Packing List

by rm2co

My trip in 2002 was only 7 days, 6 nights, so a 65 litre backpack was sufficient. Packed it half full as I intended to do some shopping for souveniers, etc. For daily use, I had a day pack for my camera, film, light snacks and water. For my trip in late Aug-Sep 2007, I used a medium sized trolley bag since I was going to be in Siem Reap only for 5 days. Day pack was also used this time round. Comfortable walking shoes, sneakers since there's a fair bit of walking to do. Light comfortable cotton clothing which absorbs sweat, since it's pretty humid as well. For the cooler months (November-February), thicker cotton clothes may be advisable. A hat may be helpful in keeping off the sun while a scarf will definitely be helpful in keeping the dust off your face when travelling beyond Banteay Srei, to Kobal Spaen and beyond. Sunblock, insect repellant and lip balm are the essentials. Water...

You'll need these!

by Meg_nanako

Crocs or good walking sandals/slippers are a must, as there're lots of walking and climbing on steep slopes. Bring a pair of gloves if you are those who hates to dirty your hands while clinging on to the steps as your climb up the peaks of AngkorWat. Very dusty place so cleaning stuff for your camera is advisable. morning mist may also affect your lens, so open up the cover to air your lens and cleaning it before use will help. A small hand-fan (electrical or non-electric) is a must. Bring sunglasses, hat and an umbrella if you don't like the sun.

Cambodia eGuide along with Visa application

by jenniferl

I've applied for the Cambodia e-Visa at their site, and got my Visa delivered to my email. In addition to that, there was an option of 2 travel eGuides - 1 to Siem Reap and 1 to Phnom Penh. I downloaded the Siem Reap one since i'll be visiting Angkor. Browse through it, fine it quite a good read. Could be useful!

necessities

by cigarettebarbie

bring repellent, and sunscreen. the sun here beats down mercilessly. it also gets ridiculously hot and dry, so bring moisturiser unless you want your skin to flake. if possible, wear covered shoes. i made the mistake of wearing birkenstocks and i had peeling skin on my feet. EW.

Money!

by amansfield

We were very concerned before going to Cambodia in Jan 06 as we had read that there were no ATMs and as such took American Dollars. By the time we arrived there had been some ATMS installed in Phnom Penh and Siem Riep. There is really no need to get Cambodian currency as everything is done in US dollars and you will really only get Cambodian currency as change (ie US 50c change will come back in local currency)

Sun Block or get burned.

by Dorphineprincess

A very safe back pack, to stop any temptation of stealing.Pickpockets are available in Central market in Pnom penh and in Sihanouville. They are only small kids following tourists around, you should be alert, they might be up to no good.Going on the Angkor day tour involves a lot of climbing, which means energy consuming, so take enough bottled- water along in your bag. They have locally bottled water, it is kind of with a strange taste, (I tried once, well, my stomach was still good after wards ;-)). Anyway, there is still a solution : many street stands have imported purified water, half a dollar a bottle of 1-1.5 litres Slipers are very good enough to go around; Prepare a raincoat, especially in rainy seasons; It's hot all year round, well ,almost.. Like in October, the sun is burning in sunny days. some medicine for mosquito bites, especially if you plan to go out at night.If you...

Flashlight!! (Essential for Sunset)

by muddybok

Small flashlight if you're to stay late for sunset. Esp sunset @Phnom Bakheng & Angkor Wat. Personally, i prefer a MagLight better than this Pelican water resistant torch. However, i cannot afford a MagLight & this bright yellow Pelican torch light make it easy to find among my packed clothes.After someone i hardly know drown my Pelican light 15M below sea level, i cannot use it underwater but on surface only.

- Digital Camera with good macro shot- High ASA for indoor cravings- Tripod for sunrise & sunset- Black & white films for more classic shots Walk into cyber cafe that say "CD-WRITER" to offload your memory sticks & make way for more shots. ;-)Better still if you have an iPod (with Camera Adapter) or X-Drive kind of digital storage devices.

Packing List

by ECYM

Most roads on Siem Reap have lots off potholes and it is dusty. It's good to travel with a haversack, not advisable to bring a travel suitcase (even if it has wheels) For wet season (Jun - Nov) - bring raincoat, the down pour can be huge and fairly long in duration. Sandals and trackshoes are fine for climbing the steep stairs of the temples. Shoes with the slightest heels arent that appropriate.Hat that can block the heat and the rays from the sun is essential even in wet season. mosquito repellent is to be applied at all times!!! :Pmasks are essential if the flying dust on the road bothers you. Tripod (not mini)

Passportcarrier of a ninja, or the paranoid.

by medesin

At times one might find it convenient to really hide valuables and for that matter I´ve made my first rough design of the strap-on secret pocket.I used a tough fabric woven rather "airy" to let the underlaying skin breatheproperly (as opposed to the fake bandate I tied on my thigh once to conceala larger amount of money and passports - after 24h hours of consecutive travelit left the skin a bit soar with small itching red dots).This model is supposed to be worn with the pocket on the innner thigh, view thesecond photo for example.Now, last time I used a sewing machine was about 13 years ago in elementaryschool, so bear with me here (also, I didn´t have the patience to make drawingsor go find any pin needles for the job...).The idea is to use this little contraption during night-time travel (while sleeping)or when venturing in lesser secure areas.
