What should I pack when moving to Sihanoukville?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Sihanoukville to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Sihanoukville, it's important to pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include a mix of short-sleeved shirts, shorts, and lightweight pants. Don't forget to pack a good quality raincoat or umbrella, as Cambodia experiences a rainy season. Pack a pair of comfortable walking shoes, as well as sandals or flip-flops for the beach. Include a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of high-factor sunscreen to protect yourself from the strong sun. Bring along any prescription medications you need, as well as a basic first aid kit. It's also a good idea to pack insect repellent and any recommended vaccinations for the region. If you plan on cooking, consider packing some of your favorite spices or condiments, as they may be hard to find locally. Pack a universal power adapter for your electronics, as the plug type in Cambodia may be different from your home country. Don't forget to bring important documents such as your passport, visa paperwork, and any necessary insurance documents. Lastly, consider packing some entertainment items like books, a laptop, or a portable music player to help pass the time during downtime," said another expat in Sihanoukville, Cambodia.
