Just make sure you've got a chilly bin (ice box, esky, cooler) full of ice and plenty of limes, if you get short of ice you can stop at most road side restaurants, drink sellers, etc. for a top up. Nothing to worry about.

Just don't go out at night time. Game over man, game over.

There is no 100% safe advice IMHO at the moment unless you really isolate yourself a few months in a remote place with no contact to ANYBODY which is hard to achieve. I have been tinking a lot why Cambodia and other SEA "underperform" when it comes to Corona. Sure the truth about the actual local situation is not beeing told. On the other hand it seems as if the infected people show only the light version of it and are capable of going on with their daily habits. In Italy the by far greatest part dying is the older generation (70++) with preexisting other SEVERE health problems (for the moment). There is not so many 70++ in Cambodia and other SEA nations as in Italy which is the country with the oldest median age in Europe at 45+ years. A quarter of the population is over 65 years. Cambodia is full of youngsters with an median age of 24-25 years. Even as a member of G7 (group of the 7 most advanced economies in the world) Italy has run out of technical equipment (respiratory machines) and intensive care beds. Dead people cannot be put to rest and the mortuaries are full of bodies that can go nowhere with many more coming every day. Should the cases explode in Cambodia the biggest problem will be that the country will run out of needed technical equipment and infrastructure in no time and you will be stuck in a place with no real help unless you are holder of an expensive SOS insurance (or equivalent) that will get you out. Going home will be a big risk in itself but you will probably have better options in case you get the severe symptoms of Corona..but there is no guarantee to get properly treated as you see what happens in Italy at the moment. People with low chances of beeing healed are NOT treated anymore due to lack of technical equipment and full intensive care units which is a kind of scandal for a nation with such a high grade of industralization. China has setup new hospitals within 2-3 weeks a thing completely impossible in Italy and sure also valid for Cambodia. Italy has also called for help by other EU members (masks, respiratory machines) but has gotten NO HELP AT ALL from fellow member states (some have stopped delivering existing orders or even banned any export of such equipment). So Cambodia will sure also get none in case the CORONA will have the same impact as here. I think that your daily behaviour (respecting the rules for minimizing infection) are by far more important than where you actually decide to stay. We all stay home here in Italy even reducing contact with fellow family members that stay in the same house. Thats how serious we take the situation. Better safe than sorry. Good luck.
