As the world already knows, Cambodia is now in a border conflict with Thailand, and the issue is being resolved through legal talks in Malaysia.

Is it safe to travel to Cambodia now?

Currently, it is the low season for tourism in Cambodia, but it is still a good time to travel. Some travel destinations show unique natural beauty during the rainy season. For example, in Siem Reap province, the temples are surrounded by lush green scenery that only appears during this season. Visiting Siem Reap and other provinces is considered safe.

The active conflict areas are limited to the Preah Vihear and Oddar Meanchey provinces only.

In summary, most of Cambodia, including popular tourist areas like Siem Reap, is safe to visit, but travelers should avoid the border provinces of Preah Vihear and Oddar Meanchey due to ongoing security concerns from the July 2025 clashes. The conflict led to a ceasefire agreement on July 28, 2025, mediated by Malaysia, though tensions remain fragile.
