It is quite safe if you are holding your bag and watching yourself in dark. If you choose to drink be sure to take a car home not tuk tuk and don't walk when you are too drunk. Avoid unlit roads at night.

Phnom Penh is very safe for all female Travellers. You can socialize with other solo travellers from all around the world. Not have scam or petty crime.But you also need to be aware of your surroundings

I have been living in Phnom Penh for a year now and I have never felt as safe as this city. The people are so nice and always want to help you, the weather is good, the food is delicious and the culture so interesting
Posted: July 10, 2024I felt quite safe in Phnom Phen, however I would say, keep track of your belongings. I know several people who got their phone stolen there. Either by a person passing by (on a motorbike) or even a tuk tuk driver. Besides that everything was fine. There is however not much to do and if you don't have too much time I would suggest skipping this town in favour of other places.
