Generally safe for tourists in main areas (Siem Reap, Phnom Penh, Sihanoukville). Petty crime (bag snatching, pickpocketing) occurs in cities. Road safety is poor — traffic rules are loosely followed. Landmines remain in some rural border areas.
Never drink tap water. Bottled water is very cheap. Avoid ice from unknown sources. Filtered or boiled water at guesthouses is usually safe.
Do NOT stray from marked paths in rural areas — landmines and unexploded ordnance remain from decades of conflict. Road safety is poor — avoid driving at night. Drug laws are strict — avoid all illegal substances. Sihanoukville has seen increased crime related to Chinese casino development.
Tip $1–2 USD at restaurants. $5–10 per day for tuk-tuk drivers and tour guides. Tips make a real difference in Cambodia — average monthly salary is modest.
Modest clothing. Cover shoulders and knees at Angkor Wat and all temples. Lightweight, breathable fabrics. A krama (traditional Cambodian scarf) is useful for sun protection and temple visits.
Theravada Buddhist majority. Monks are deeply respected — never touch a monk (especially women should not), don't sit higher than monks, and offer food with respect. Remove shoes at all temples. Walk clockwise around religious structures.
