What should I pay attention to when traveling to Cambodia?

Vietnam and Cambodia are adjacent and have a tropical monsoon climate. There are no obvious four seasons throughout the year, which are generally divided into rainy season and dry season. May ~ 10 is rainy season,11~ April is dry season, and the annual average temperature is about 24℃. The temperature difference in northern Vietnam is very large throughout the year. In the coldest month of 65438+ 10, the temperature can be reduced to 15 degrees Celsius, and sometimes it can be reduced to 5 degrees Celsius. You can take your coat and sweater with you.

Second, the time difference is one hour slower than Beijing time.

Third, catering.

It tastes hot and sour, and there are many raw and cold foods. Please pay attention to food hygiene. In addition, tea and ice water are free during meals, but drinks and drinks are charged separately.

Fourth, money.

Cambodia's local currency is "Swiss franc", only paper money without coins, and the US dollar is also very common. The exchange rate is about 1 USD = 3900 Swiss francs (subject to the exchange rate of the day).

You can change it with a local tour guide or at a local bank, but don't change money on the street in case you get counterfeit money.

Five, etiquette

Never take food or other things with your left hand here, and don't touch other people's heads at will. Cambodians think that the left hand is unclean, and it is very disrespectful to hold things with the left hand. The head is a very sacred part in their culture, and no one is allowed to touch it, even local children.

Six, animals

Cows and buffaloes can't be harmed here. Cambodians believe that if someone hurts them without authorization, they will be punished, just like getting sick for no reason.

Seven. religion

Buddhist monks and Buddhist sites. Buddhism is very popular in Cambodia, and Buddhist temples have become popular tourist attractions. When visiting Buddhist temples, you must dress neatly, take off your shoes and hats, and female tourists are not allowed to take photos with the monks there. This is a very disrespectful behavior. If you want to visit a site like Angkor Wat, you must pay attention to the clothes you wear, your pants must be knee-high, you can't smoke, and you can't engrave on murals.
