I don't think the medical care overthere is good, try to avoid an accident then lol

Refer to tap water, I don't think it's a good idea to drink tap water though it's common in some countries. Just grab a bottle of water i think that is what you should do.

You can find fastfood in city center then but it's quite rare!

Medical care is absolutely NOT good in Cambodia. You don't want to be hospitalised there.

Should avoid drinking tap water if possible. Bottled water is perferred when available.

Western food is available in the major tourist centres but it's rarely outside these areas.

I've heard that most expats living in Cambodia have medical insurance in case of emergency and if you've been in a serious accident ,you will be taken to Thailand or Singapore.So i think you don't want to be end up in the hospital in Cambodia !

I just wanna know is it a safe place to travel alone in Cambodia ???

Phnom Penh is quite safe and yes, people do speak English there, though not everyone. The hotels there are good and very reasonably priced.

You can hire a tuk-tuk for your trip regular_smileregular_smileor if you don't mind rinding motorcycle you can do it for about $15 a day.

But I think you better hire tuk-tuk as rinding motorcycle in Phnom Penh is VERY dangerous!!shocked
