What should I bring on the Cambodia motorbike trip?

These are the most common questions we received. On this page, we will try to cover as much as possible.

Spare Parts

Spare ignition keys, a puncture repair kit, and/or install tire sealant, a tool kit, some spare inner tubes, spark plugs, and brake shoes. We will provide these when you collect your bike(s), a typical set weighing 3-5 kg.

Credit Cards

Easy to find ATMs and hotels accept them. In Cambodia, cash is still the best!

Medication

You know what you need. Tablets and pills are available in Cambodia, most without prescription but bringing what you know best or are used to is a good idea.

Duck Tape & Super Glue

These are not easy to buy in Cambodia.

Glasses

Sunglasses and/or Reading glasses and/or spare glasses.

Touring Maps & Guides

Buy what you can from your home country, in Cambodia maps are not so detailed and clear.

Mobile Phone

Bring a basic phone or an unlocked smartphone. SIM is cheap in Cambodia and in addition pre-paid cards are easy and popular. Remember to bring your phone charger!

Tie Down Strap

Cambodia uses basic rubber elastic straps. If you have cargo nets or better straps with a hook, bring them with you.

Camera

With empty memory cards or extra cards, and batteries/chargers. Recently, smartphones are so good at taking photos that you may think about bringing one and leaving the camera at home.

Sun Block

Anything you can buy to protect from the UV.

Swimming Costume

Cambodia has many lakes and rivers, swimming is good when it’s hot.

Waterproofs

Sizes in Cambodia won’t fit you, take yours is a good idea. If not, buy local ponchos. Rain jackets and pants are too small in Cambodia!

Gloves

Lightweight and warm/waterproof gloves.

Earplugs

People wake up very early, around 5 am. Also, animals will make noise.

Clothing

Balaclava, T-shirt, socks & underwear, long-sleeved shirt, turtleneck shirt, extra jeans, light jacket, leather chaps, zip-lock bags, riding boots, bandannas, and goggles.

Personal Items

Like basic toiletries, emergency cash, and medical devices (if any).

Emergency Items

First aid kit, emergency contact number, list medical conditions, list medications, and a flashlight.

Miscellaneous

Small towel, bath towel, and trash bags.
