Cambodia requires a valid passport and offers visas on arrival or online, but travelers should always check the latest entry rules. Health precautions like recommended vaccinations, travel insurance, and malaria prevention are advisable, especially outside cities. The country uses both Cambodian Riel and US dollars, with ATMs and cards available mainly in urban areas, while cash is preferred in rural regions. Visitors can get around by flights, buses, or tuk-tuks, stay connected via affordable SIM cards, and should respect local customs such as modest dress in temples and polite greetings.

Travelers can get around by bus, tuk-tuk, or boat along the Mekong, while domestic flights link major cities. Laos is generally safe and welcoming, with a relaxed pace of life.
