Cambodia is generally safe but of course, common sense is needed. Cambodian people give a warm, open and friendly welcome to tourists and they appreciate that tourism is a big part of boosting their economy. However, there is petty crime such as pickpocketing and theft, so we recommend keeping your belongings close to you particularly in busy streets and areas, and especially in larger cities.
