August 24, 2018 — Ever found yourself lost in an unfamiliar city while traveling? Ever experienced a misunderstanding due to a foreign language barrier? These travel hassles become a thing of the past with the help of these 5 mobile applications designed for your Cambodia journey.

Maps.me

Maps.me is the essential mobile app for navigating wherever you are, even without internet. Beyond being a fully offline map, Maps.me lets you search for restaurants, bars, interesting tourist attractions, shops, banks, pharmacies, and more.

The app's greatest advantage is its offline functionality—no risk of exhausting your mobile data and facing an astronomical bill. That said, be sure to download the Cambodia map to the app before using it.

Currency Converter

Cambodia has the distinctive feature of using two different currencies: the riel and the US dollar. This can complicate conversion calculations to euros. With the XE app, available for free, you can perform all your conversions in under a second. You will, however, need to update the app regularly to get accurate exchange rates.

Google Translate

If your English is limited to "Where is Bryan?", downloading the Google Translate app can prove invaluable for translating from French to English or directly into Khmer. The tool is simple to use—just speak and Google Translate handles the written translation in your desired language.

Pass app

Essential for your stays in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, Pass'App is the application that lets you book a tuk-tuk, rickshaw, or any other vehicle for your city trips. It gives you access to the best rates for a ride without having to negotiate with the driver, as the price is set in advance.

Hidden Place

Hidden Place—literally "hidden places"—is an app that helps you discover lesser-known tourist spots around you. Thanks to the community on the platform, locations are rated according to various criteria such as price, number of tourists, and more.
