I usually take a photocopy to use when cashing t/cheques (though next trip will dispense with t/c and use cash and ATMs) and leave p/p in the in-room safe in our hotel (or safety deposit box if no in room safe). No other need to have p/p on you.

Angkorlad made a great suggestion just a couple of days ago - a colour copy or scan/print of your p/p then laminate and carry this - no problem then with wet/dirt/etc.

We found Cambodia safe and the people incredibly friendly - you may just lose your heart like us (and many regular posters on this forum)- the urge to return kicks in quickly.

Avoid aming yourself a possible target - no flashy jewellery or big wads of cash and you will have a wonderful time.

happy travels

The above posters have given you great advice. Including loosing you heart to the Cambodian people!!!!

We never take our passports with us, we leave them safely at the Guest house. We do take them when wanting to change money but even then they were'nt that fussed on seeing them!!!

So keep them safe at the Guest house or Hotel or ask for them to be put in the safe box, you will be fine.

just keep your passport locked away siem reap is very safe.but normal precautions as with anywhere.try to book into a hotel or guest house with an in room safe,dont carry too much money atms are everywhere
