Cambodia uses the Cambodian Riel (KHR), but USD is widely accepted everywhere too – yep, even for street food and tuk tuks.

Dry season (Nov-Mar) is prime time if you're chasing sunshine and temple vibes. It's the sweet spot to visit Cambodia and soak up the culture (without sweating buckets).

Tropical and steamy! Expect hot, humid days most of the year, with a rainy season from May to October. Pack light, and prepare for heat and the occasional downpour.

Most travellers need a visa to travel to Cambodia – but good news, you can get one online or on arrival. Just have your passport ready! Check your government’s website to get a better idea of the travel requirements based on your home country.

ATMs are everywhere in cities and tourist spots. Watch out for fees, though. It’s best to stock up at the start of your trip, and definitely before heading off the beaten track.

Tipping’s not expected but always appreciated – you can’t go wrong with rounding up the bill or leaving a dollar or two for great service.

Give it at least 7-10 days to hit the highlights – think Angkor Wat, Phnom Penh, and a chill island stop too. Perfect for unforgettable Cambodia trips. Wanna uncover as much of South East Asia as you can in a short time? Our Thailand, Laos and Cambodia trip gives you the highlights of all three in just 16 days.

Yup! Free Wi-Fi is pretty common in hotels, cafes, and hostels too. If you need constant connection, grab a cheap local SIM when you land.

Cambodia uses types A, C, and G plugs (same as USA/Europe/UK). Voltage is 230V, so bring a universal adaptor if you’re unsure.

While same-sex relationships are legal, LGBTQIA+ rights aren’t as protected here as they are elsewhere. That said, tourist areas are generally very tolerant and welcoming.
And of course, all travellers aged 18 to 35 are MORE THAN WELCOME on all of our Contiki trips, regardless of gender, sexuality and gender identity.
