Scams to watch for in Cambodia
- Tourist price markupsVisitors may be quoted higher prices. Bottled water sold for 1,000 riel or less may be marked up to US$0.50–1. Central Market in Phnom Penh is described as touristy and pricey. Higher prices alone do not prove fraud.
- Unclear taxi and tuk-tuk faresA fare can become a dispute if you have not agreed whether it covers one way or return, everyone or each passenger. Travellers arranging a Phnom Penh–Kampot taxi directly at Phnom Penh airport are also likely to receive a higher quote.
- Border bribes and extra processing feesBorder officials may seek bribes. On journeys from Banlung to Four Thousand Islands, officials on both sides may demand passport-stamping processing fees. An inflated arrival fee may also be demanded on the Lao side.
