Is medical care in Cambodia good?
Absolutely not. Most expats living in Cambodia have medical evacuation insurance in case of emergency, which will get them to Thailand or Singapore. Women generally choose to give birth in a hospital in Thailand where possible. You do not want to be hospitalised in Cambodia. What should I pack? First on your list should be an open mind and a sense of humour. Don’t come with too many preconceived ideas about what Cambodia is like, as media and friends’ experiences have a habit of distorting reality. Otherwise, bring as little as possible. Take enough padlocks for every double zipper to stop wandering hands and lock up your sacred belongings, even in your hotel room. Essentials are a swimming costume, a day pack and a raincoat or umbrella in rainy season. You will only need a couple of changes of clothes as you can get washing done anywhere cheaply. Remember dark clothes do not need to be washed as often, as long as you do not have a BO problem or sweat profusely. Sandals are a good idea
