Heat
In Cambodia, the heat is generally tolerable and has
nothing to do with Amazonian hygrometry. I recommend
in any case you to adapt your life and visit rhythm
to climate and to adopt the local customs. A nap is
highly recommended during peak tanning hours (10 am
to 2 pm)… We will organise ourselves in accordance.
Mosquitoes and Malaria
It is useless to take an anti-malarial medication if
you are not trekking off the beaten track, in the
mountains or in the jungle. In this case, you will
have to take pills like Nivaquine or Lariam starting
before departure In any case, consult your doctor
for advice.
But never forget that taking an anti-malarial
medication lowers the chances of getting sick, but
doesn’t protect you completely. So, remember to use
a good DEET-based bug spray when you go out,
especially at the sunset and at night.
Mosquitoes are most active during dusk and dawn and
in shaded areas. Wear long-sleeved shirts (tucked
in), long pants, and apply a permethrin containing
repellent to clothing.
