Cambodia Travel Guide (1) - Safety, Transport & Budget Tips! π°πβοΈ
Overall vibe? Surprisingly chill & safe β especially in Siem Reap! Even in Phnom Penh (with basic precautions), I had zero issues with theft. β οΈ Must-Know Tips π Packing: Summer clothes + 1 jacket (for 4AM Angkor Wat sunrise or night buses β it gets COLD! π₯Ά) π‘οΈ Safety: Phnom Penh: Use Grab app (track routes!), keep valuables in a crossbody bag. Siem Reap: More relaxed β haggle with tuk-tuk drivers freely! π Transport: Visa on Arrival (Phnom Penh Airport): Smooth! No bribes needed (signs clearly state this). Phnom Penh β Siem Reap: $16 night bus (5hrs, bring a blanket!). Siem Reap β Phnom Penh: $10 minivan (6hrs, book via 12Go). π¨ Accommodation: Phnom Penh: Vincent Hotel (~Β₯150/night) β basic but nearfor safety. Siem Reap: Onederz Hostel ($7/day!) β social vibe, great for solo travelers (and their food slaps! π). π° Budget Breakdown: Angkor Wat 3-day pass: $62 (must!). TonlΓ© Sap boat tour: $19 (book via hostel). Food/Drinks: $6/meal, $1 fruit shakes β not crazy expensive! Scooter Rental: $5/day (but watch for accidents β heat = fast infection! π©Ή).
