As a country with lax weed laws, Cambodia offers a unique and laid-back travel experience for cannabis enthusiasts. From bar hopping in Phnom Penh to exploring ancient temples in Siem Reap, visitors can enjoy smoking without the fear of prosecution. However, it's important to exercise caution as drug trafficking is still illegal and penalties can be severe.

Just like in Laos, weed is both accepted and available — even if its not quite legal. Keep your eye out at restaurants especially, where any dish marked “happy” is most likely sporting some THC infused ingredients.
