Read more about Activity Levels

• Breakfast daily
• 3 Lunches
• 4 Dinners (a combination of meals at hotels and restaurants)

In general the average temperature during the day will likely be in the mid to upper 90s with lows in the mid 70s.

For This Trip You Will Need—

• Lightweight and breathable clothing to beat the heat and humidity; humidity levels often range from 50-70%.
• Modest clothing that covers your shoulders and legs for visiting temples

• Hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen
• Insect repellent, hand sanitizer, and disinfecting wipes
• Swimsuit - all hotels have a pool.
• Sturdy and comfortable sandals - you will need to remove your shoes before entering most temples.
• Lightweight jacket/sweater as indoor spaces and flights can be cool from air conditioning
• Smart-casual wear if you'd like to dress up a bit for dinners.
• Bring what you need to get a good night's sleep, such as ear plugs, white noise generator, sleeping pills, etc. Unfamiliar noises of all types can disrupt your rest.

Good Packing Habits—

• Pack a limited amount of comfortable, casual clothing that layer and coordinate. Your fellow travelers will not mind or even notice – seeing you in the same clothing.
• Bring only two pairs of everyday shoes: one pair of well-broken-in walking shoes, and a second pair that could do double-duty as a walking shoe or a slightly dressy shoe.
• Pare down your beauty regimen to the bare minimum and always pack travel-sized toiletries.
• Pack medication in your carry-on and pack only as much as needed for the duration of your tour plus a few extra days as a precaution.

On every WTT tour, our policies regarding luggage restrictions are driven by the physical space limitations of the vehicles we use, the requirement that all travelers be able to manage their own belongings without assistance and the restrictions imposed by other forms of transportation such as smaller planes.

• It is best to travel as lightly as possible.  Most travelers regret when they have packed too much.
• We strongly recommend you bring only one suitcase no larger than 26 inches high as measured from the FLOOR to the top of the retracted handle, plus 1 carry-on. The medium-size in a 3-piece luggage set easily meets this requirement and should be plenty roomy for this length of trip.
• There are luggage weight restrictions on the flights, in-trip. You can bring 1 checked bag with a maximum weight of 44 pounds. You are allowed one small personal item and 1 carry-on bag with a maximum weight of 11 pounds. You are responsible for any extra fees incurred for overages.
  
• You are responsible for managing your own belongings. We expect you to take your belongings from the coach to your room and to bring it back to the coach on days we change hotels. We do not provide luggage pulls; they are not safe and are inconvenient. Steps exist at most hotel entrances. On occasion the coach must unload passengers and luggage some distance from the hotel entrance.
• Keep in mind that you will be traversing airports as part of this itinerary and will need to handle your own luggage through customs. You will need to pay any and all charges you may incur by the airlines from overweight luggage.

The standards for health and hygiene in Thailand and Cambodia are generally good; however, you should avoid ice and tap water, and should only drink bottled water. Consider brushing your teeth with bottled water as well. When eating fruits and vegetables, wash them in clean water or peel them yourself.

While there are no specific vaccine requirements for Thailand and Cambodia, you should be up-to-date on routine vaccinations while traveling to any destination. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides additional guidance at www.cdc.gov. Please discuss any vaccine or health concerns with your healthcare provider.

An Open Letter from Dr. James Robb regarding the Corona Virus

"Dear Colleagues, as some of you may recall, when I was a professor of pathology at the University of California San Diego, I was one of the first molecular virologists in the world to work on coronaviruses.

Here is what I have done and the precautions that I take and will take. These are the same precautions I currently use during our influenza seasons, except for the mask and gloves:

1) No handshaking. Use a fist bump, slight bow, elbow bump, etc.
2) Use onlyyour knuckle to touch light switches. elevator buttons, etc. Lift the gasoline dispenser with a paper towel or use a disposable glove.
3) Open doors with your closed fist or hip - do not grasp the handle with your hand, unless there is no other way to open the door. Especially important on bathroom and post office/commercial doors.
4) Use disinfectant wipes at the stores when they are available, including wiping the handle and child seat in grocery carts.
5) Wash your hands with soap for 10-20 seconds and/or use a greater than 60% alcohol-based hand sanitizer whenever you return home from ANY activity that involves locations where other people have been.
6) Keep a bottle of sanitizer available at each of your home's entrances. AND in your car for use after getting gas or touching other contaminated objects when you can't immediately wash your hands.
7) If possible, cough or sneeze into a disposable tissue and discard. Use your elbow only if you have to. The clothing on your elbow will contain infectious virus that can be passed on for up to a week or more!"

An Open Letter from Dr. James Robb regarding the Corona Virus, continued.

