Safety

Phnom Penh is under level 1 (exercise caution)

Korea's foreign ministry page for Cambodia (checked 2026-10-30) puts Phnom Penh and most of the country at level 1. Sihanoukville province outside the city is level 2; the Thai border strip (50 km), Sihanoukville city, Bokor, Bavet and Poipet are level 3 (leave). In Phnom Penh it warns of confinement crimes that start with 'high-paying job' offers, and of snatch theft around the Royal Palace and Russian Market.

  • Phnom Penh: level 1
  • Beware fake high-paying job offers
  • Snatch theft at tourist spots
