"Like any major city, Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, does experience crime. The most common types of crime are petty theft, bag snatching, and pickpocketing, particularly in crowded areas and tourist hotspots. Violent crime is less common but does occur, often related to disputes or altercations between locals. There have also been reports of more serious crimes such as sexual assault and armed robbery, although these are relatively rare. The city has been working to improve its safety and security measures, but it is still advisable for residents and visitors to take precautions to protect themselves and their belongings," remarked another expat in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
