Even tho everyone are happy and friendly there are many problems in the country.
Most people seem totally unaware of the hard political climate in this country. Just last night Kem Ley, a famous political analyst and critic of the government aswell as the oposition party who wanted a new era of clean politics was shot dead . Altho the arrested person claims it was over and unpaid debth.
I dont want to take a political standpoint as i live here. Dont be naive. Do your research.

Dresscode when visiting Angkor wat from 4/8/2016
From 4th of august 2016 you will not be able to buy a visitpass to Angkor wat while not wearing clothes that covers your knees and shoulder.
I understand that they get tierd of tourists not giving a shit and visiting their sacred sites while dresses like....Well, when dressed like a Cambodian whore actually.
People have been brought to court before for disrespectful behavior at Angkor wat.
It is a very traditional country in many aspects.

Give money to begging/selling childen?
Should i give money to those kids selling bracelets? How cute, trying to help their family.
Think again.
Your money end up going to their mom who in most cases are observing her children from the corner or other side of the street. She is keeping her children away from a education to likely become a homeless person with all what that include later on when she cannot get a job nor pay her family for staying at the home.
Does the mother exploiting and stealing the young years from their children deserve your money? If you think so. Go ahead. But look into the childrens dead eyes and think about it one more time.
As long as they come home with money the parents will think its worth to keep them out on the streets with strangers day as night. Maby not all with good intentions.
There are many people who actually do need your money in Cambodia.
I only give money to people who had an accident. Some can be missing 3½ of their arms and legs. They cannot get a job. They are left on their own. Noone will help them. THEY need your money. Just imagine the situation they are left in.
Two arms, two legs, no money.

Dress well in Cambodia, especially religious sites.
Many foreigners seem to loose all manners when they come to Cambodia.
This is not a country where you dress in short shorts with your but cheeks hanging down.
Actually people, especially girls look very much how the man dress. You will notice when you start to dress like khmer men that they will not hesitate to let you know that they think you look very handsome compared to the day before when you had you bathing pants on all night long.
Also take note that Angkor Wat is a religious site and many people in Cambodia think that girls who have bare shoulders and short-shorts even should be put in jail. Its very disrespectful.
Instead of the "im on holiday so i dont give a f--ck" attitude. Try absorb the local culture, values and way of living. This will make you earn the locals respect.
