Whenever you go on a trip, of course you want to take many photos, and a trip to Cambodia is a photographers paradise. As with other countries in Indochina, the sights and colors are fantastic. If you use a digital camera, be sure to bring plenty of storage cards with you. If you need more cards, most types of cards can be purchased at photo shops in the larger cities. You can put your photos on a CD at most internet shops and at some guesthouses and hotels. However, always check the CD to make sure it is readable, and that all your photos have been copied.
