My husband is Cambodian and we took our son there for three weeks when he was 5 months old. We didn't use any mosquito repellant but took a mosquito net, made sure we were inside in the early afternoon (when dengue and malaria mosquitoes are out) and used a hand fan to keep bugs away.

Definitely take a sling or carrier since strollers are a bit of a hassle.

We took lots of clothes but most of the time just dressed our son in a nappy. He was really, REALLY hot there. Take a folding change mat so you can change baby wherever. Nobody minds, that's what Cambodians do.

If you're breastfeeding, Cambodia is the easiest and most supportive country ever in my opinion. You can breastfeed anywhere. Even in markets I asked sellers if I could sit down and feed the baby in their stall, they'd get me a chair, a glass of water and fan the baby and me.

If you have any more questions, feel free to PM me.
