How to visit Cambodia in 2010

A short special notice for our friendly readers

Greeting in Cambodia

Welcome the Cambodian way is not by hand shaking. We take two arms to respect each other and then say " Jooum Reap Soou " meaning " Hello " or how do you do. This is our tradition. Man and woman can not " shake hands ". Some people have changed a little bit in towns or cities.

You should nod your head or take both arms to respect and then say " Hello = Jooum Reap Soou " . you can not touch, shake hand and hold the body of Buddhist monk or Cambodian woman or kiss in Cambodia. Another thing you can not touch the head of Cambodian because they believe when some one touches their head, they will get bad luck or bad omen.

How to use things in Cambodia

- You should prepare and bring the following :

- Hat , Umbrella, Sunburn cream and a small mosquito spray

- Sport shoe to walk on uneven surfaces of the temple sites.

- A small Flash light or Torch in case of electricity cut off or to make a light to see Sunrise during walking into the dark places.

Weather in Cambodia

- January 2010 onward is a little hot in Cambodia but this time is cool season but,now , environment is changing.

How to wear clothes

- You can wear short clothes in the Khmer Ancient temple sites but,if you visit Buddhist monastery or pagoda, it is not permitted. You must wear along one and take a shoe or hat off before climbing up. This is a rule, 90 percent of 15 million population are Buddhist religion.

Special notices : If you visit Angkor Wat temple, you must wear a long pants. If you wear a sexy or short clothes, Cambodian Authorities will not permit you to climb up to the third level of Angkor Wat temple. The third level of Angkor Wat temple was closed two years ago for restoration and safety of tourists. It had just re-opened on 15 January 2010.

Hello. Mr Sowanna,

We are back to our work today. Matt and I wanted to thank you so much for your guidance through Cambodia. This was our first holiday together and the effort that you went to and the guidance that you gave over the eight days will remain in our hearts and our memories for a very very long long time.

My most memorable time was at the school with the children. I will always remember them.

Both Matt and I are very busy over the next few weeks so please give us time to write on the blog sites. We want to set up some links to other travel sites as well to make sure that you get get very good recommendations.

I can write something for you straight away about information on how ladies should dress for the temples and the Palace.

When traveling to Cambodia it is important to respect the culture and traditions of the Cambodian people. Females, for most of the temples and sites will be able to wear shorts and tanks tops. However there are two places where you MUST dress modestly as a female. The upper level of Angkor Wat in Siem Reap and the Kings Palace in Phnom Phen. Please wear pants or skirts that pass the knees and shoulders must be covered. The Palace requires a female to cover her shoulders and legs. A shoulder wrap is NOT accepted in the Palace. I recommend that you wear a light linen pant and blouse. The weather is always hot so you must feel comfortable. Comfortable flat walking shoes are also recommended. All of the walking through Angkor Wat and most of Siem Reap is on dirt roads. Please keep this in mind when choosing footwear. I wish for you to be comfortable and happy when visiting Cambodia beautiful country.

I hope that this will help your tour guide site. Mr Sowanna and his family are in our thoughts

Matt and Karen, Australia
