    1. Arrival & Border Safety (Cambodia + Laos)

    Stay hydrated, stay happyStay hydrated, stay happy (Source: Internet)

    Cambodia entry points: Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Bavet/Moc Bai, Koh Kong/Cham Yeam
    Laos entry points: Vientiane, Luang Prabang, Huay Xai/Chiang Khong, Pakse/Chong Mek

    Pro tips from Tony Bùi:

    • Always use official immigration counters – ignore anyone in plain clothes offering “faster service”

    • Keep your passport + e-visa print-out in a waterproof sleeve

    • Pre-book private transfer through Cambodia Tours – our drivers wait with name boards inside the arrival hall

    • Never hand your passport to motorbike taxi drivers

    2. Transport Safety – Move Like a Local, Stay Like a Pro

    Cambodia

    • Only use PassApp, Grab, or our private Cambodia Travel vans (seatbelts + GPS tracking)

    • Tuk-tuks: agree price BEFORE getting in, max 200,000 riel ($5) for 30-minute ride in Phnom Penh

    • Never ride motorbike taxis after dark

    Laos

    • Vientiane – Luang Prabang: choose VIP sleeper buses or private Laos Travel minivans (never local “chicken buses” at night)

    • Luang Prabang tuk-tuks: 20,000 kip per person max for city centre rides

    • All our Laos Tours include air-conditioned 2024+ vehicles with English-speaking drivers

    3. Scam-Proof Your Trip – Tony’s Top 8 Red Flags

    Pub Street fun, hotel safe returnPub Street fun, hotel safe return (Source: Internet)
    1. “Temple closed today” scam → temples never close for individuals

    2. “Gem scam” in Siem Reap → never buy gems from street touts

    3. Fake police asking for passport → real police never do this

    4. “Free” boat rides on Tonle Sap → you’ll pay $50+ to get back

    5. ATM card cloning → use indoor bank ATMs only

    6. Over-friendly strangers inviting you to card games

    7. “Special festival today” leading to empty temples

    8. Motorbike rental without proper insurance

    Legend Travel Group solution: Every guest receives a personal “Scam-Proof Card” on Day 1.

    4. Health & Food Safety – Eat Like a King, Stay Like a Champion

    • Drink only bottled water (our Cambodia Tours provide unlimited chilled water daily)

    • Ice is safe in reputable restaurants – look for round ice with holes

    • Street food rule: if it’s boiling hot and busy, it’s safe

    • Mosquito repellent 30% DEET every evening 5-7 PM

    • All our Laos Travel groups carry medical kits + rehydration salts

    5. Night Safety – Party Smart, Sleep Safe

    Intimate, safe, unforgettableIntimate, safe, unforgettable (Source: Internet)

    Phnom Penh: Stick to Street 51, Bassac Lane, or riverside – all patrolled
    Siem Reap: Pub Street safe until 2 AM – take our complimentary tuk-tuk shuttle back to hotel
    Luang Prabang: Night market area safe until 11 PM – avoid riverbank paths after dark
    Vang Vieng: Never swim drunk in the river – 3 deaths every year

    Our promise: Free hotel pick-up/drop-off every night on all Cambodia Tours and Laos Tours.
