1. Weather. Angkor Wat has a tropical monsoon climate, with mild climate and little rainfall from 65438+February to the following February, which is the best season for tourism. Angkor wat is hot at noon, so it's best to stay in the hotel at this time to avoid sunburn. If you must go out, wear sunscreen and take an umbrella.

2. Safety. Many buildings in Angkor Wat are very high, and the stairs are steep, narrow and slippery. Pay attention to safety and don't try to be brave. A pair of shoes that suit you is also necessary. When riding a bicycle or an electric car, you should pay attention to traffic safety, especially when watching sunrise and sunset. There are no street lamps on the roads in the suburbs. You'd better bring a flashlight or headlights so that the car can see you.

3. language. In recent years, Chinese has gradually become popular in Cambodia, although it is not very common. But it would be great if you could speak fluent English.

4. Time difference. One hour later than Beijing time.

5. currency. Cambodia uses US dollars, but RMB does not circulate. Many locals also use dollars to trade goods. The exchange rate between US dollar and Cambodian currency riel is: 1 US dollar = 4,000 riel. However, goods are generally quoted in US dollars, and Riel can only be found below 1 US dollars, so there is no need to exchange local currency.

6. Tickets. There are three kinds of tickets for Angkor Wat: 20 dollars for one day, 40 dollars for three days and 60 dollars for seven days. Tickets for the next day began to be sold at 5 pm, and you can go in and visit after buying the tickets, but the staff began to clear the scene at 6: 30.

7. Shopping. Located in the city center, all daily necessities and tourist souvenirs can be bought here. There are many commodities here, including oil paintings, wood carvings, clay sculptures imitating Angkor architecture, cloth scarves, hand-embroidered silk shawls, silver ornaments, chopsticks, incense and so on. The price of the same thing is more expensive than Phnom Penh, so you can bargain as much as possible, about 50%.

8. delicious food. There are many stalls serving delicious food, from authentic Cambodian food to western steak and Indian curry flavor. But the sanitary conditions are not good. A few streets around the market are the food area and nightlife area in Siem Reap, with restaurants and bars of all styles and prices.

9. Custom taboos. When entering temples and other places, slippers, shorts, short skirts and sleeveless tops are not allowed. Shoes should be light and fit, suitable for walking, and it is not advisable to wear newly bought shoes and high heels.
