Utilities Apps in Cambodia

Save emergency information before travelling because a data connection and English-speaking operator cannot be assumed. Cambodia's official short codes are 117 for police, 118 for fire and 119 for ambulance. Ambulance coverage and emergency capability are limited outside Phnom Penh, so also save the nearest suitable private clinic or hospital, your accommodation, insurer and embassy or consulate. The Cambodian Tourist Police publishes current contacts and regional units online. If a phone is stolen, a passport is lost or a crime occurs, ask the accommodation or another trusted Khmer speaker to help contact police and obtain a written report for insurance. Police reports should not require an unofficial fee. Do not sign or fingerprint a document you cannot read without interpretation. Medical facilities outside the main cities are limited, and providers may require payment before treatment. Carry insurance that includes evacuation and keep proof accessible offline. For immediate danger, call first rather than relying on a website. Protect phones and bags from motorcycle snatching, especially while walking near the road or sitting in an open tuk-tuk. At night, prefer an in-app car to a motorbike or open vehicle. Stay on marked roads and paths in rural or former conflict areas because mines and unexploded ordnance remain present. Check current government travel advice for the Cambodia-Thailand border, severe weather and local disruption immediately before each affected journey.
