Re: best place to get dollars
Not sure about that. Once added the fees European changers add or European banks include in their rates, I found it better here.
I purchase Euros, Swiss Francs, etc. in PP. Minimal spread and no fees.
The PP changers at the central market calculate from a USD basis not riel basis.
I do not insist that this info is bulletproof but maybe someone in PP can check the rates and post them here. This will give you some idea.

I thought that dollars was the currency, used, the signs in bars seem to be in dollars ? do people use a mix of dollar and riel?
I will post on here a few days before i leave with the dollar and riel rates in London and decide then.

Re: best place to get dollars
right got it. I will bring dollars. So i am guessing that riels are used for small purchases such as fags, motodops, tin of beer from the local shop etc? What do the ATMs give you?

Re: best place to get dollars
I'm guessing you will get a lousy exchange rate if you change to USA $ before you leave, plus , do they charge a fee also. ? On the CNBC tv the exchange rate right now is 1 GBP will get you 1.2472 USA dollars, The local money changer that I use will probable give you ,, 1 GBP = 1.24 USA Dollars. How much can you legally take out of the country ?
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.
