Clothes: Cambodia is a tropical country with a very hot climate throughout the year; it is advised
to wear light cotton shirt or, running shoes, hats, sunglasses and sunscreen to protect the
straight sunshine. From June to October, it would be advisable to bring umbrellas and raincoats
and a sweater or sweatshirt, the rest of the year and particularly from November to March
temperature is between 17 ° and 27 ° C.
Best time to travel to Cambodia: Because of the heat and the hot weather that is the tropical
condition in Cambodia, I recommend winter as the best time to travel, basically the months of
November to March which during the dry season, they are the most desirable for travel. The
hottest season runs from April to May, reaching temperatures between 30 ° and 38 ° C, with
high humidity and also at any time of year. The rainy season in Cambodia is from June to
October, although I must say that in the morning is usually raining. It offers relatively cooler
temperatures of between 27 and 35.
Kit and precautions: There is no compulsory vaccination to travel to Cambodia except for
citizens from countries with risk of yellow fever, but it is highly recommended to be vaccinated
against tetanus, Japanese encephalitis, hepatitis A and B and rabies which you must get before
departure to Cambodia, also, there are some area in Cambodia with the risk of Malaria
especially the region bordering with Thailand and Northern toward the northern border as well,
so, it would be advisable to take anti-malarial tablets, and take every precaution against
mosquitoes (repellent, trousers and shirts with long sleeves, especially at dawn and dusk,
mosquito nets, etc.) It is important to drink plenty of water, as often occur many cases of
dehydration among tourists, and always drink bottled water, and eat peeled or cooked food. We
should not be surprised if we see some measure of security to which we are not used, as all
travelers entering the country must go through a thermal scanner in order to check that there is
no problem of swine flu. In fact, those with fever or flu symptoms could be turned away at the
border. Otherwise, go prepared with analgesics, antihistamines if you have any allergies, and
medicines for stomach problems.
Electronics appliances: The electrical voltage in Cambodia is 220 volts at 50 Hz. And an
irregular supply. You need to bring an electrical adapter plugs with two flat pins, American type.
Bargaining in Cambodia: Although Cambodian law requires sellers to set prices to their products
and goods, then, if you want to get a reasonable price, you have to go through the ritual of
haggling, which is usually nice with exchanging smiles, getting a better and better price is all
depending on your negotiations skill

Khmer Empire, including Bayon, Chau Say Tevoda, and Ak Yum remained. The archaeological

French and Cambodians in 1955. Despite through hard times during the political turmoil of the
70s, it is known today for being as one of the most favorite beach destination in Cambodia. In
