As
Cambodia's climate is hot and humid almost all year round, it
is ideal to have light clothing to be worn throughout the
year. But during the small winter from December till
March, you are advised to wear thick clothing. It is also
advisable for ladies and gentlemen, when entering any Buddhist
pagoda, in tradition, ladies are inappropriately found to wear
shorts, trousers or any sexy attire. Men and women are
cultured for a dignitary image¾is
not to wear shorts and cap when you are in the complex of a
Buddhist pagoda. The flip-flops, boots or shoes must
specially be taken off before entering into any Buddhist
temple. At ancient temples, you are free to wear any as you
wish but not bras and under-pan.
