    Thank you all for your suggestions.

    I will be getting a 'pack list' from Oxfam - however, as I'm also a Debt Free Wannabe - I want to make sure I'm prepared, and can choose the best items I can afford, hence why I am looking now.

    Will definately check out all the suggestions you have all made. Thanks!

    Cambodia is so cheap. Try and get to the Russian Market (if you land in Phnomn Phen) Costs about 2000 Riel on the back of a motocycle from most parts of town. (Which is about 25 US cents).

    Or the 'old market' if you land in Siem Reap.

    Have a great time.

    Don't forget the diocalm as there are plenty of bugs that lead to the gift that keeps on giving!

    Rohan clothing is fantastic. It is expensive but packs very small and their brochure tells you the weight of each item and the drying time. Some of their clothing is also multi use, so trousers can be trousers, shorts or cut offs. It is excellent quality and will last for years.

    Buy your clothes out in Cambodia. Don't need much there, just some trousers for the evening and a few tee-shirts.

    Don't spend more on your clothing than your holiday.

    It is an amazing place - go soon before the tourist takes over (in some places they already have)
