Cambodia Travel
Advice
Most visits to Cambodia are
trouble-free, however public order
is fragile. Travellers should be
aware of the global risk of
indiscriminate terrorist attacks,
which could be against civilian
targets, including places frequented
by foreigners. The greatest risks to
travellers are from road traffic
accidents, armed robbery after dark,
landmines and unexploded ordnance in
rural areas.
Travellers should be aware of the
risk of robbery and other crime
(including sexual offences) in Phnom
Penh, Sihanoukville and Siem Reap,
particularly after dark, and take
sensible precautions. Travellers
should be on their guard against
pickpockets and bag snatchers,
especially when travelling around
the cities.
Outbreaks of avian influenza (bird
flu) in Cambodia have resulted in a
small number of human fatalities. As
a precaution, travellers should
avoid live animal markets, poultry
farms and other places where they
may come into close contact with
domestic, caged or wild birds; and
ensure poultry and egg dishes are
thoroughly cooked.
