Electricity and sockets
Probably not needed. At least one system in Cambodia (Types A, B, C, F and G) accepts plugs from the UK; check the socket on arrival.

Type G in detail →Mains supply in Cambodia: 230 V, 50 Hz, sockets of Types A, B, C, F and G. No surprises on voltage: Cambodia runs at 230 V, the same range as at home in the UK.
Travelling further to India means a different adapter. Across Asia this setup is fairly rare: 1 of 50 countries.
Protective earth
Cambodia has sockets with a protective earth (Types B, F and G) and without (Types A and C). A plug that fits mechanically does not guarantee earthing.

If a socket gets hot, crackles or smells burnt, unplug the device straight away.
