Due to local customs, some temples, such as the Great Hall of Heroes and the Eight Treasures Hall of Little Angkor, need to wear long clothes and trousers to visit. People wearing short sleeves, shorts and skirts are not allowed to enter.

[Anti-slaughter and fraud tips]

1. Don't take too much cash with you, and don't wear expensive gold and silver jewelry. In the eyes of some Cambodians, China people are like walking money. There are many thieves in crowded scenic spots, and the wild ones are also rampant. Take preventive measures.

2. There are many Cambodian children begging for snacks at the entrance of the scenic spot. If you don't want to entangle, you can prepare some small things like candy and pencils for them.

If a local offers to help you and tell you the best place to take pictures, he will definitely ask you for money before you leave.

4. Going out basically depends on a tuk-tuk car. Regarding the fare, you'd better check it before you leave. Give the driver as much as he wants and bargain.
