GUIDE

What to Pack
Dress is casual and conservative in style with the climate
being hot and humid most time of year. Bring lightweight,
loose fitting clothing in natural fibers like linen, silk and
cotton to be the most comfortable.
Longer skirts, trousers, blouses and shirts with sleeves to
cover your shoulders are the norm. It is preferred for
women to have their arms and legs covered, particularly
when visiting Wats.
Umbrella and rain jacket is essential during the rainy
season from May-November, but even during the other
months its wise to have one with you for those occasional
showers.
Mosquito repellant, sunscreen, sun hat, sunglasses, hand
sanitizer/handi-wipes, binoculars and a flashlight with
extra batteries for those common power surges.
Hiking or trekking shoes.
Public restrooms in Cambodia typically do not have toilet
tissue, so you may wish to carry a small amount during
your touring days.
Water purifier or a Safe Water Drinking Bottle since water
is not safe to drink in Cambodia.
Electronic chargers for your camera, phone, iPad, etc. and
extra camera memory card(s).
Electrical converter and outlet adapter. Their electrical
voltage is 120/220 volts AC, 50HZ and they use a two prong
outlet.
Due to restricted weight limits on all the Domestic flights
(20kg or 44 pounds) it is recommended that you travel
light.
