Description
Cambodia is home to the Angkor Wat temple complex — one of the world's most spectacular archaeological sites — along with Phnom Penh's Royal Palace, the beaches of Sihanoukville, and the riverside town of Battambang. No vaccinations are legally required for direct entry from the UK, but several are strongly recommended. Dengue is widespread and malaria exists in remote border areas.

Moderate Risk Level
Malaria in Cambodia
Malaria risk in Cambodia is mainly in forested border areas with Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam. Siem Reap (Angkor Wat), Phnom Penh, and the main tourist areas are considered low-risk. Anti-malarial tablets are usually only recommended for travel to remote forested regions — our pharmacist will assess your itinerary.
Travel Health Tips for Cambodia
Practical tips to help you stay safe, healthy, and prepared throughout your trip.
Travel tip 1
- Rabies is common — stray dogs are everywhere and post-exposure treatment can be hard to access outside Phnom Penh.
Travel tip 2
- Dengue is a bigger risk than malaria for most travellers. Use DEET repellent during the day.
Travel tip 3
- Drink only bottled water. Avoid ice from street vendors.
Travel tip 4
- Angkor Wat requires significant walking in heat — carry water, sunscreen, and take breaks.
Travel tip 5
- Landmine risk exists in some rural areas — stick to marked paths and don't wander off established trails.
When to Get Vaccinated
Ideally 6–8 weeks before departure for Rabies and Japanese Encephalitis. Hepatitis A, Typhoid, and DTP can be given same-day for last-minute travellers.
Best Time to Visit
November to April (dry season, cooler temperatures). December to February is peak season for Angkor Wat. The wet season (May–October) brings intense but short afternoon rain, fewer crowds, and lush landscapes.
