Is the Angkor area safe?
In 1998, when we started putting Angkor info online, there were many travel warnings to post, but now the third-world style banditry is nearly gone. It’s still a good idea to exercise caution, but fears of Khmer Rouge style lawlessness are probably a thing of the past. You’ll have to find another country for your danger fix… A few cautions: Don’t go out at night (especially in the capital)–you can be assured of being robbed. Don’t go to some remote spot and start walking across the fields (you could get blown up).
