Before You Arrive
- Visa Information: Most visitors to Cambodia need a visa, which can be obtained on arrival or online (e-visa). Check the latest updates before your journey.
- Packing Tips: Light, breathable clothing is best; don’t forget sunscreen, mosquito repellent, a sunhat, and modest attire for temples.
- Local Currency: The Cambodian Riel (KHR) is the official currency, but US dollars are widely accepted. Carry small bills for tuk-tuks and markets.
When In Siem Reap
- Getting Around: Tuk-tuks are plentiful and affordable—negotiate a fair price in advance, or ask your hotel for recommendations.
- Staying Safe: Siem Reap is welcoming, but be mindful of pickpockets in busy areas. Use only licensed guides and agencies for tours.
- Local Customs: A friendly smile goes a long way! Always be respectful of religious sites and local traditions.
