Visitor Code of Conduct at Angkor
Welcome to Angkor!
Capital of the Khmer Empire from the 9th to the 15th century, Angkor was the world’s largest urban center in the 12th century. Today, it remains a sacred site for Buddhists as well as for all those who come here to meditate, pray, or reflect.
It is also a living place, home to more than 130,000 people.
Since 1995, the APSARA National Authority has been responsible for conserving and developing the site. Its mission is to balance visitor satisfaction, public safety, and harmony with the local communities. To achieve this, an official Visitor Code of Conduct has been created in collaboration with residents, tour guides, and heritage conservation teams.
To help preserve Angkor and enhance your experience, please follow the rules below:
1. A Sacred Site
Angkor is a religious sanctuary. Loud, disruptive, or disrespectful behavior is considered offensive. Visitors are expected to act with calm and respect.
2. Dress Code
Within the temples, shorts, skirts above the knees, and tops that expose the shoulders are not permitted. Modest clothing is strongly recommended.
3. Respect for the Monuments
-
Do not touch carvings or bas-reliefs.
-
Avoid sitting or leaning on fragile structures.
-
Do not remove, move, or damage archaeological objects.
-
Do not write graffiti on the stones.
-
Inside temples, avoid high-heeled shoes, large backpacks, or umbrellas with sharp tips.
4. Restricted Areas
For your safety and to protect the site, please follow the signs carefully and avoid climbing on unstable stones or ruins.
5. No Smoking or Littering
Since 2012, Angkor has been a smoke-free site, in line with commitments to the World Health Organization. Smoking disturbs others and can cause fires. Please also refrain from leaving any litter.
6. Children and Begging
Do not give money or sweets to children and avoid buying from them. This encourages school absenteeism and begging. If you wish to help, please donate to a recognized charity.
7. Respect for Monks
Buddhist monks are highly respected. Always ask permission before taking their photo. Women should not touch monks or receive objects directly from their hands; items should instead be placed near the monk’s alms cloth.
