Excellent family destination, with temples that seem straight out of an adventure movie and a very welcoming culture for children.

Exploring the temples is a great adventure for children.Many hotels have swimming pools, ideal for the heat.Cambodians are extremely kind to children.
The heat can be exhausting for the little ones.Some temples have steep stairs and are not stroller accessible.

Tips for Family

Alternative Dawn

Sunrise at Angkor Wat is iconic but crowded. For a quieter experience, consider watching the sunrise at Srah Srang or the sunset at Pre Rup.

Explore Beyond the Short Circuit

Hire a driver for the 'Grand Circuit' or to more distant temples like Banteay Srei or Beng Mealea to escape the crowds and see more unique ruins.

Temple Dress Code

Covering shoulders and knees is mandatory to enter Angkor Wat and other sacred sites. Carry a scarf or sarong with you.

Don't Touch the Monks

Especially if you are a woman, avoid physical contact with Buddhist monks. A palms together greeting (sampeah) is the appropriate gesture of respect.

Drink Bottled Water

Don't drink tap water. Bottled water is cheap and available everywhere. Use mosquito repellent, especially at dawn and dusk.

Protect yourself from the sun and dust

The sun is very strong. Wear sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses. During the dry season, the roads can be very dusty; consider wearing a mask or bandana.

Negotiate with the Tuk-Tuk

Always agree on the price before starting a tuk-tuk trip. To avoid negotiations, use apps like Grab or PassApp, which offer fixed rates.

Baby Milk Scam

A woman with a baby may ask you to buy her milk powder at an inflated price from a specific store. It is a known scam; offer food instead or politely decline.
