Taking fresh food- meat/fruit to Cambodia

Ask us anything. Cambodia Expats Online has a huge community of long-term expats that can answer any question you may have about life in Cambodia. Have some questions you want to ask before you move to Cambodia? Ask them here. Our community can also answer any questions you have about how to find a job or what kind of work is available for expats in Cambodia, whether you're looking for info about Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or anywhere else in the Kingdom. You're also welcome to ask about visa and work permit questions as well, as the immigration rules change often, especially since COVID-19. Don't be shy, ask CEO's community anything!

Taking fresh food- meat/fruit to Cambodia

Post by bittermelon »

As far as i can remember there's nothing on the form about not being allowed to take these items, and the form I have found online doesn't say anything, anybody know? I guess pest and diasease wise Cambodia probably already has everything that would survive there. (In NZ and Oz you can be fined 100's for accidentally bringing in an apple.)

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.

If your bag gets x-rayed and it is stuffed full of cash then yes, you will get pulled over on a tip off. Having some clothes and a load of monkey meat will not get you stopped.
