Tourist Information Offices
Cambodia has only a handful of tourist offices, and those encountered by the independent traveler in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap are generally unhelpful unless you look like you’re going to spend money.
However, in the provinces it is a different story, as the staffs are often shocked and excited to see visitors. They may have to drag the director out of a nearby karaoke bar, even at 10am, but once it is made clear that you are a genuine tourist, they will usually tell you everything there is to know about plates of interest.
More and more towns are ambitiously opening tourist offices, but they generally have little in the way of brochures or handouts. You’ll find some tourist offices listed in the relevant destination sections, but lower your expectations compared with regional powerhouses like Malaysia and Singapore. Generally guest-houses and free local magazines are much more useful than tourist offices.
Cambodia has no official tourist offices abroad and it is unlikely that Cambodian embassies will be of much assistance in planning a trip, besides issuing a visa.
