"When moving to Kampong Chhnang, it's essential to pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items like shorts, t-shirts, and light dresses, preferably made of cotton or linen. Don't forget to pack a sturdy pair of walking shoes for exploring the city and rural areas, as well as sandals for more casual occasions. A raincoat or umbrella is a must-have during the rainy season, which typically runs from May to October. Also, pack a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of sunscreen to protect yourself from the intense sun. In respect of the local culture, it's important to pack modest clothing. This includes long skirts or pants and tops that cover your shoulders, especially when visiting religious sites. Pack all necessary toiletries, including toothpaste, toothbrush, deodorant, and shampoo. While these items are available locally, you might not find your preferred brands. Don't forget to bring any prescription medications you need, along with a copy of your prescription. It's also a good idea to pack a basic first aid kit with band-aids, antiseptic wipes, and over-the-counter pain relievers. Bring a good quality insect repellent and anti-malarial medication, as mosquitoes can be a problem in Cambodia. Pack a universal power adapter for your electronic devices, as the plug type in Cambodia might be different from your home country. Bring important documents such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or work permits. It's also a good idea to have photocopies of these documents. Lastly, pack some entertainment for your downtime, such as books, a laptop, or a portable music player," said another expat in Kampong Chhnang, Cambodia.
