Discover more about the four Worthy Causes you will visit on the tour.
Filled with immersive experiences, cultural encounters, and impactful visits to Worthy Causes.
The Khmer people are modest and dress conservatively. When visiting pagodas and temples, revealing clothes must not be worn—bare shoulders and knees will be viewed as disrespectful. It is advisable to carry a sarong (scarf) to wrap around your shorts or to cover your shoulders.
Tipping is not customary in Cambodian culture, so it is not necessarily expected in bars and restaurants. Tips are, however, very gratefully received. With the average Cambodian wage still very low, tips from tourists can make a real difference, so we do suggest to honor good service. Our guests typically reward our guides with USD 5 - 15 per person per day, while drivers usually receive USD 3 - 5 per person per day.
Riel is the currency of Cambodia but US dollars are widely used and most prices will be in US dollars. When receiving change from a dollar, the cents will be returned to you in riel. Note that even slightly torn US dollar bills will not be accepted. Visa & MasterCard are accepted in most hotels and some restaurants. ATM’s are very common in every city and town. Please note that Cambodian riel are not convertible outside of Cambodia.
For expert advice consult your doctor or travel clinic. No vaccinations are mandatory, but some are recommended. Malaria is quite rare in Cambodia, and mostly in remote areas near the Thai and Vietnamese borders. We recommend to only drink bottled water as tap water is not safe enough for ingestion. There are numerous pharmacies where treatments for common traveler’s ailments are readily found.
Cambodia is a tropical country bathed in almost year-round sunshine with a high average temperature, so bring sun protection. There are two distinct seasons, dry and rainy. Between June and October it may rain every other afternoon but rarely in the morning. Dry season runs from November to April, with October to January being the coolest (relatively speaking!) time of year.
