Outfit
Angkor represents a spiritual center for believers. It is important to adapt to the dress codes required by religion. Decent attire is required to enter the site.
For both men and women, shoulders must be covered. Skirts, dresses and pants must cover the knees. “Apsara Authority”, which supervises the Angkor archaeological complex, has signaled the need to respect the places and above all to wear correct clothing.

But some did not understand the message and took stricter measures. In fact, you may be refused entry if you do not respect the dress code.
