Just wondering how Safe it is to visit Cambodia in terms of:
a) Personal Safety
b) Accomodations (4-Star hotels) -
c) Medically (infectous/tropical diseases + Water) etc.
I am in process of compiling a list of destinations for our annual trip abroad - we will be traveling to Asia - just wondering if Cambodia is worth a visit or not! And we can do it safely
Thanks in advance

1) Hi there, i was in Cambodia for 2 months as a single female traveller and i never felt my safety was compromised at all. Just use common sense ie not walking the streets alone late at night. Cambodian people are very friendly and helpful.
2) plenty of great accommodation. In Siem Reap i stayed in a place called new Riverside hotel which is just near the Angkor high school, i can get the web address. This place was amazing, not sure how many stars but brand new and rooms for around $25 per night! Transport right on your doorstep with a team of reputable tuk tuk drivers, swimming pool and free internet. The Tara Angkor is a 5 star hotel in Siem Reap. I'm not sure about Phnom Pehn. In sihanoukville i stayed Tranquility Guesthouse on Serendipity beach, bungalows for around $25 per night.
3) I had a combined Hep A and B shot and a typhoid injection. For malaria they use basically a broad spectrum antibiotic. It was overkill and i only needed it because i was teaching in remote areas.
Overall i highly highly recommend cambodia, the people will win you over so quickly!! Please dont hesitate to ask any questions :)
