Reconsider travel to Cambodia due to armed conflict along the Thai border and ongoing security risks including crime and landmines.
The security situation in Cambodia has deteriorated due to ongoing armed conflict between Cambodian and Thai military forces along the border, with reports of rocket and artillery fire and civilian casualties. Both UK and US authorities now advise against travel to border areas, with the US establishing a 50km exclusion zone. Additionally, travelers face risks from street crime in urban areas like Phnom Penh, and landmines remain a threat in several provinces including popular tourist destinations like Siem Reap.
