Cambodia的建議疫苗接種
對於大多數旅行者
乙肝疫苗

對於一些旅行者
霍亂疫苗
The U.K. NaTHNaC recommends the oral cholera vaccine for some travellers whose activities or medical history put them at increased risk, travelling to areas of active cholera transmission. These risk factors include: aid workers; those going to areas of cholera outbreaks who have limited access to potable water and medical care; travellers for whom the vaccination would be considered potentially beneficial, such as chronic medical conditions. The U.S. CDC recommends the cholera vaccine for travellers who are 18-64 years of age and who plan to travel to areas of active cholera transmission. CDC notes that most travellers do not travel to areas of active cholera transmission, and that safe food and water practices can prevent many cholera infections.
狂犬病疫苗
Vaccination against rabies is recommended for travellers involved in outdoor activities (e.g., campers, hikers, bikers, adventure travellers, and cavers) who may have direct contact with rabid dogs, bats, and other mammals. Those with occupational risks (such as veterinarians, wildlife professionals, researchers) and long-term travellers and expatriates are at higher risk and should be vaccinated.
日本腦炎疫苗
Vaccination against Japanese encephalitis is recommended for travellers to endemic areas during Japanese encephalitis virus transmission season if their itinerary or activities will increase their risk (e.g. spending substantial time outdoors in rural or agricultural areas; staying in accommodations without air conditioning, screens, or bed nets.)
麻疹,腮腺炎,風疹(MMR)疫苗
A dose of measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) should be administered to infants 6 to 11 months old prior to international travel.
卡介苗芽孢桿菌(BCG)疫苗
BCG vaccine is recommended to all unvaccinated adults, and children under 16 years of age, staying in the country for more than 3 months. A tuberculin skin test is required prior to administering vaccination for all children from 6 years of age.
黃熱病疫苗
There is no risk of yellow fever in this country. This country requires all persons 1 year of age and older to have proof of the yellow fever vaccination if travelling from a country with a risk of yellow fever transmission, including transiting more than 12 hours through an airport in a country with risk of yellow fever transmission.
傷寒疫苗
There is a risk of exposure to typhoid fever in this country through consumption of unsafe food and water. Since exposure to unsafe sources is variable within this country, the vaccination against typhoid fever is generally recommended, especially when visiting smaller cities and rural areas.

Japanese encephalitis
Japanese encephalitis occurs throughout all of Cambodia. The risk for travellers of contracting Japanese encephalitis is low, but extensive outdoor activity in rural areas will increase this risk.
Rabies
Rabies occurs in Cambodia. Travellers involved in outdoor activities (e.g., campers, hikers, bikers, adventure travellers, and cavers) may have direct contact with rabid dogs, bats, and other mammals. Those with occupational risks (such as veterinarians, wildlife professionals, researchers) and long-term travellers and expatriates are at higher risk.
Typhoid Fever
Unvaccinated people can become infected through contaminated food and water in Cambodia. The risk is higher when visiting smaller cities, villages, or rural areas where food and water sources may be contaminated.

Cambodia中的安全性
人身安全
Most travellers have no trouble in Cambodia. Violent crime is rare. Petty crime, however, does occur and there have been some reports of armed robbery against foreigners. Street crime and assaults targeting tourists occur most frequently in urban areas such as Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, and Sihanoukville (particularly in the Boeung Keng Kang area). Be particularly cautious around the waterfront, Tonle Bassac and BBK areas in Phnom Penh, and also the tourist areas of Sihanoukville. Street crime targeting foreigners, including pick-pocketing, is common in urban areas.
Always take precautions for your personal safety and be alert in your surroundings. Keep valuables secure and out of sight, and avoid showing signs of wealth. Safeguard your important documents, such as your passport. Exercise caution at night and avoid walking alone at night. Do not accept drinks or food from strangers and never leave your drinks out of your sight.
Thieves on motorcycles will sometimes grab bags and other valuables while passing pedestrians on the street. Banditry can occur, mostly at night, in rural areas and on routes between Kratie, Snoul, and Stung Treng in the northeastern provinces. Some foreigners have encountered difficulties with police and military personnel.
Cambodia is one of the most heavily mined countries in the world. Landmines are still found in rural areas of Cambodia, especially the border area with Thailand, Siem Reap (excluding the town of Siem Reap and the Angkor temples), Battambang, Kampong Thom, Banteay Meanchey, and Pursat provinces. Do not visit outlying temples, particularly in Phnom Kulen and the River of a Thousand Lingas. Never leave roads or walk in forested areas or in dry rice paddies without a local guide. Always follow warning signs and do not touch any unknown objects.
There are modesty laws at some religious sites. Visitors must cover their knees and shoulders. There is an official code of conduct for visitors to Angkor Wat. If you are not dressed appropriately, you may not be admitted to the sites.
Same-sex sexual relations are legal in Cambodia and the social acceptance of LGBTI people is growing.
Exercise caution when driving as road conditions may be extremely poor and may not be well marked or lit. Reckless driving and traffic congestion also contributes to a high risk of road accidents.
Exercise caution when travelling by boat or participating in adventure activities as safety standards may be poor and boats are often targets for gangs. Also, avoid train travel due to low rail safety.
The rainy season in Cambodia is between July and November. During this time, flooding, landslides, damage to infrastructure and disruption to travel plans may result.
極端暴力
While there is no recent history of terrorism in Cambodia, attacks cannot be ruled out. Such attacks could be indiscriminate and can occur in places frequented by expatriates and foreign travelers. A few number of grenade/bomb attacks along with shooting incidents have been reported in some parts of the country. Cambodian authorities have also stopped planned bomb attacks in the last decade.
政治動盪
Some political protests have turned violent in the past. To minimize safety risk, avoid all public gatherings or demonstrations. Political rallies and disputes often take place at short or no notice and have the potential to trigger violence. Local police and security forces have occasionally responded with force and may not distinguish between demonstrators and bystanders. Foreigners participating in such demonstrations and engaging in filming or photographing them may also be arrested and deported.
應避免的區域
Avoid travelling to the Preah Vihear temple area and border region as this is disputed territory between Cambodia and Thailand. Due to heightened criminal activity, non-essential travel should also be avoided to Sihanoukville as well as in the vicinity of the Special Economic Zone. Violent clashes have occurred in the area, resulting in many casualties. Land mines and unexploded ordnance are found in parts of Battambang, Banteay Meanchey, Pursat, Siem Reap, Pailin, and Kampong Thom provinces.
