What To
Bring
There are many items you simply cannot buy in Phnom Penh.
You should plan to bring these items along, or plan to do without.
You should realize that the items listed below may be more
expensive than you expect, or may be of low quality.
It may have labeling primarily in Thai or Khmer.
You may not recognize many of the brand
names from Asia. Or, you may need to travel to several stores to
find what you are looking for. Therefore,
if you are heading to Cambodia for a short visit you may wish to bring along
everything you need from home rather than spending time shopping for obscure
items in a strange country.
