Khmer cuisine is closely related to those in neighbouring Thailand and Laos although it is not as spicy. Curries, stir-fried vegetables, rice, noodles and soups are staples of the Khmer diet. Fresh river fish and shellfish are both abundant and delicious. Western food is provided only in the major cities although other Asian dishes are widely available. Cambodia is well known in the region for its prahok, a strong, fermented fish paste used in a variety of traditional dishes.

Tap water should never be drunk. Bottled mineral water and bottled drinking water are available in all reputable hotels and restaurants. Similarly, salad and fruit served at these establishments are safe.

All S VietNam tours are based on breakfast only in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville and on full board arrangements in other destinations. For full-day excursions, a picnic lunch can be provided if no adequate restaurants are available.
