U.S. State Department Rates Cambodia Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution
The U.S. Department of State issued a Level 2 travel advisory for Cambodia, recommending increased caution. Reasons include crime, unrest, and unexploded ordnance. Some areas carry increased risk. Areas along the Cambodian-Thai border are marked Do Not Travel due to unrest. Phnom Penh requires increased caution due to crime. Battambang, Banteay Meanchey, Pursat, Siem Reap, Pailin, Kampong Thom, and Preah Vihear provinces require increased caution due to unexploded ordnance.
- Impact and considerations
- The advisory affects business and leisure travelers to Cambodia, especially the Cambodian-Thai border area. Unexploded ordnance risk covers multiple provinces, requiring companies to assess operations and personnel safety in those areas.
