Money Issues Reviews
  Apr 03, 2007
Business in Cambodia is conducted in US dollars- they won’t accept old bills so keep yours brand spanking new. The Cambodian money is called reals, about 4000 to one US dollar.
I found it really useful to have 500 and 1000 real notes on hand so that I could give money to the people I took pictures of- plus there will be plenty of orphanages with donation boxes around that you feel inclined to give to. There are plenty of ATMs in Siem Reap and they all dispense US dollars.  Part of the The Journey Home travel blog |
