Know before you go

Dress code:
- Cambodia geographically lies in the tropical monsoon zone; its weather varies and brings wet and dry seasons each year. It is generally hot during the daytime and a bit cooler at night and in the early morning.
- 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 of Angkor Wat, the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh, and when you go to meet Buddhist monks.
The hustle and bustle of Phnom Penh can be overwhelming at the best of times. Take a break and head north to the rural Silk Island on this quiet full-day private tour.
Discover the rhythms of Cambodian life away from the city.
