Frequently Asked Questions
What currency should I use in Cambodia, and are credit cards accepted?
The US Dollar (USD) is the most common currency for tourists and is accepted almost everywhere. The local currency, the Cambodian Riel (KHR), is mainly used for smaller transactions or for change less than $1. You will need cash for most small shops, street food, and tuk-tuks, as credit cards are typically only accepted in large hotels, shops, and Western-style restaurants.

What should I wear when visiting the ancient temples?
You must dress respectfully when visiting religious sites, including the Angkor temples. This is a sign of respect for the local culture. All visitors must have their shoulders covered (no tank tops or halter tops) and wear pants, capris, or skirts that cover their knees. Comfortable, lightweight, and breathable clothing is highly recommended due to the heat.

How do we travel between the major sites and cities?
We use a combination of private, air-conditioned transportation for longer distances and local transportation for city and site tours. To experience local life and keep transportation flexible, we walk and use tuk-tuks (motorized rickshaws) in the cities like Siem Reap. All transportation is pre-arranged, vetted, and driven by our reliable local partners to ensure group safety.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions and food allergies?
Yes, we can accommodate most dietary restrictions with advance notice. Khmer cuisine is naturally gluten-free in many cases (relying on rice noodles), and vegetarian options are common. Please notify us of any allergies (especially to peanuts or seafood, which are common ingredients), and we will work closely with our local chefs to ensure safe, delicious, and authentic meal options are prepared for every teen.
