What issues should be paid attention to when traveling to Cambodia during the Spring Festival

1. Cambodia mainly uses the riel and the US dollar, and the locals can convert the exchange rate between the US dollar and the riel very quickly, so you can exchange the US dollar ...... before going abroad

2. The locals speak Khmer, which is close to Thai and Vietnamese, if you need to communicate, please speak English ...... if you don't know KhmerIf English is also very general, it is recommended to have a good translation software in advance. I used the Situ Bao recommended by a friend. The translation is quite good, and it is recommended.

There will naturally be a tour guide in the tourist area, after our observation, there are all kinds of languages, the price is basically 25 US dollars days, the tour guide charges different in each language, in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap two places, as long as the service staff who are involved with the tour can speak a little English. I feel that the local people's English should not be learned in school, it may be often used in daily life, slowly accumulated, because they speak no rules, the same as Chinese English, so a little effort, so I used the Situ Bao just mentioned earlier, or the most direct ...... in Khmer

3. Cambodia is special, there will be mines in local non-tourist areas, there are reminder signs on the side of the road, be careful of mines, but don't worry, the mines in the tourist area have long gone.

4. The locals do not have the concept of drinking hot water, eating and playing outside, the water at room temperature is taken out of the refrigerator, and if you want a glass of water, there must be a lot of ice cubes in the cup. For Chinese people who travel abroad, it is a little unaccustomed, so students in need can bring their own water bottle. The hotel now provides an electric kettle, and I heard that it is because the Chinese go to it more, and the store specially purchased the ......

5. If you find that you are giving more money than the locals, please do not feel strange or surprised, and do not take it seriously. Because there is a very strange rule in Cambodia, that is, the same consumption item, whether it is a car or buying something, the locals are a price, foreigners are a price, and there is no preferential treatment for the elderly and students for tourists. Take our bus from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap, where we buy a ticket for US$12 and the locals buy a ticket for US$9.

Cambodia is a country of faith and Buddhism. If you want to go, first get a general understanding, don't make a mistake. Hope you have a nice trip to Cambodia...
