I'm coming to PP and SR for two weeks in March and I'm wondering if ATMs are widespread in these cities?

Also, do the ATMs there dispense USD?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I have been one month now in Phnom Penh and Kampot. I am using ATM's exclusively to fund my daily expenses. Sometimes I will use a credit card to pay for hotels or airfare. In Phnom Penh and Kampot you cannot walk 50 feet in the area's we would generally find ourselves in without passing a ATM kiosk. They will typically give you a choice to withdraw funds in Riel's or USD.

Paying for goods and services can seamlessly take place in USD or Riel's as you choose. Changing USD to Riel's can be done at money changer booths that are easy to find again in the area's we would generally find ourselves in. Paying for good's in services in large denomination USD bills can be a bit of a challenge at smaller establishment's so having a good supply of local currency is the practical thing to do.

Cambodia in general has been a very pleasant place to revisit after a seven year absence. The infrastructure is good, the people are friendly, the country is attractive and things in general are very affordable and reasonable. I don't consider it a good mongering location though. The majority of the action seems to be girlie bars which I no longer care for and I don't do online dating. I prefer a freelancer situation and I've not seen much evidence of that.

But it has been a good trip so far and I am enjoying it all. Depending on your age and desire's your experience will vary.

Cheers.

I saw no Africans at all, nor indeed any black people at all in Phnom pen 2 weeks ago.

Thank you Nyezhov, I appreciate you feedback. I have been in PP for about a week and now, staying in the St. 172 area. I have seen only two black women and they were obviously of the normal tourist variety and coupled up. Not something I am interested in.

No problem, I will keep my eyes open.

Thanks again for taking the time to pass on your comments.

Good day,

I will be arriving in Cambodia in a few days and will be staying a month or so, mostly in PP and Kampot. I'm wondering if anyone could comment on the availability of African ladies in either location?

It's six or seven years since I last visited Cambodia and I can't say I recall seeing any at that time.

Any information or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers to all.

Sam,

Have a great trip. I've been to Cambodia (and SE Asia) many many times and love to help others get the most out of their trip, particularly if it's a quick visit. Just be careful over there. I'm sure you won't have trouble though. But PM me if I can help.

Hi,

I'm thinking of a quick visit as I'm hoping for good bargains considering the market is not as developed here. When you say "just be careful", what do you mean? Any tips would be appreciated for a newbie if you can help thank you!

FYI, I applied for a visa on eVisa and received it within 48 hours by email.

Normal process.

Just make sure that the airline you are using is aware of this. Airlines seem to be the last to know when rules change. Here is a link to a Facebook group that is very reliable. This should tell you all that you need to know about the most Cambo entry requirements. https://www.facebook.com/groups/camb...24439204392368..

Hi Sam,

I am in BKK now and will fly to Phnom Penh early next month. Are you saying that I do not need to get a PCR test before I fly to present to Airline staff at check in? Current price of the text is around 3 - 4 K baht..

Cambodia has just opened to everybody who has proof of vaccination! No more insurance; no more quarantine (unless unvaxed); no more deposit; no more testing requirement before starting your flight; no more testing on arrival. Plus, can now get visa on arrival rather than only through Cambo's government Evisa portal. Bottom line: For those who are vaxed, it just like the old days. Plus, the bars are almost all open and staffed..

One of those agency to get the new visa etc to go to Cambodia warns you to be sure to get insurance, which is no longer required, I wonder if this situation how often someone gets scamed.
