Currency
Exchange
US Dollars are
widely accepted and exchanged as are Thai Baht
close to the Thai border, but other currencies
are generally only recognised at banks.
Credit/Debit Cards and ATMs
Credit cards
are now more widely accepted in upmarket hotels,
shops and restaurants catering to visitors.
There are ATMs in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and
Sihanoukville. It is always best to carry cash
(US Dollars if necessary) in small
denominations.

not recommended. Traveller's cheques in US
Dollars can be changed at banks and some hotels,
