Cambodia Travel Tips
In Cambodian culture, left hand is regarded as dirty, so do not use your left hand to touch Cambodians or hand things to them. Also, their head is regarded as the most holy part of their body, so avoid touching their heads, even children's. As Theravada Buddhism is the major belief in the country, remember to follow the manners required by the religion during your trip. For instance, wear clothes that can cover your arms and knees when visiting temples and pagodas. Remove your shoes when entering holy places, official places and local people's home to show respect.

History
Cambodia is a civilized ancient country established in the late first century. It went through several periods including Funan Kingdom (1st century - 550), Chenla Kingdom (6th century - 802) and Khmer Empire (802 - 1431). Khmer Empire, more widely known as Angkor Period, is the most prosperous era in Cambodian history. Paying a visit to Angkor Wat, you can have a glimpse on the prosperity of the ancient Angkor Period.
Geographical Features
The country is a basin facing Gulf of Thailand on the south and other sides are surrounded by hills and mountains. In the east, north and west are mainly forests rich in tropical wood resources like teakwood, ironwood and sandalwood. The central part is broad plains fed by Mekong River and Tonle Sap Lake, providing excellent conditions for rice production. That is why in Cambodians' daily diet, rice is the main staple food.
