Cambodia

As Cambodia continues to grow, so does its connection to the world. These days there are numerous places you can go to use your own laptop to connect to the internet. Not just in coffee shops but in fast food restaurants, bars, and even gas stations.

  • Electricity: 220V
  • Calling Code: 855
  • Internet TLD: .kh
  • Time Zone:  UTC +7
  • Drives on the right
  • Currency: Cambodian Riel KHR
The Cambodian riel is the official currency, but US dollars are universally accepted in Cambodia. Most ATMs dispense US dollars instead of riels. While there are sufficient ATMs in the major tourist areas of Sihanoukville, Siem Reap and Phnom Penh which dispense US$ it may be wise to bring your own supply of US$1, $5, $10 and $20 bills to avoid problems changing larger denominations of $50 or $100 notes.
.
Cambodian riels are used instead of US coins, at a fixed rate of 4000 riel/dollar for calculation convenience. So USD 1,50 is one dollar plus 2000 riel. There are also 20000 riel bills (5 USD), but higher amounts are usually paid in dollars.
.
ATMs can be found in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Battambang, Sihanoukville, and Kampot; both debit card withdrawls (Maestro, Cirrus, Plus, VISA) and cash advances on credit cards are possible. For the rest of the country it's best to stick to cash or traveller's checks (in US$).
