2. Money & Currencies

You’ll find that you can carry both the USD (United States Dollar) and the local currency, the Cambodian riel, to pay for goods & services. The USD is a widely accepted currency and is the defacto currency for most tourists, though having some riel will help with the smaller transactions. Most new establishments in the shopping malls do accept cashless payments.
Expect to receive riel as change even when transacting with USD.

3. Embassy or Consulates

Do ensure you know where your country’s embassy is located in Cambodia in the event of an emergency. Keep the address and contact details with you.
