Tipping & Etiquette

Recommendation: 5 to 10 percent customary and deeply appreciated. Tipping is widely appreciated. 1-2 USD for waitstaff/porters and 5-10 USD per day for private temple guides is customary.

• DO Greet politely with the 'Sampeah' gesture (hands joined at chest level).
• DO Wear clothes covering shoulders and knees when visiting Angkor temples and pagodas.
• DO Show deep respect to Buddhist monks (women must never touch a monk).
• DON'T Never touch anyone on the head, as it is considered spiritually sacred.
• DON'T Never wander off marked paths in rural areas due to historical landmines.
• DON'T Do not point your feet at people or sacred Buddha statues.

Power Sockets & Tap Water

Plug Type & Electricity: Type A, C & G (230V, 50Hz). European 2-pin plugs fit in most hotels.

Tap Water: Tap water is not potable. Drink only sealed bottled water, even for brushing teeth.

Insider Tip: Strict dress code at Angkor temples: Shoulders and knees must be covered with actual clothing (scarves draped over shoulders are often rejected).
