Cambodia is already reasonably well established as a backpacker destination and city\'s such as Siem Reap are beginning to offer decent facilities for package tourists. The country is still fairly underdeveloped however and all visitors need to be aware of some basic concerns with regards to health and safety.

When to go: November to March is Cambodia\'s busiest season on account of the weather being the most conducive to travelling during that period. Temperatures can still hit the low 30s during the day but the nights are cooler and if you\'re staying in non-air-conditioned accommodation, you\'ll sleep a lot better in this season. Most backpackers tend to hit the Cambodia trail (Siem Reap down to Sihanoukville via Phnom Penh) while package tourists heading for the sights of Angkor arrive in Siem Reap. It\'s quite possible to visit Cambodia during the other seasons, however the climate is less friendly and you can expect extreme temperatures, heavy rainfall, or a combination of both.

Emergency: emergency services in Cambodia are limited and standards of medical care in hospitals falls below those considered the minimum for Europe or North America. Hospitals can be found in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville but ambulances are only available on request and not provided as a matter of course.

Business needs: Cambodia is open for international business, but as yet has not attracted a huge amount of large scale international investment. Opportunities exist however for those wishing to export Cambodian goods for sale in other countries with products such as silverware, fabrics and handmade goods among the more popular items available. Those wishing to do business officially will need a business visa which is available from Cambodian embassies in the applicant\'s home country or from embassies in neighbouring countries such as Thailand and Vietnam.
