Cambodia is a land of breathtaking beauty and unimaginable heartbreak. The country has been through loss and rebuilding in a way that is hard for many visitors to understand. However, this is only one part of the history that makes of up this amazing country. The UNESCO World Heritage site of Angkor is located in the northern province of Siem Reap, covering over 200 miles, and it includes the temples of Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, and the Bayon Temple. These archaeological sites offer travelers the opportunity to experience the architectural feats of the Khmer Empire, which existed between the 9th and 15th century. If that isn’t enough for you, try a visit to the banks of the Mekong Delta. This expansive river is the transportation route for many goods from neighboring countries and is always busy. No matter what your interests are, Cambodia is sure to delight.

“One Stop for Everything You Need to Travel Abroad!“ “After researching CDC website, calling my primary care doctor, and the health department to try to get a handle on what was recommended to travel to Cambodia to help ensure a healthy vacation and a healthy return, I finally came across Passport Health. We went yesterday to meet with the staff who provided all the information we needed to decide on which vaccines were needed, help and advice on how to prevent exposure to mosquito, water and food born illnesses. The vaccines were all available right there at their office (all of the county health departments I called were out of one or the other and the primary care doc could only provide a prescription for the vaccines and then you are on your own to track down someone who has it in stock), they also provided prescriptions for preemptive meds such as malaria medication and antibiotics in case of travellers gut issues. They also have insect repellants and other OTC products available right there at their office. This was a great experience and I surely wish I’d found them earlier and could have saved two days of wasted time trying to do it all myself. They were able to get us an appointment for the very next day.”

“Very Knoweldgeable and Professional“ “Met with Nurse Kim who was very professional and knowledgeable. She went through all the potential risks associated with my travel to Vietnam and Cambodia and explained the various shots and pills that would be best to alleviate those risks. She gave me an injection for typhoid and the second injection for Hepatitis A. She explained why she thought I didn’t need malaria drugs and the best way to assure mosquitoes left me alone – using DEET religiously. She was very thorough. I would definitely recommend Passport Health.”
