Matters needing attention in Cambodia tourism

Cambodia is a very typical Southeast Asian country. Its economic development is relatively backward, but it has a very long history and cultural heritage. It is also a Buddhist country and a good place to travel. Here, I would like to share with you the detailed precautions.

For example, explore the secrets of the ancient Khmer Empire in Angkor Wat, experience a unique bamboo train trip in Battambang, learn about a dark Khmer Rouge history in Phnom Penh, enjoy the purity and nature of the original beach in Westport, eat a Cambodian hot pot and watch Angkor smile.

However, while thinking about eating, drinking and having fun, we should also know some precautions for traveling to Cambodia.

Travel essentials

1. Certificate: passport (valid for more than half a year, blank page), visa (landing visa or electronic signature).

2.

Calling cards: You can buy calling cards in the business hall of the departure hall of the airport and the business halls, hotels and convenience stores in the city. Send a message and call China when you buy it, and the clerk will recommend you a suitable card. If your mobile phone is enabled for international roaming, you can use it locally in Cambodia.

3. Currency: The local currency Riel does not need to be changed much, and Cambodians mainly use US dollars. In addition, this is a country with a tipping culture. Remember to change some change.

Clothing: Cambodia has a tropical monsoon climate with hot weather. Just bring cool and breathable clothes, and pay attention to shading. In order to prevent catching a cold sooner or later, you can prepare a thin coat. In addition, May to 10 is the rainy season in Cambodia. Remember to bring rain gear.

5. Skin care products: Cambodia has strong sunshine and strong ultraviolet rays. Remember to bring sunscreen spray or sunscreen.

6. Daily necessities: Except for four-star hotels in Cambodia, most hotels have no toiletries. It is recommended to bring a set of toiletries for backup.

7. Medicines: In order to prevent acclimatization or unexpected situations, bring some cold medicines, gastrointestinal medicines, carsickness medicines, etc.

Local custom

1. Cambodians think that it is impolite to hold things with your left hand because it is unclean. They also think that the head is a sacred part of the human body, so they can't touch the head at will.

2. Cambodians pay great attention to etiquette, so they should put their hands together when meeting.

Cambodians believe that cows and buffaloes are sacred animals, and once they are hurt, they will be punished.

4. Due to local customs, some temples such as Angkor Wat Daxiong Hall and Bafosi Temple need to wear long trousers, and those wearing short sleeves, shorts and skirts are not allowed to enter.

Tips for preventing slaughter and fraud

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 banknotes. There are many thieves in crowded scenic spots and wild ones are rampant, so we should pay attention to prevention.

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 person hugs you and tells you where to take photos, he will definitely ask you for money before you leave.

4. Going out basically depends on the Tuk Tuk car. Regarding the fare, you'd better check it before you leave. Don't tell the driver so much, you can also bargain.

5. Try not to book a tour guide in the hotel. The price of Chinese tour guides is almost twice that of English tour guides, and hotels have to charge extra service fees to find reliable channels.
