GOVERNMENT TRAVEL ADVICE
Travel advisories on government-run websites update nationals on the latest security situation in any
given country, including Cambodia. They are useful to check out for dangerous countries or dangerous
times, but they tend to be pretty conservative.

Gay & Lesbian Travellers
While Cambodian culture is tolerant of homosexuality, the gay and lesbian scene here is certainly nothing
like that in Thailand. The former King Norodom Sihanouk was a keen supporter of equal rights for same-
sex partners and this seems to have encouraged a more open attitude among younger Cambodians. Both Ph-
nom Penh and Siem Reap have a few gay-friendly bars, but it's a low-key scene compared with some parts
of Asia.
