Vietnam and Cambodia currencies.

Mrs yt and myself are embarking on a trip to these two countries shortly and I have a question about the local currencies. We are in each country for a week and would like to know about the practicality of using buying/using local currencies for incidentals like the odd meal/drink/museum/gifts etc.

We are told that the US dollar (USD) is widely accepted in both countries so it is tempting to take USD only and use our credit cards for anything else - like meals in a restaurants for example. Is it generally considered 'safe' to use UK credit cards? - I'm thinking of cloning etc? Indeed are currencies for both countries available for purchase in the UK (M&S/Sainsbury's for example)?

Any advice or experiences about this most welcome as we have never been to this part of the World before. yt.
