8 Tips for Exploring Angkor Wat
| December 23, 2015
Plan to cover your shoulders
Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples have both religious and cultural significance in Cambodia. As such, you need to dress appropriately for the serious atmosphere. Belly-baring tops, short shorts, and exposed cleavage should be avoided as they are disrespectful.
In addition, your shoulders MUST be covered at all times – both men and women.
Get around this requirement by bringing a wrap or lightweight buttoned top that can be taken off outside the temple. No need to sweat your butt off wearing a long sleeve shirt.
Even a breezy scarf, artfully arranged to cover the shoulders, could be a great way to stay cool and follow the rules at the same time.
