The official currency in Cambodia is the Cambodian Riel (KHR), but the US dollar is widely accepted and commonly used.

Carrying both cash and card is recommended for flexibility.
In Phnom Penh, travelers should be cautious of petty theft, including pickpocketing and bag snatching, especially in crowded areas and on public transportation. Common scams involve tuk-tuk drivers overcharging or taking longer routes, and some vendors may inflate prices for foreigners. It's advisable to agree on fares beforehand and avoid displaying valuables openly. Additionally, be wary of unofficial ticket sellers and always use reputable transportation services to ensure safety.
Pack lightweight, versatile clothing suitable for the destination's climate, and use secure, lockable luggage to protect belongings.

Lastly, include a small first aid kit and personal hygiene items for added comfort during travel.
