Health:

Staying healthy is the key to happy living wherever you are, but this can be difficult when in a foreign environment. Finding the right foods, getting adjusted to a new climate, new germs and new stresses are all part of the process. Expat tips on our forums will make it a little easier on you and your family.

There are a number of health risks associated with travel to Cambodia and travelers are advised to seek the latest medical advice on vaccinations and precautions especially regarding typhoid, cholera, malaria, hepatitis B and polio, at least three weeks before traveling. Malaria prophylaxis is recommended for all areas except Phnom Penh, around Lake Tonle Sap and the Angkor temple complex.

Dengue fever, transmitted by mosquitoes, is prevalent especially in heavily populated areas. Diarrhea is the number one ailment afflicting travelers. Visitors should assume that the water is not safe to drink; bottled water is widely available. Avoid uncooked meat, unpeeled fruit, salads and food sold by street vendors.

Phnom Penh is not really the place you'd want to get sick or hospitalised so make sure you have good medical insurance that includes a flight to Bangkok if you can afford it. Having said that there are some excellent doctors, dentists and eye care specialists here that provide excellent service.

ICE:

When in the major cities you needn't worry about the ice, there are two types the eating and the cooling ice. The eating ice is usually cylindrical with a hole in the middle. The large block ice is used for cooling but is also used by the locals as drinking ice. Try to avoid the block ice.
