Things to Do in Cambodia for American Travelers
American couples typically pair a sunrise tour of Angkor Wat in Siem Reap with two or three beach days on Koh Rong or Koh Rong Samloem after the temple circuit. Active U.S. travellers extend the trip with a Mekong River cruise toward Phnom Penh or a Battambang bamboo train detour, all of which fit comfortably inside the 30-day Type T allowance.
Your Cambodia eVisa covers all regions — no internal visa or border crossing required once you're inside the country.
Cambodia Travel Tips for American Citizens
Practical advice from travellers who've been — currency, connectivity, weather, and the eVisa print rule that catches everyone out at Cambodian immigration.
Currency
US dollars are accepted almost everywhere alongside Cambodian Riel. You do not need to exchange currency before flying — small change comes back in Riel.
Best time to visit
November to April (dry season). May to October brings monsoon rains — southern coastal regions are most affected. November to February is the sweet spot for Angkor Wat.
Connectivity
Buy a local SIM at Phnom Penh or Siem Reap airport ($2–3 USD). Most foreign phones work on GSM. Metfone and Smart are the recommended carriers — both have airport kiosks.
Health
No mandatory vaccinations. Hepatitis A and Typhoid are commonly recommended. Drink bottled water only — even in major hotels. Carry mosquito repellent for evening visits to temples.
Print your eVisa
Print 2 copies of your approved eVisa on A4 paper. Cambodian immigration does NOT accept mobile screenshots. We email PDF-ready files with print instructions.
