Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What essentials should one pack for travelling to Cambodia?

Before flying to Cambodia, make sure you carry the following: Cambodia is hot and humid most of the year. Pack cotton or linen clothes that keep you cool. Pack sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat. The sun can be intense, especially during temple visits and beach days. Always carry basic tablets for fever, stomach trouble, allergies, and nausea while travelling. You will walk a lot at places like Angkor temples and local markets. Sturdy trainers or walking sandals with a good grip are a must. In Cambodia, people mainly use two-pin plugs, but sockets can vary. It is better to carry a universal adaptor.

What are some ways to save money when travelling to Cambodia?

To save money: Visit between May and October if you don’t mind a bit of rain. Hotels, tours, and even flights are much cheaper during these months. Use tuk-tuks, as they are affordable. For short distances, negotiate the price beforehand or use ride-hailing apps where available. Try street food and eat at small local restaurants. Meals here cost much less than food in tourist-focused cafés and international restaurants. If you are visiting the Angkor temples, consider the 3-day or 7-day pass instead of a single-day ticket. Instead of booking tours online in advance, compare prices at local travel desks. Souvenirs near tourist sites are usually overpriced, so avoid them.

Is Indian food easily available?

Instead of local cuisine, if you want to stick to your Indian food, try some of the following restaurants: Namaste India Restaurant, Phnom Penh Namaste India BKK, Phnom Penh Gorkha Palace, Phnom Penh Curry Pot TTP, Phnom Penh Curry Pot, Siem Reap Maharaja Restaurant, Siem Reap Dakshin’s, Phnom Penh Taste Budz, Phnom Penh India Gate, Siem Reap Ganesh Fine Indian Cuisine, Siem Reap

Can I use an Indian SIM card in Cambodia?

Yes, you can use an Indian SIM card from Jio, Airtel, and Vi. They offer international roaming packs that work in Cambodia, but they are costly, and you may also face inconsistent coverage. It is better to buy a Cambodian SIM from Cellcard, Smart, or Metfone upon arrival. Alternatively, you can use a global eSIM.

Are Indian medicines allowed in Cambodia?

Yes, Indian medicines are generally allowed when travelling to Cambodia, provided they are for personal use. You should carry medicines in their original packaging and keep a copy of the doctor’s prescription, especially for long-term or regular medication. Common medicines for fever, cold, diabetes, blood pressure, and digestion are usually not an issue. However, strong painkillers, sedatives, or narcotic substances are restricted. You must also avoid carrying large quantities of medicines, as this can raise questions at customs.

Is travel insurance in Cambodia mandatory?

Although you are not legally required to purchase travel insurance to enter Cambodia, it is strongly recommended. The reason is that it shields you from unexpected expenses arising from medical emergencies, loss of a passport, delayed or lost baggage, and third-party legal liabilities.

What safety precautions should one follow when travelling to Cambodia?

Here are some safety precautions you must follow when travelling to Cambodia: Keep an eye on your belongings. Pickpocketing in Cambodia can happen in busy markets, bus stations, and tourist spots. Choose licensed tuk-tuks, hotel-arranged taxis, or ride-hailing apps, where available, to avoid scams. Stick to well-lit and busy areas late at night, especially in cities like Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. Do not drink tap water. Always use bottled or filtered water. Street food is delicious, but choose stalls that are busy and look clean.

Can I use Indian debit or credit cards in Cambodia?

Yes, you can use Indian debit and credit cards issued on Visa or Mastercard networks. But since Cambodia remains a cash-heavy country, in rural areas, shops usually refuse card payments. If you use an ATM, it dispenses US dollars, not Cambodian riel, and typically charges $4–6 per withdrawal, plus Indian bank fees.

What are some places to explore in Cambodia?

When in Cambodia, do not skip the following places: Visit Angkor Wat and the Angkor Archaeological Park in Siem Reap. Don’t miss the nearby Bayon and Ta Prohm temples. When in Phnom Penh, visit the Royal Palace, Silver Pagoda, Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, and Choeung Ek Killing Fields. Visit Tonlé Sap Lake, Southeast Asia’s largest freshwater lake, known for its floating villages. If beaches are your thing, head to Sihanoukville and the southern islands, such as Koh Rong and Koh Rong Sanloem. If you love exploring nature, head to Mondulkiri and Phnom Kulen. You can also visit Battambang, which features French colonial buildings and the famous bamboo train.

How to get currency exchange before flying to Cambodia?

Before you fly to Cambodia, visit authorised forex dealers, banks, or airport exchange counters to convert Indian Rupees into US Dollars. Make sure you carry small-denomination notes to pay for small expenses like a taxi. Avoid street exchangers due to the risk of fake notes and poor rates. You can also load a forex travel card for added safety and convenience.
