Health and Food

We do not recommend raw foods such as beef salads (raw beef & vegetables) , shrimp Koh Kong(raw iced shrimps) or local Cambodian fish paste (fermented fish) unless you order it from our recommended restaurants.

We recommend the local filtered bottled water named Oral or Lyyon as well as all western imported brands. Ice cubes are sometimes made out of unfiltered water and transported by trucks so we recommend moderate use of ice in Khmer cafes and restaurants. Alternatively hot beverages like tea and coffee are usually safe to consume because the water has been boiled.

Malaria & Dengue Fever are still widespread but less so in air-Conditioned

Hotels that have sealed windows. If you stay in guesthouses with traditional ventilation (windows & fans) you should use mosquito repellent cream or sprays.

To help your body recover nicely from the touring efforts of the day we do recommend the Massage Services in Cambodia because it is very affordable and therapeutic massages are still an important traditional therapy in Cambodia.
