What Should I Do In Case of An Emergency in Cambodia?
In an emergency, contact your hotel front desk immediately, as they can coordinate local assistance and communicate with medical providers. Your travel consultant will also provide 24-hour emergency contact information before your trip.
Cambodia's emergency services can be reached at 117 (police), 118 (fire), and 119 (ambulance), though English-speaking operators may not always be available. For medical emergencies in Phnom Penh, contact the Royal Phnom Penh Hospital. In Siem Reap, the Royal Angkor International Hospital is the recommended facility.
Before traveling, register with your country's embassy or consular service—the U.S. Embassy in Phnom Penh and consulates from other countries can assist citizens in emergencies. Keep digital and physical copies of your passport, insurance policy, and emergency contacts in separate locations.
Your travel insurance provider will have a 24-hour assistance line that can coordinate care, arrange medical evacuation if necessary, and communicate with your family at home.
