Phnom Penh from Australia take you north-east to Indochina. Most of the top ticket deals come during the rainy season (May-October), but it's possible to bag bargains at any time of the year.
