Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best time to visit Cambodia?
The best time to visit Cambodia is during the dry season from November to March when temperatures are cooler (25-30°C). April-May can be very hot (up to 40°C), while the rainy season (June-October) brings lush landscapes but occasional heavy showers.
Do I need a visa for Cambodia?
Yes, most nationalities require a visa for Cambodia. Tourist visas can be obtained on arrival at major entry points or online as an e-visa. The visa costs approximately $30-35 USD and requires a passport valid for at least 6 months.
What currency is used in Cambodia?
The official currency is the Cambodian Riel (KHR), but US dollars are widely accepted everywhere. Small transactions may be in Riel (4000 Riel = $1 USD). ATMs dispense both currencies, but USD is recommended for larger purchases.
Is Cambodia safe for tourists?
Cambodia is generally safe for tourists, with friendly locals. However, petty theft can occur in crowded areas, so take normal precautions. Avoid walking alone at night in quiet areas and be cautious of scams. The temples are safe but watch your step on uneven surfaces.
What should I wear when visiting temples?
Dress modestly when visiting temples - shoulders and knees should be covered. Light, breathable fabrics are best due to the heat. Comfortable walking shoes are essential as temple exploration involves climbing stairs and walking on uneven surfaces.
