Petty Crime:

Petty crime, like stealing phones and bags, happens a lot in places like Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, and Sihanoukville.

Don’t leave your stuff unattended.
If you’re robbed, it’s safer to give up your money and valuables without fighting back.

Landmines:

Cambodia has a lot of landmines, especially in places like the Preah Vihear Phnom Kulen temple areas and along the borders with Thailand. Even in rural areas like Banteay Meanchey and Battambang, there can be landmines. So, it’s essential to stay away from these areas for your safety.
