Your answer: Argentina → Cambodia
Plug adapter
Probably not needed
Cambodia uses Type A, B, C, F, G, but sockets there are typically universal and accept your Type I. You should be fine without an adapter, but packing a universal adapter is cheap insurance.
Voltage converter
Not needed
Both countries run on 230V at 50Hz. Your devices work as-is.

Note on Cambodia: All sockets in Cambodia are universal ones which accept either types A, C or types A, B, C, D, E, F, G, I, O.
What this means for your trip
Argentina to Cambodia is one of those pairs where the official answer and the real answer diverge. Cambodia's national plug type is different, but in practice the sockets there are typically universal — so your Argentina plug usually fits.
Cambodia's official plug is Type A/B/C/F/G; Argentina uses Type I. Walls in Cambodia commonly take multiple plug types (that's what "universal sockets" means), and yours is usually on the accepted list. If you want to be safe, a pocket universal adapter costs a few dollars and weighs nothing — easier than discovering at a hotel that yours doesn't fit.
Voltage is the same on both ends (230V vs 230V, 50Hz vs 50Hz), so every charger that works at home works in Cambodia without modification. No voltage converter, no hunting for "100-240V" on the brick.
One more thing about Cambodia: All sockets in Cambodia are universal ones which accept either types A, C or types A, B, C, D, E, F, G, I, O.
Frequently asked
Do I need a travel adapter for Cambodia from Argentina?
Probably not. Cambodia uses Type A/B/C/F/G officially, but sockets there are typically universal and accept Argentina's Type I plugs. Packing a small universal adapter as a backup is cheap insurance.
What type of plug does Cambodia use?
Cambodia uses Type A and Type B and Type C and Type F and Type G outlets at 230V, 50Hz. Two flat parallel pins. Common in North America, Central America, and Japan.
What's the voltage in Cambodia?
Cambodia runs on 230V at 50Hz. That's on the high-voltage standard, matching than Argentina's 230V supply. Most modern phones, laptops, tablets, and camera chargers are dual-voltage (check for "100-240V" on the brick) and work on either. Single-voltage devices like hair dryers, curling irons, and travel kettles will not — bring a dual-voltage travel version or a voltage converter.
Are Argentina chargers dual-voltage?
Most — but not all. Check the charger brick for a line that reads something like "INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60Hz." If you see that, the charger works on either voltage standard and you only need a plug adapter. If it lists just "120V" (or just "230V"), it's single-voltage and can't be plugged straight into the other side without a voltage converter.
