"Insect Repellent - Your Best Friend!!" Phumi Siem Reab Packing List Tip by LoveBeLL

Miscellaneous: You should definitely bring insect repellent. We had the brands - 3M and Off!, both with deet. Spray them on before you start on your daily tours and if it's not too heavy, do bring it along as after perspiring, you will need to respray.

On our last day in Siem Reap before we left the hotel for the airport, we thought we'll be safe since it's only probably 30mins for breakfast before we got into our taxi for the airport. But just 5mins into breakfast, I already had a mosquito bite and the others felt mosquitoes buzzing around them. I had to dig out the repellent from my luaggage and we all sprayed it on and you can really tell the difference. No more buzzing around us!

Oh, do find an open space to spray as the fumes can really choke you in a confined area.

We did it right in front of the hotel lobby.... ehehehehe....
