Travel Tips for Cultural Tours in Cambodia
- Be respectful in the way you act and dress during a cultural tour of Cambodia, as the vast majority of the places you visit will be either religious or historic sites.
- Learn some basic Khmer phrases for basic communication. Many people in Cambodia, especially outside the tourist hotspots, do not speak English.
- Take off your shoes before entering someone’s home or places of worship. Like many Asian countries, it is customary to take your shoes off at the door.
- Set aside multiple days to explore the Angkor Wat temple complex. The site is huge, and it is impossible to tour in a day.
- Bring a refillable water bottle, but use only filtered water.
