My local GP practice has no appointments available in the near future for vaccinations, so I am going to have to go private. 
Seeing as jabs will likely cost me around £30 each, which vaccinations would you recommend for the itiniery above?
I am thinking Hep A, Typhoid, Diptheria, with Malarone for Cambodia. Possibly Hep B and Tetanus, too.
All of these are ok 2-4 weeks before departure according to the info I have, so I still have time.
But normally there is little risk in city and urban areas, especially with my kind of travel (never eat 'local' food, never stay out after dusk etc).

I hope you'll meet some fellow-travellers who help you relax into your destinations. Local food in Cambodia doesn't have to be pong tia koon.
BTW you might think of splitting your Cambodia time between SR and Phnom Penh. There's an easy bus ride between them.
