Immerse yourself in Cambodia's rich culture and warm hospitality.
When visiting Cambodia, certain aspects of the culture are important to know, which can enhance your experience. Here are some important things to keep in mind before visiting Cambodia:
Respect their local culture and religion. Cambodia is a Buddhist country. Respect their religious faith and follow their local customs, such as removing shoes before entering temples and dressing modestly when visiting temples.
Learn a few key phrases and words in the local language. Though English is spoken in tourist areas, learning a few phrases and words in the Khmer language can make it easy for you to converse with local people. You can also download an app that can help you converse in the local language.
Value their customs. In Cambodian culture, locals normally greet each other with their hands together touching their chest. When you meet locals, follow their way of customary greeting.
Keep yourself hydrated all the time. The humidity can suck all the energy from you. Keep yourself hydrated with water or juices, and carry sunscreen to avoid sunburn.
