2 Geographical Status of Cambodia HISTORY AND GEOGRAPHY Cambodia, officially knows as the Kingdom of Cambodia, is a country located in the Southern portion of the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia. It is bordered with Thailand to the Northwest, Laos to the Northeast, Vietnam to the East, and the Gulf of Thailand to the Southwest with an area of 181,035 square kilometers. The Kingdom of Cambodia was part of the ancient kingdom of Funan. Today it comprises four cities (the capital, Phnom Penh, plus Pailin, Sihanoukville and Kep) and 21 provinces. The Mekong River, which flows through the country, and the Tonle Sap (Great Lake) are the lifeline of the people who live along the waterways. The Tonle Sap is one of the richest sources of freshwater fish in the world. There are three main mountain ranges, namely the Cardamom mountains in the South West, the Dangkrek mountains in the North and the Annamite mountains in the North East.

3 Siem Reap - Angkor Siem Reap town, surrounded by rice fields and rivers, is a developing provincial city and gateway to the famous ancient temples of the Khmer empire, the UNESCO Angkor World Heritage Site.

4 Siem Reap, the Temples of Angkor The temples of Angkor are one of the wonders of the world and a leading archaeological site in Southeast Asia. One of humanity s greatest architectural achievements (or, better yet, one of its greatest achievements, period), Angkor has tantalized Western travelers since 1858, when Henri Mouhot, a French naturalist, stumbled upon it in the jungle, and it became famous as the Lost City of Asia. During what is called the Angkor period, the Khmer Kings erected those mainly stone structures throughout their empire, but a larger number of them are concentrated in their ancient capital, Angkor. Some 100 temples, both large and small, are located in an area of 401 square kilometers known as the Angkor site. It is in Siem Reap province and over 300 kilometers northwest of Phnom Penh. The Angkor temples and their surroundings have been included on UNESCO s World Heritage List since 1992.

5 Cambodia - Destination Tips VISAS Almost all foreign visitors are now able to obtain the Cambodia visa upon arrival at the airport.

Visa on arrival are also possible with a special authorized letter. For all other countries, it is no longer necessary to get the visa stamp at the Cambodian Embassy before their visit. Just prepare the following documents: - 1 photo (4 x 3 cm) -US$ 30 Cash for tourist visa fees -Free for some ASEAN Nationals (Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam) EXPRESS CHECK OUT/CHECK IN Guests can leave their passports with our airport staff, who will take care of the visa formalities with the immigration officials and return the passports to the hotel later the same day.

6 Cambodia - Destination Tips CLIMATE Cambodia's temperatures range from 15 to 38 degrees Celsius and experiences tropical monsoons. Southwest monsoons blow inland bringing moisture-laden winds from the Gulf of Thailand and Indian Ocean from May to October. The northeast monsoon ushers in the dry season, which lasts from November to March. The country experiences the heaviest precipitation from September to October with the driest period occurring from January to February. The best months to visit Cambodia are November to January when temperatures and humidity are lower. CURRENCY The currency of Cambodia is the Riel. It is strongly advisable to carry US$ notes as these are accepted in all country. US coins are not accepted, this is when the smaller local notes are used instead. There are approximately 4,000 Riels to 1 US$.

7 Cambodia - Destination Tips HEALTH Neither vaccinations nor inoculations are required for the entry to Cambodia unless arriving from a contaminated region. Foreign medicaments can be easily found in major towns but it s strongly advised to take along any prescription medicine with sufficient supplies. There is no problem to find a foreign doctor or dentist in Phnom Penh or Siem Reap. Royal Angkor International Hospital in Siem Reap Angkor is first Indochina regional hospital affiliated with Bangkok Hospital Medical Centre; part of the broadest coverage hospitals network in Thailand and the Southeast Asia. If you require medical attention in Cambodia, you will be expected to pay cash even if you have medical insurance. Keep all your receipts and claim the cost back from your insurance company when you return home. Mosquitoes commonly bite between dusk and dawn, so wear long-sleeved clothing and long trousers when going out at night. Colognes, perfumes, after-shaves and dark clothes attract mosquitoes, so avoid these and use insect repellent whenever possible. The dengue mosquito however bites during the day, so never let down your guard. Insect repellent can be easily found in towns, but many visitors have their own favorite brands - bring your own.

8 Cambodia - Destination Tips PACKING Clothing Light clothing made from natural fibers is the best clothing for the region. People generally dress modestly. Women visitors are not expected to wear skirts, but miniskirts and revealing shorts, may often be viewed as 'not polite'. The best plan is to dress modestly like the locals. Bring sandals or slip-ons to take off easily when entering temples. Electronic Electrical multi adaptor if you plan on bringing electrical appliances - there are many different types of plug sockets used in the region. For example, there are hotels in the region built by Singaporean companies that use Singaporean (UK) standard plugs, rather than local standards - so be prepared! SD card and camera film can be found in the major towns but may be more difficult to come across in remote parts of the country. We advise you to bring plenty of SD card and video tape. Essential Document Passport with minimum 6-month validity left after departure day from Cambodia; Travel insurance; Blood donor/type card; Prescriptions for any medication you require. Most chemists will sell medicine over the counter without a script, but if you are searched by immigration it's good to be able to show you require what you're carrying.