"Items to consider purchasing:

1) Latex or nitrile latex disposable gloves for use when going shopping and all other outside activity when you [might] come in contact with contaminated areas.
Note: This virus is spread in large droplets by coughing and sneezing. This means that the air will not infect you! But all the surfaces where these droplets land are infectious. The only way for the virus to infect you is through your nose or mouth via your hands or an infected cough or sneeze onto or into your nose or mouth.

2) Disposable surgical masks [or other barriers] to prevent you from touching your nose and/or mouth (We touch our nose/mouth 90X/day without knowing it!). This is the only way this virus can infect you - it is lung-specific. The mask [or other barriers] will not prevent the virus in a direct sneeze from getting into your nose or mouth - it is only to keep you from touching your nose or mouth.

3) Hand sanitizers must be alcohol-based and greater than 60% alcohol to be effective.

4) Zinc lozenges. These lozenges have been proven to be effective in blocking coronavirus (and most other viruses) from multiplying in your throat and nasopharynx. Use as directed several times each day when you begin to feel ANY "cold-like" symptoms beginning. It is best to lie down and let the lozenge dissolve in the back of your throat and nasopharynx. Cold-Eeze lozenges is one brand available, but there are other brands available.

I hope these personal thoughts will be helpful.

James Robb, MD FCAP"

Only you can determine your need to stay in contact while traveling. WiFi access is available in most hotels, sometimes for a fee.

• If you are bringing a cell phone, contact your cell phone service provider before departing about adding international calling and/or texting features.  Texting internationally is often less expensive than placing a cell phone call.
• Learn how to make an international call BEFORE you leave. Consult your cell provider and check out the web site www.HowtoCallAbroad.com.

You may need to purchase an adapter. A universal adaptor supports a wide variety of sockets/plugs. You should also check your electronic devices for voltage compatibility. Many countries, including Thailand and Cambodia, operate on 220V or 230V, which differs from most of North America. Most of today's electronics (laptops, phone chargers etc.) are multi-voltage and will work worldwide automatically, without a transformer. Consult your owner's manual for further details.

Only you can determine the optimum amount of cash to take on tour. When budgeting for out-of-pocket expenses, there are several aspects to consider:  the number of meals you are responsible for, the amount of money you like to have on-hand for snacks and drinks, and your individual shopping interests and habits.

• Notify your credit card issuer that you will be traveling. Many banks charge a currency exchange fee (anywhere from 3%-10%) on most transactions. Check with your bank. There are credit cards that impose no foreign transaction fees.
• Thailand's official currency is the Thai Baht (THB).
• Cambodia's official currency is the Cambodian Riel (KHR), but tourist areas widely accept US Dollars. Bring crisp notes without tears and in smaller denominations. US coins are not accepted, and small change is given in Riel.
• Debit cards can be useful for cash advances. ATMs are typically the best way of obtaining cash as they are found in most airports and tourist areas. However, there are no guarantees your credit or debit cards will actually work overseas. Some foreign countries limit the amount that can be withdrawn daily. You must know your PIN number for your debit card to use ATMs. Always use caution when withdrawing money.
• In Thailand, many hotels, large-scale restaurants and shops will accept credit cards. If you plan on making purchases at markets or eating on the street, be sure to have cash on hand.
• Cambodia is a cash-based society. Hotels and large restaurants are likely to accept most credit cards, but otherwise, expect to pay in cash.
• Do not rely on credit or debit cards as your only source of money.

All tips to local guides during your tour have already been paid on your behalf.  

• Tipping in Thailand and Cambodia is generally not expected but is welcomed and appreciated should you receive good service.
• In Thailand, tipping expectations tend to be more common in sit-down restaurants and larger hotels. In restaurants, tips of about 10% are generally given for good service, unless a service charge has already been added to the bill.
• When taking a taxi or tuk-tuk, agree on a price in advance or confirm it is a metered fare. For taxis, it's common to round up to the nearest bill and leave the change as a tip.
• You are responsible for tipping wait-staff, porters, or other individuals who provide a service to you at the hotel, or other public locations.
• You may want to tip your WTT Tour Leader for an outstanding job. The amount is entirely a personal preference. If you'd like a guideline, consider $8-$10 per day. 

• Travelers are required to have a valid passport.
• Most countries require your passport to be valid a minimum of six months after your return home date, and have at least two consecutive blank pages.
• US citizens do not require a visa for Thailand.
• US Citizens entering Cambodia need a Cambodian visa. Cambodia offers online visa processing.
• WTT will provide visa instructions shortly after Final Payment is collected and all traveler information has been collected.
• Travelers from Canada and other countries should check their entry requirements with their consulate. Visa requirements are based on your country of residence.
