Cambodia

  • Drink lots of water. Purified, bottled water is available everywhere. Never drink tap water.
  • Use an insect repellent against mosquitoes. It is the only way to be sure of protection against mosquito-borne diseases.
  • Since Cambodia has a hot and humid tropical climate, casual and lightweight clothing is best. Clothing made from natural fibres is the best option. A jacket might be needed on cool evenings or in hotels and restaurants using excessive air conditioning.
  • A hat and high-factor sun block is advisable as protection against the hot sun when sightseeing outdoors. 
    For sightseeing tours you should wear cool, comfortable clothes and walking shoes. Sunscreen lotion and a hat are strongly recommended.
  • Photos are inexpensive to process in the country. Any specialised photo or video equipment should be brought with you. Photography and video in airports, railway stations and near any military installations is forbidden and discretion should be used when photographing people, particularly monks and those in hill tribes.
