FCO warns female travellers of sexual assaults in Siem Reap

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office has updated its travel advice for Cambodia warning women to take care in the tourist resort of Siem Reap.

It says this year there have been several cases of lone women being sexually assaulted by men claiming to be motorbike taxi drivers in the Pub street area of the resort, which is a gateway to the ruins of Angkor.

"You should be vigilant at all times, especially when walking alone," says the advice.
