In Siem Reap the most popular transportation that most traveler like is the tuk tuk, it is safe, easy, cost effective and traveler can learn of Cambodia real live from the driver.

1. Appropriate clothing Short shorts and sleeveless shirts are forbidden in holy places. This applies of course to the entire archaeological park of Angkor. Incidentally, and whilst I am on this subject, I mentioned this a while ago in an article and it is now one of the most read blog posts. Many travelers are well informed in advance how best to dress for Angkor Park :-) Since August 2016, visitors are unable to buy an Angkor pass, if they are not appropriately dressed at the time of purchase. This can be quite annoying as you will need to come back when dressed correctly. 2. Touch the Monuments It is in the nature of man to want to touch everything we see. And actually nature has it covered very well. This way in which we can “grasp” things literally. Only there is a significant problem. If in places like Angkor Park there are many hands touching the old stones, they will become greasy and no longer look beautiful. Even though you may want to you should simply look with your eyes and not touch so that they remain intact. 3. Talking loudly Talking loudly is frowned upon in Cambodia and even more so in Angkor Park. You should refrain from loud shouting, screaming and shrill laughter. 4. Prohibited areas There are many signs to indicate which areas should not be entered. There is a good reason for this. Most of these safety signs, serve to indicate which areas one cannot assess as a visitor, or which rocks visitors should not climb on. It makes little sense to expose yourself to such hazards. 5. Smoking is prohibited Since 2012 a total smoking ban throughout Angkor Park has been in place, including outside the temple. 6. Children selling souvenirs It can be difficult but basically you should not buy anything from children. Often they are kept away from school in order to sell items. Although this may not be true in all families, but there is not usually time to check if this child also attends school. If you want to do something good, then find out about the best local charitable organizations. 7. Photographing Monks Monks in their orange robes are always a popular sight. Ask them first, do not simply just take a photo. It is very important that women should not touch the monks. Touching of monks clothing is also considered taboo.

Cambodia accept both KH or USD, however you have to making sure that you have a small not for most of the local market, if you bring 100$ not the small shop won't accept. In the ATM if you want 100USD then please press 95USD then it will come with the small not.

Most traveler thought the direct negotiation can saving money! The answer is yes if you travelling one place but if you have a number of place to visit you better buy a tour package. For visiting the temple you don't need to pay for every temple, you just buy Small Circle or Big Circle tour, you will pay 20$ per tour and visit 4-6 temple

The reason most people come to Siem Reap is to visit the Angkor Archaeological Park. The town is worth strolling about for itself and there are a number of means to go about enjoying the city. Along the streets, there are many shops offering services and goods ranging from the basic necessities to fine silk; chic galleries with beautiful display of local art pieces and lots of souvenirs. For food, there are whole streets catering for the traveler tastes, with tasty Khmer fares such as Amok and ‘Khmer curry’, and other international cuisines.

Khmer is the official language of Cambodia. While tourists may wish to learn a few spoken phrases before or when visiting Cambodia, English is widely spoken and understood. French and Mandarin are also spoken frequently in the country; most elderly Cambodians speak French and many people in the Khmer-Chinese population speak Mandarin. However, it is a different story and you will undoubtedly have an easier and more enjoyable experience if you spend some time reading a bit up on the Cambodian language - Khmer.

Cambodian food is perhaps the most overlooked of all Asian cuisines. The most important part of every meal is rice. At lunch and dinner in Cambodian homes each person is served a large bowl of rice. Then at least three or four other dishes, usually including a soup, are served family-style. For those who aren’t convinced that they will like Cambodian food, there are hundreds of restaurants serving all types of international food in Cambodia. American, British, French, Italian, Korean, Chinese and Japanese expats have all set up restaurants serving their country’s specialties, and that’s not al
