4️⃣ Follow the dress code for Angkor Wat
To this day, Angkor Wat is one of the world’s largest religious sites and as such, there is a strict temple dress code in place. Unfortunately, you will be denied entry to Angkor Wat (including the grounds) if you don’t follow the dress code.
The dress code requires everyone to cover their shoulders, which means no tank tops or spaghetti straps. Unlike other temples in South East Asia, it is not permitted to cover your shoulders with a scarf so you will need to be wearing a full t-shirt at a minimum.
While men can wear shorts, they will be unable to climb to the top terraces of the main temple in Angkor Wat, so it would be wise to wear trousers. For women, knees must be covered so trousers or long skirts/dresses are needed.
If you don’t have suitable clothes to get into Angkor Wat, don’t worry! There are lots of shops in Siem Reap where you can pick up an outfit for a couple of dollars.
