Travelers should also take steps to avoid mosquito bites and mosquito-borne disease like malaria and dengue. Share your itinerary with a travel medicine specialist to see if there are other steps you can take to prevent malaria, including antimalarials.

See our vaccinations page to learn more about these infections and vaccines. Ready to protect yourself? Book your travel health appointment today by calling or schedule online now.

Tourist and business visas are valid for one month once the traveler enters the country. Additionally, the import and export of local currency (Riel) is prohibited.

Due to the country’s location close to the equator, Cambodia has a very warm climate.

November through February in is typically cool and dry. December and January are often thought of as the best times to visit due to the warm days and clear skies.

March through May are hot and dry, though there are occasional rain showers in the afternoons. From June to August it is hot and wet, as the monsoon rains begin.

Finally, September through early November is cool and wet, with the monsoon season coming to an end in late October.

The U.S. government has released some warnings regarding terrorism in Southeast Asia. All travelers should be cautious, particularly in places where large groups gather (schools, churches, nightclubs, etc).

Cambodia has a high crime rate. Petty crime, such as pick-pocketing and theft are common. Traveling alone after dark is not recommended.

Avoid mosquitoes and other bugs

Mosquito-borne infections are a threat globally.Insect-borne disease are a
threat throughout the world.

Angkor Wat is the largest religious monument in the world found in Angkor, Cambodia. It was built as a Hindu temple for the god Vishnu in the Khmer Empire. During the 12th century it became a Buddhist temple. The temple architecture is meant to represent that of Mount Meru, home of the gods.

The site is a gorgeous place to visit for those wanting to admire its architectural beauty (there are pillars decorated with lotus rosettes and dancing figures) or for those looking to better understand the history of the country.

A trip to Cambodia is an unforgettable experience. Make sure you bring everything you’ll need to enjoy it to the fullest.

  • A money belt – Due to the amount of pick-pocketing that occurs, a money belt will allow you to keep your money and passport safe.
  • A sweater/pashmina – Many of the religious sites have a strict dress code, but the temperature outside will be very warm. A sweater or pashmina that one can wear inside and then remove is a great idea.
  • Sunscreen – Cambodia very warm and gets a lot of sunlight, meaning sunscreen is important.
  • Walking shoes – Visitors will likely want to explore the huge religious sites or the gorgeous outdoors, making good shoes a must.

When traveling it is very helpful to find out exactly where the U.S. embassy or consulates are located. Keep the address written down in case you have a legal problem, you lose your passport, or you want to report a crime. Be sure to keep a copy of your passport with you in case you lose the original.

“Excellent Service“
“My wife and I visited for immunizations in preparation for a trip to Cambodia. Our nurse was extremely informative and highly professional. She assisted us in choosing the immunizations that we would require for a safe trip and provided us with an excellent reference booklet customized for our itinerary. Overall, we were very pleased with our experience at Passport Health.”

★★★★★
“Well Prepared“
“I was nervous about my visit before my volunteer trip to Cambodia because I don’t do well with shots, but my nurse was so helpful! When I walked in she was prepared with maps, videos, and an information packet made specifically for my visit. She was honest about what was necessary and what was optional, as well as the costs of all the vaccinations. As for the shots, they weren’t as bad as I was expecting, because the nurse was courteous and played a video to distract me. Also, the prices were all reasonable! Overall, a great experience, and I feel very prepared for my upcoming volunteer trip!”

“Cambodia Again“
“Our family of three will be making our second trip to Cambodia. Our first trip was in 2010-2011. We first visited Passport Health in 2010 to make sure we had all the vaccinations that were needed for our time in East Asia. We went back to Passport Health again to confirm that we did or do not need any immunizations or boosters, or if there were any new health care concerns. We highly recommend Passport Health.”

“Best nurse ever“
“I had less than a week to prepare for my Cambodia trip when I realized I needed vaccinations. I was concerned after reading the CDC website, of the dangers of certain diseases in the area I was visiting. The RN was so informative and helped eased my anxiety about traveling, as well as my fear of shots. In addition to wonderful service, I was given a traveling itinerary that was prepared for me before our meeting. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone traveling in the future!”

The booklet she provided is helpful and will be a good resource.

Submitted by: Alison

“Travel shots“
“The RN was familiar with me, where I was traveling, and what vaccinations I have already received. She didn’t have to take time and look this up while I was sitting there. She was knowledgeable about the countries I am visiting (Cambodia and Vietnam) and gave great advice on how to stay healthy. Enjoyable overall!”

“Great Idea, Easy Solution“
“I recently went to Passport Health in preparation for a mission trip to Cambodia. I found them via Google search and thought what a great idea to myself. Since I no longer have a primary physician, it seemed like a great alternative. As it turns out, my trip was fast, efficient, informative and cost effective to Passport Health. I would definitely use them again.”
