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.
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.
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.
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.
Start early to avoid crowds and heat. Angkor Wat at sunrise is magical but popular.
Try Fish Amok (national dish), Khmer curry, and fresh spring rolls. Drink only bottled water.
US dollars are preferred for larger amounts. Carry small USD bills for tips and small purchases.
