Homestay experience Try living in a local's home and experience the real Cambodian life, which is also a different way of travel. 💗Other tips: Currency and payment The official currency of Cambodia is the riel, but the US dollar is also widely accepted. It is recommended to carry some cash, as not all places accept credit cards. Safety tips Phnom Penh is generally safe, but you still need to be vigilant when traveling, especially at night and in crowded places. Food culture Trying local food such as Amok and Cambodian hot pot is an important part of experiencing local culture.
