MONEY
All businesses use the US$ or Riel. The USD is pegged at about KHR4000. We always bring from USD500-1000 to Cambodia in a mix of $50 and $100. (make sure the are crisp and no older than 2008) When you pay a bill in US$ you will get change in a mix of US$ and Riel. (there are no coins) Use your bank card all over Asia at ATMs. The ANZ Bank ATM will spit out either Riel or US$ your choice. Do not change money inside normal banks, they have very weird rates.

HOSPITALS
WATER
Don’t brush your teeth with tap water anywhere… keep your mouth closed in the shower… no crushed ice in drinks… you can normally trust ice with a hole as purified water.
Drink more water than you think you need.
