whoppe78 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I;m thinking of going to Cambodia but worried now because I read there are no ATMs and credit cards are not accepted plus no traveler checks.The only way to get extra money is credit card advances which is very expensive.So what do you do bring a bunch of cash with you and hope you don't run out.

Lancelot Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 There are ATMs in Cambodia, at least two in the Phnom Phen airport and more scattered around the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dumball Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Yes , Cambodia has come a long way in a short time , Lots of Atms in the cities , cash advance at many banks and Western-unions on your credit card , some charge 1% for the service , banks change travellers cheques and there are lots of money changers for some currencies at good rates .

britmaveric Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Definitely atms, credit cards are accepted at hotels... not sure on the traveler cheques, but assume a bank would change them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0zz1 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 first time in Phon Pheng in 1999 and couldnt find a single atm and had some major problems due that, but last time 2 years ago they where everywhere... and you get USD out from them which I found rather funny =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
