About Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Phnom Penh is the capital of Cambodia. It is a safe and modern riverside city of broad boulevards, fantastic local and international cuisine restaurants. The local Cambodian people are among the friendliest and most hospitable people in the world.

To ensure that you are close to the training venue you should seek a hotel or apartment in the districts of Riverside, BKK1, BKK2, or BKK3. Any of these areas will ensure that you are within a $3 taxi or grab fare from the training venue.
Money safety and visas
The primary currencies are the Cambodian Riel and the US dollar, and international credit and debit cards are widely accepted. Despite some recent negative media publicity about Cambodia in recent news articles, it is mostly nonsense. Phnom Penh is a completely safe and peaceful city, not requiring any more caution than any other international city. Visas are easily available for all international arrival nationalities, either pre organised on line or at arrival at the new Techo international airport.
Getting to Phnom Penh
Many international airlines fly to Phnom Penh from the northern and southern hemispheres, either directly or with one stop. Skyscanner is a good place to compare fares. On arrival at the new Techo international airport a taxi to your hotel is about USD $20 and takes about 30 minutes into the city.
There is much to see and do
If you want the take an opportunity for an extended holiday, close by are the temples of Angkor Wat at Siem Reap, or the riverside town of Kampot. There are numerous sights to please any visitor, such as the Royal Palace and the National Museum of Cambodia, and of course the so called Killing Fields and the notorious S21 torture prison are both in and very close to the city.
Until about 2015 Phnom Penh, Cambodia was rather shabby and run-down due to the long years of war and four years of Khmer Rouge abandonment. The future now looks bright, with many new upscale shopping centres, luxury residence complexes and hotels opening all the time.
Most of the important attractions for the tourist are located besides, or within walking distance of, the riverside in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Here you’ll find a surplus of great restaurants, bars, shops, affordable guesthouses and tuk-tuk drivers ready to take you to all the sights.
