Travel tips for Cambodia

  • 1

    Always carry small bills (USD) for temples and markets, as change is rarely available.

  • 2

    Dress modestly when visiting religious sites to show respect and avoid unwanted attention.

  • 3

    Use a local SIM card (Cellcard or Smart) for affordable data, as Wi-Fi can be unreliable outside major cities.
