Default Safety in Cambodia

Is it now safe to travel around Cambodia? We'll be in Siem Reap and
travel from there to PP and continue to Saigon.

Yes. The last Khmer Rouge fighters were only defeated in the late
1990's, so a lot of earlier guidebooks will say that Cambodia is too
dangerous for travel (or at least outside Siem Reap and PP), but that
is no longer true.

Land mines are still a major hazard, so don't go off the path in
uncleared areas. Also, PP has its share of petty crime (pickpocketing,
bag snatching, etc.), and armed robbery can be a problem at night, so
wear a money belt and stay in well-lit areas at night.

Hi,


I think it is safe to travel there. I was there last summer and it was
very nice.

I went to Siem Reap too.

If you are interested, you can visit my travel blog here

I posted some photos there too.

I hope you will have a good time in Cambodia.
