Cambodia is open to leisure tourism and the main tourist centers are still operating, but travel is not normal-risk right now. The biggest issue is the Cambodia–Thailand border conflict, which has triggered multiple government warnings and border-area restrictions, while most non-border destinations remain visitable with caution. Payment systems can also be inconvenient, with unreliable ATMs and some card acceptance limits.
