Chol Chnam Thmey, or Cambodian New Year, will be celebrated from April 14th to 16th this year, marking the start of the Buddhist year 2568. Many people will be travelling during this time. Don\u2019t forget to protect your family while on the move. <\/em><\/p>\n

Let the celebrations commence<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Many Cambodians will be on the move this month, travelling back to their hometowns and villages to celebrate the new year, or Sangkran<\/a>, with loved ones. There will be public festivities, in some of Cambodia\u2019s most iconic venues including Angkor Wat<\/a> in Siem Riep, Wat Phnom<\/a> in Phnom Penh and Wat Krom in Preah Sihanouk.<\/p>\n

Expatriates may want to join in the festivities, or they may take the opportunity to travel further afield during the festive period.<\/p>\n

The risks of travelling for New Year<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While the celebrations will be trouble-free for the vast majority of people, travelling during Khmer New Year comes with increased risks.<\/p>\n

More cars on the road generally means an uptick in accidents and Cambodia is hardly a paragon of safety at the best of times when it comes to driving, with road traffic one of the leading causes of deaths and injuries<\/a> in the Kingdom.<\/p>\n

Beyond traffic risks, travelling, whether within Cambodia or abroad, can also make you more vulnerable to theft, loss of belongings, and exposure to health hazards, including food and water or mosquito-borne diseases.<\/p>\n

At this time of year, it\u2019s essential to have the right insurance in place to protect your family.<\/p>\n

Insurance when travelling<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re travelling within Cambodia, it\u2019s worth checking that your car<\/a> and health<\/a> insurance policies are up-to-date in case of any unforeseen problems.<\/p>\n

Expats travelling abroad at this time should ensure they have a comprehensive travel insurance<\/a> policy to minimise the financial, medical and logistical risks associated with travel.<\/p>\n

Travel insurance offers numerous benefits to protect your family including:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Medical coverage & emergency assistance<\/strong> if a family member falls ill or gets injured while travelling. Make sure your policy includes emergency medical evacuation cover to ensure you can access the treatment required even if it is unavailable locally. Most insurers have 24\/7 assistance hotlines to support you, whatever happens.<\/li>\n
  2. Protection against accidents & travel disruptions<\/strong> to cover road accidents and provide compensation for trip cancellations or delays, ensuring you don\u2019t lose money on non- refundable bookings.<\/li>\n
  3. Security against theft & loss<\/strong> of luggage, passports, or personal belongings. Some policies offer emergency cash assistance if your wallet or cards are stolen.<\/li>\n
  4. Liability coverage<\/strong> to protect you and your family in the case of accidental damage to property or injury to someone else, avoiding potentially hefty legal costs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to safeguard your loved ones against all accidents and incidents when you\u2019re travelling, but you can<\/strong> reduce the financial fallout if things do go wrong and ensure that you can access the help you need quickly.<\/p>\n
