Use an insect repellent against mosquitoes. It is the only
way to be sure of protection against mosquito borne diseases. Since Cambodia has a
hot and humid tropical climate, casual and light-weight clothing is best. Clothing
made from natural fibers is the best option. A jacket might be needed on cool winter
evenings or in hotels and restaurants using excessive air-conditioning. A hat
and high-factor sun block is advisable as protection against the hot sun when
sightseeing.
When visiting temples or pagodas, including those of Angkor
Wat, shorts and T-shirts are acceptable. Shoes are generally removed at the
entrance to pagodas. For visits to the Silver Pagoda, which is within the Royal Palace
grounds, visitors are asked to dress more formally. Gentlemen are required to
wear long trousers and ladies should wear long trousers or long skirts.
Standard film, (such as Kodak, FUJI or Konica 100), slide and digital camera
memory are widely available. Photos are inexpensive to process in the country. Any
specialized photo equipment should be brought with you. Photography in airports,
railway stations and near any military installations is forbidden and
discretion should be used when photographing people, particularly monks. The
cheapest & best quality photo service in Phnom Penh is SPK Photo Studio FUJI Shop at Monivong Blvd.
HEALTH REQUIREMENTS
Although no vaccinations are officially required for entry
to Cambodia ,
they are highly encouraged. Visitors are advised to check with their doctor or
a travel immunization clinic regarding protection against malaria, typhoid, tetanus,
hepatitis A and B. Any essential medications should be brought with you as
there is no guarantee they will be available in Cambodia .
