Look after your property
Siem Reap is a pretty safe city, even at night. However, if you rent a bike, don’t keep your bag in the basket, as it will be easy pickings for a drive-by snatch.
Thieves sitting on motorbikes driving at a high speed are ready to snatch your bags, mobile phones, cameras, and jewelry of pedestrians and other motorbike drivers. Tourists should not dangle bags on traffic roads. Notice that talking on mobile phone on roads or putting bags on the front basket of a motorbike will tempt a snatcher. It could happen day or night, in a crowded road with hundreds of drivers.

Walk in group when it's late
Lone females should try to walk home with travelling companions when leaving late-night spots, particularly if heading to poorly lit areas.
