What to Pack

by Cathy&Gary

If you travel economy class then your check in luggage weight limit is 20 kilograms per person. So make sure you have lightweight suitcases, our cases are huge but they only weight just under 5 kilo's.Don't bring home anything you can do without - throw or give away all your toiletries, shampoo, conditioner etc, all the little things that add up in weight.Load up your hand luggage with any heavy items you have bought, its surprising how much shopping you can cram in a backpack. You are allowed 7 kilos in hand luggage.Most airlines will let you be a few kilo's over, we went for years coming back home overweight, until last year when we were done by Malaysia Airlines for nearly $300 in excess fee's!If you have filled your cases before you leave home, then unpack and start again - half the amount you had in there.You do not need 10 changes of clothes, 5 pairs of shoes, 20 ton of...

Luggage & Bags

by Cathy&Gary

Luggage And Bags: As most of us can only bring back 20 kilos of luggage (not counting hand luggage) make sure you have lightweight suitcases, our cases are huge but only weigh just under 5kilos.Dont bring home anything you can do without. Throw (give) away all your toiletries eg, shampoos, conditioners, deodorants etc, all these little things add up in weight.Load up your hand luggage with any heavy items you have bought, its amazing how much shopping you can cram into a backpack.Happy Shopping!!

What to Pack...

Wear light clothing (e.g. T-shirts and shorts / bermudas). Bring a cap / hat cos it is really hot and sunny! Mosquito repellent is a must-have! I brought a can of mozzie spray and used it everyday, but I still got bitten in a few areas on my legs... It would have been worse if I had not sprayed on the repellent! Bring camera, memory cards or rolls of films. We took lots of photos. Remember not to spend all your money! You need to pay a departure tax of USD 25 per person when you leave.

Weather in March

by arianne_1504

The less the better. Long shoulder bags were great for the temples and general wandering around town. Make sure it has a long shoulder strap and can be zipped up. Respectful clothing, long sleeves, no low cut tops. Most of our tour group purchased "temple tops" - long sleeves cotton tops sold at most of the markets throughout Cambodia as the perfect attire. I also liked the fisherman pants. Nice loose fitting, cool clothing. Immodium. Also found those body wipes really helpful for the temples. MUST take a camera - but be respectful about taking photos of the locals and ask them first. A lot will want you to pay them for the photo afterwards. The weather in March was really hot. We found it best to get out early, then head back to the hotel for a nap/swim/meal before heading out later in the afternoon/early evening.

Clothes line - dental floss versatility!

by thedouglas

First on my what I must not forget next time list is a small clothes line! If you don't want your clothes put in dryers, or don't have the time, washing in your room is essential. We wear a lot of bushwalking clothes which dry fast - and, when we travel as a family, just so easy to wash socks and undies every day in room. Pic shows family resourcefulness on our last last holiday - but the daughter not keen to recycle the dental floss after the dirty sock and undie incident! Good advert for dental floss though - it never broke once!

Mosquito repellent a lot

by tedandtina

Travel light if possible, but with the essentials... Good walking shoessocksshort sleeve and maybe at least one-long sleeve for eveningShort pants and long pantsrain gear- just in case...seasonal A must!Mosquito repellent-so many mosquitos and ants. My kid got bit by ants.Maybe a first aid cream, antiseptic and band aids all sizes are helpfulAnti nausea, Anti Diarreah etc. guidebookUS Dollars-small bills...Map-you can pick up at hotels, airport etc. Logistically, good to keep around.

Things you can't live without in Siem reap

by yukisanto

Wear light clothes; since you'll be walking around and sweating alot. But no matter how dressed down you are, please make sure your top has sleeves. they are less forgiving of bare shoulders compared to Thailand. There are signs at the Angkor temples which says at least short sleeve attire for you to enter. I saw a woman stopped from entering because she was wearing spagetti top. Please bring mosquito repellent with you, or wear long pants and sleeves. If not, you really get it from the mozzies in the evening in the town. Wear shoes with good cusion soles. If not, the amount of walking will kill you. Sandals are definitely not a good idea. Besides, shoes protect you from the mozzies as well - they seem to attack the feet. Don't forget your caps and sunglasses. You won't regret it.

No photos needed when you buy angkor wat pass

by yukisanto

You don't have to bring any passport photos anymore. They take your photo using the webcam at the counter when you buy your angkor wat pass. Not very nice pics - but well, it saves the hassle.By the way, the pass costs USD 20 for a day, USD40 for 3 consecutive days and USD60 for 7 consecutive days.

For maximum tomb-raiding...

by urchinn

- Wear comfortable shoes w good grip cos those steps are pretty high and very narrow, even for standard Asian feet like mine. - T-shirts / Tops in 100% Cotton would be great as it can get really hot. Be prepared to sweat. A lot.
