Money Issues

by stmlnyc

The Cambodian riel takes about 4,000 to get $1 U.S. dollar. It is easiest to deal in dollars though as everything here is quoted in dollars. A good idea is to bring a stack of $1 and $5 bills before making the trip.If need be, you can also exchange riels for Japanese yen and Thai baht.
