Cereal - Tends to be an expensive item. Fresh Milk - Not cheaply available. Most of the time we use powdered milk and there is the 'long life' milk. If you like tofu milk or anything like that you might like to bring a good supply. There is soy milk available. Vegi-meat - Not available so that may be something else you would like to put into your suitcase. Vanilla - Hugely overpriced at approximately $7 for a small bottle. Cheese - Something that is usually considered a 'special food' because of its price. Fruit juice - Another expensive item. Many people like to bring powdered drink mix, it helps make the water taste more bearable when you first arrive. Dried fruit - Easy to find in any variety. Nuts - Tend to be expensive, excluding peanuts they can be found in the markets.

Boxed foods like macaroni and cheese are not available much so if you want some light- weight packing and easy meals they can be nice to bring.

Bring your favorite spices, as they might not be available here. They have some curries and common spices (oregano, cinnamon etc.) but sometimes you have to look at several stores to find what you want.

Dress pants - They should be tough but lightweight. Most clothes get a real beating here with hand washing sometimes a bit hard on them and mud and stains. Jeans - They are great to have in the rainy season or just have on hand. We find them a bit warm for every day use but some people wear them all the time. Thin ones are nice to have. Shorts - It is good to have a supply of shorts to wear when you are on your off-work time. Modest length shorts are good. Tank tops - It is a real plus to have these here during the hot season. Ones that you can comfortably wear a strapped bra with is what we normally wear although we do wear the thinner strapped tank tops when we go out to foreign places or at home. So you don't have to leave those all at home if you like them. Shirts - Lightweight comfortable shirts, T-shirts are nice and comfortable button-up shirts if you like them are good to have. Dresses/Skirts - Skirts and dresses below the knee are recommended by almost all of us unless you want a lot more stares then normal which is unbelievable anyway and believe me after awhile it gets REAL old. Shoes - Tradition in Cambodia dictates that you remove your shoes everywhere even the office so it is a plus to have a pair of easily removed sandals. All of us have some sort of tennis shoes or something to wear because sometimes you want them. If you have size 8 or below feet it is easy to buy cheap rubber thongs here for about $1. Underwear - Cambodia is hard on underwear, worse then outer clothing. The women who do the washing seem to think that they must be scrubbed long and hard with a stiff brush so at times holes can be worn in them. Bras are hard to find if you happen to be above a B cup and the bra's here are stiffly padded and not real cool (temp, that is). Just expect to buy new underclothes when you return if you stay for any length of time and bring a good supply with you.

Availability of Clothes to Buy - Your size will determine how easily you can buy clothes. Most foreign women are not able to wear the average Khmer woman's clothes. There are used clothing sections in the markets where you can get bigger clothes. Also it is very cheap to have clothes made although at times it can be a gamble as to whether you will get what you want. At the Russian Market (Pasar Toul Tom Pong) in Phnom Penh there are a lot of new Levi jeans of all sizes and quite a few other clothes (GAP, Old Navy, Columbia).

Dress Pants - It is good to have something to wear to church or nicer events. If you work in the office you will want to have a supply of comfortable nicer pants on hand. And in general it is hot so lightweight pants like chinos are good for everything. Shirts - T-shirts are good to have as well as some nice lightweight button up shirts for nicer occasions. Jeans - Good to have although I find them to be really hot especially in the dry season. Many of the guys here wouldn't think of wearing much else so definitely bring them. It depends on your own preference. Shoes - In Cambodia it is a cultural taboo to wear your shoes inside an office or home so it is best if you bring a pair of shoes that are easy to take off and put back on again. Unless you have small feet it is difficult to get shoes here for guys. At least one pair of good tie up shoes are nice to have just in case. Some guys don't like sandals so you have to decide what is best for you. Teva or that style is nice to have. Shorts - Bring some shorts along if you wear them. It is hot here at times…and again…it IS hot here at times. Underwear - It is difficult to find nice, comfortable underwear so bring along a good stash of underwear unless you want to get small fuzzy terry cloth (like a towel) underwear to tide you over.

Availability of Clothes to Buy It is not difficult to find clothes for guys over the average Khmer size of 5ft 3-8 in. Also nice shorts and things can be bought here fairly inexpensively although you might have to look a little bit for the right size.
