7 Nights 8 Days Bangkok & Cambodia

There’s a magic about Cambodia that casts a spell on many who visit this charming yet confounding kingdom. Ascend to the realm of the gods at the mother of all temples, Angkor Wat, a spectacular fusion of symbolism, symmetry and spirituality. Descend into the hell of Tuol Sleng and come face to face with the Khmer Rouge and its killing machine. Welcome to the conundrum that is Cambodia: a country with a history both inspiring and depressing, an intoxicating place where the future is waiting to be shaped.

Situated on the Indochinese peninsula, Cambodia is bordered by Thailand and Laos on the north and Vietnam on the east and south. The Gulf of Thailand is off the western coast. The size of Missouri, the country consists chiefly of a large alluvial plain ringed by mountains with the Mekong River to the east. The plain is centered around Lake Tonle Sap, which is a natural storage basin of the Mekong.

Religion
Though abolished during the Pol Pot regime the official religion is Theravada Buddhism, which is also practiced in Laos, Thailand, Burma, and Sri Lanka. Theravada Buddhism was introduced to Cambodia in the 12th Century by King Jayavarman VII, where it replaced Hinduism. Much of this is in evidence at Angkor Wat where Buddhist statues sit atop Hindu Plinths

Climate
The climate can generally be described as tropical. As the country is affected by monsoon, it is hot and humid with an overage temperature around 27.C (80.F). There are two distinct seasons: the Rainy Season and the Dry Season. However, the Dry Season is divided into two sub-seasons, cool and hot.

Buddhist Monks in Cambodia

Practically anywhere that you go in Cambodia, you are sure to see Buddhist monks dressed in colored robes. The monks are highly respected within society - take an opportunity to have a friendly interaction with these interesting people!

• Women should never touch a monk or hand anything to them; even the monk's mother may not do so.
• If a monk is seated, you should sit also before starting a conversation.
• Monks are not allowed to eat after noon - be mindful by not eating or snacking around them.

Temple Etiquette in Cambodia

Whether visiting sprawling temples or one of the smaller pagodas in Siem Reap, always show respect by following these guidelines:

• Remove shoes and hats before entering the worship area - no one is exempt.
• Turn off mobile phones and MP3 players.
• Avoid loud or disrespectful conversation inside of temples.
• Dress modestly by wearing long pants and covering your shoulders.
• Avoid sitting higher than seated monks.
• Do not touch a Buddha statue and ask for permission before taking photos. If you do take photos, drop a small donation in the box.
