You can get a visa on arrival or you can apply online for an e-visa which costs slightly more but avoids the form filling on arrival, https://www.evisa.gov.kh/ - watch out for the commercial sites.

For VoA, most airlines hand out the visa application onboard the flight. Fill it out then and there. When you disembark, get your passport, one visa photo and application in hand. Specifically tell the officer at the VoA desk you want a tourist visa, $30. Go to the adjoining scrum and wait till your name is called out. It's then you hand in the cash (US$ only) and get your passport. Check the visa expiry date. And head to passport control. 

 

Hmmm, I can't remember whether you need an exit flight ticket in hand. I've only had long-term visas in the past.

Will I have to get US dollars then or do they take Thai baht ? Last time I was there the ATM gave out US dollars 

i am going over land to Siam reap 

then buss it back to Poe pet 

so that is my route and I don’t have a return flight 

i am also traveling with my kids and wife they are going under a Thai passenger so they don’t need a visa 

thx

It's strictly US dollars only. If you're in Thailand, I'd buy some US dollars at the private exchange companies such as Vasu, Superrich or Yenjit. If you withdraw US dollars from a Thai bank account in Cambodia, you will get hosed. I had to do it in an emergency one time. The charges and exchange rate were appalling.
