Get ready for your trip to the Kingdom of Wonder. Here is everything you need to know about visas, local custom, currency, and the best places to explore in Cambodia.
Most visitors require a tourist visa ($30 USD) which can be purchased on arrival at airports and land borders, or online as an e-visa. Ensure your passport has 6+ months validity.
Cambodia uses a dual system of US Dollars (USD) and Cambodian Riel (KHR). ATMs dispense USD. Ensure USD bills are completely clean and unripped, or they may be rejected.
Local SIM cards (Smart Axiata or Cellcard) can be purchased at the airport arrivals terminal for $5-10 USD, providing excellent high-speed 4G data coverage countrywide.
When visiting temples (especially Angkor Wat), cover your shoulders and knees. Remove hats and sunglasses inside temple sites, and remove shoes when entering homes.
The cultural heart of Cambodia. Beyond the world-famous Angkor Wat temple complex, explore the surrounding floating villages of Tonle Sap Lake, enjoy Pub Street's night market energy, and watch traditional Phare Circus shows.
Where French colonial architecture meets modern high-rises. Visit the spectacular Royal Palace, walk the riverside promenade, shop at the Art Deco Central Market, and learn about the Khmer Rouge history at Tuol Sleng and Choeung Ek.
Famous for organic black pepper plantations, salt fields, and fresh seafood. Relax in Kampot by the peaceful river or head to Kep's Crab Market for fresh crab fried with green peppercorns. A perfect slow-travel destination.
Gateway to the beautiful tropical islands of Koh Rong and Koh Rong Sanloem. Head here to catch speedboats to pristine white-sand beaches, swim in bioluminescent plankton, and enjoy island diving.
