GAY & LESBIAN TRAVELLERS
Cambodia is a very tolerant country when it comes to sexual orientation and the scene is
slowly coming alive in the major cities. But as with heterosexual couples, displays of pub-
lic affection are a basic no-no. Handy websites include:
Cambodia Out ( www.cambodiaout.com ) Promoting the GLBT community in Cambodia and the
gay-friendly Adore Cambodia campaign.
Sticky Rice ( www.stickyrice.ws ) Gay travel guide covering Cambodia and Asia.
INSURANCE
Make sure your medical insurance policy covers emergency evacuation: limited medical
facilities mean that you may have to be airlifted to Bangkok for problems such as a traffic
accident or dengue fever.
Worldwide travel insurance is available at www.lonelyplanet.com/travel_services . You
can buy, extend and claim online anytime, even if you're already on the road.
INTERNET ACCESS
Internet access is widespread and there are internet shops in all provincial capitals.
Charges range from 1500r to US$2.50 per hour.
Free wi-fi is the rule at pretty much all hotels, guesthouses and cafes in tourist hubs like
Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Battambang, and is usually available in all but the most re-
mote locales.
