DRESS APPROPRIATELY<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]While shorts and a singlet are acceptable clothing at the beach they are not suitable in the city or countryside, despite the heat of the day, so try to dress modestly. Upper arms and legs should be covered, especially at religious sites such as Banteay Srei temple.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row centered=”yes” sd_margin_bottom=”60px” padding_top=”30px” padding_bottom=”20px”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][vc_single_image image=”2532″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″]

LEARN THE CORRECT GESTURES<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]Khmers greet one another with a sompiah, holding both hands together and bowing slightly. To show more respect, move your hands higher and bow lower. Keep your palm down when beckoning someone towards you.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row centered=”yes” sd_margin_bottom=”60px” padding_top=”30px” padding_bottom=”20px”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][vc_single_image image=”2531″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″]
<\/div>

LEARN SOME OF THE LANGUAGE<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]Try to learn a few words of Khmer during your stay. The locals may laugh at your pronunciation, but they will respect you for trying and it may get you a better price when you’re haggling for a bargain at the market. See the Khmer Language Glossary to get you started.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row centered=”yes” sd_margin_bottom=”60px” padding_top=”30px” padding_bottom=”20px”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][vc_single_image image=”1449″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″]

REMOVE YOUR SHOES<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]When entering a religious site or someone\u2019s house (and many places of business), take off your shoes and leave them outside.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row centered=”yes” sd_margin_bottom=”60px” padding_top=”30px” padding_bottom=”20px”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][vc_single_image image=”1450″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″]
<\/div>

USE BOTH HANDS<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]Use either your right hand or, better still, both hands if you\u2019re passing something to someone. If you use your right hand, as a sign of respect touch your right elbow with your left hand at the same time.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row centered=”yes” sd_margin_bottom=”60px” padding_top=”30px” padding_bottom=”20px”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][vc_single_image image=”1445″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″]

DON'T LOSE IT<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]Don\u2019t criticise others, even if they are in the wrong and especially not in public or they will \u2018lose face\u2019. Just smile through gritted teeth and offer a sompiah.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row centered=”yes” sd_margin_bottom=”60px” padding_top=”30px” padding_bottom=”20px”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][vc_single_image image=”1446″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″]

DON'T GIVE OUT SWEETS<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]Don\u2019t give out sweets or candy to children as this will damage their teeth and encourages begging (and dependency) from a young age.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row centered=”yes” sd_margin_bottom=”60px” padding_top=”30px” padding_bottom=”20px”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][vc_single_image image=”1443″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″]

EAT WITH THE FAMILY<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]Do eat with the family if invited. It is customary to share the food from communal bowls and spoon it on to your rice. Leave a very small amount of food to show you are full or the rice will keep on coming.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row centered=”yes” sd_margin_bottom=”60px” padding_top=”30px” padding_bottom=”20px”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][vc_single_image image=”1444″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″]

ELECTRICITY ETIQUETTE<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]Check with a host family what time electricity is provided as it may not be 24 hours in rural areas.
