Hi Paula!

Sorry for the delay, I just got to South Africa a few days ago and my internet capabilities are less than stellar! Yes, I felt completely safe as a woman in most of Cambodia and especially Siem Reap. It is a total tourist town and built around creating a fun and safe environment for tourists. I met people to hang out with every day that I was there and had a fantastic time. I also really liked going to Angkor Wat by myself because I was able to see the temples at my own pace. As for the rest of Cambodia, I lived in Phnom Penh for three months and never had any problems. The worst thing that happened to anyone I knew was that their bag was stolen from a passing moto. If you’re smart and don’t go walking around by yourself at 4am you’ll be totally safe. So basically, it’s like any other city… Feel free to email me with any more questions but yes, you’re safe traveling alone in Cambodia and most of the rest of Southeast Asia!

Hi Paula, Kat’s in transit up to South Africa at the moment. I’m sure she’ll check in soon and get back to you. The best South East Asia forums are probably http://travelfish.org, so try there if it’s urgent.

Kat-

Did you feel safe as a solo female traveler in Cambodia/at Angkor? I really want to go but none of my friends are in a place to make the journey with me.

I *love* Siem Reap. SUCH a fantastic place – great food, crazy fun drinking establishments, and lovely lovely markets. It is truly an undiscovered gem – sure, everyone knows about Angkor, but exploring Siem Reap there is tons to see/do.
