Information and maps

Cambodia is beginning to recognize the importance of tourism to its economy, and is establishing a network of basic
tourist offices
. These offices, however, are desperately starved of resources and generally don't have much information. Better information can usually be found at popular
guesthouses
.
The easiest
map
to use is the 1:1,100,000 Periplus Travel Map of Cambodia. It's a handy size and also has plans of Phnom Penh and Angkor. International Travel Maps also publishes a useful 1:800,000 map. If you're travelling around the region, you could try the 1:2,000,000 regional map of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos published by UBD or Bartholomew. Bear in mind, however, that all these maps are based on dated surveys. Many of the older roads featured no longer exist, and new roads are not shown. Other useful information
