i brought a few favorite kitchen items...cutlery..good knives...it was like going away to College at 59...
take your time finding what you need...it is here.

If you’re a wet shave man:
Several sets of replacement blades for your razor. The local knockoffs are worth shit.
A facecloth. You won’t find them in budget hotels & guesthouses.
A hand mirror. Many times you’ll find there’s no hot water at the sink, only in the shower.

I always bring a jar of cocktail sauce. Can’t get it locally and there’s a lot of great prawn served tho with nasty dipping sauces imo.

A portable luggage scale if you plan to do some traveling. Always helps to know how much you’re carrying when booking airline tickets.

A tube of decent heavy duty sunblock.

A big supply of your favorite vitamins & a pack of Sudafed (non-drowsy).

Deodorant.

Swiss Army knife or leatherman with bottle opener.

Bloody consumables addicted modern day youth.
When i was boy i learned everything i need to know about living in Cambodia

I’m booking my flight for late December / early Jan, I have a few grand in the bank, health insurance and a “reasonable” understanding of the Visa process……

My question is, what are items you would consider HARD to get in Cambodia and worth packing??? I have a laptop to work from, clothes (so not to get charged with indecent exposure) and my passport. Any other requirements I have I’m expecting I can just get in country…

Did anything flag itself as hard to source once you landed in the “kingdom of wonder”?

Smile relax and enjoy. You can find almost anything these days. Supermarkets like Thai Hout have a large selection of foreign treats as well as the new large Angkor Market on Airport Road in Siem Reap> You will love your decision down the road. As with most travel, watch your wallet /phone.
Cheers!

You could probably pick up one of those in SHV though.
