In the previous article, we introduced how to take more beautiful photos at Angkor Wat. In this article, we further introduce the essential information for visiting Angkor Wat: What are the taboos when visiting Angkor Wat? What are the precautions that cannot be ignored?
First, there is the issue of dress
. Angkor Youting has been emphasizing it in many articles and questions and answers. Respecting local customs, religious regulations and tourist requirements is a reflection of our own quality as tourists, and it is also a prerequisite for ensuring that we have fun ourselves. ,
The official dress code of the Angkor Wat temple for tourists is: tops must have sleeves (short sleeves are acceptable), and bottoms must be above the knees (skirts are okay). There are no requirements for shoes.
We will remind guests of the local dress code who come to the store to charter a car. However, we have had several cases where guests were fined because their clothing did not meet the regulations and they repeatedly ignored the reminders of the scenic area staff. This not only affected the image of the tourists, but also affected their own mood during the trip.
Therefore, when we prepare the clothes to go to Angkor Wat, we must comply with the local dress code, and at the same time, they must be beautiful (after all, we need beautiful photos), comfortable and convenient (climbing up and down the stone building is quite hard), and sun-proof (Wu The temperature of Ge Cave and the intensity of ultraviolet rays in the scenic spot should not be underestimated.) It is also worth spending time and preparation.
As for the shoes, they should be light and comfortable. Just prepare them according to your own preferences. Most locals wear flip-flops.
Secondly, drones are not allowed in the Angkor Wat scenic area.
This is also the case for chartered customers in the store. Because he didn't know that the scenic spot was prohibited, he used a drone to take pictures and was discovered by the staff, who demanded a fine of US$500. Later, the chartered car driver helped to mediate the communication, and finally he was fined RMB 400. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone here not to use drones to take pictures.
Third, be wary of the monkeys in Angkor Wat
Tourists will see many cute monkeys in Little Angkor. They are basically not afraid of people. They will stare at the food in the hands and bags of tourists and wait for tourists to feed them. Some will even jump up to grab it. Tourists may be frightened or scratched. We have had cases where a customer was scratched by a monkey and went to the hospital for fear of infection. The conditions of local hospitals are much worse than those in China.
So, for safety reasons, everyone should not get so close to these cute monkeys.
Fourth, you need to queue up to watch the sunset at Bakken Mountain
There is a limit of 300 people at the top of Bakken Mountain. Tourists who want to watch the sunset may have to queue up around 4 pm or around 3 pm during the peak season. The staff will issue number plates to tourists in sequence. If there are already 300 people, they can only wait for someone to come down the mountain. Get the number. Therefore, friends who want to watch the sunset at Bakken Mountain should plan their time well. Generally, the chartered bus driver will also remind you when you need to arrive at Bakken Mountain and start queuing based on the tourist situation on the day.
Alternatively, if you feel that waiting in line for the sunset is a waste of time, you can choose to watch the sunset at Hiraji Temple or the Royal Bath, which are also good choices.
In addition, I recommend you not to miss watching the sunset on the boat on Tonle Sap Lake . It will be a great experience and a great memory.
