Know before you go

You should wear whatever is most comfortable, but remember to dress appropriately to respect the locals and religious sites such as pagodas, temples, and holy places. Clothes must cover your shoulders and knees when you wish to visit the top part at Angkor Wat, the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh, and when you go to meet Buddhist monks.
