• Greetings: Offer a “sua sdei” (Cambodia/Laos) or “sawasdee” (Thailand) with a wai or sampeah; use both hands for transactions to show respect.

• Dress: Wear modest clothing covering shoulders and knees for temples like Angkor Wat or the Grand Palace; a lightweight scarf ($3 or 100 THB) aligns with regional norms culturetrip.com.

• Behaviour: Maintain a calm demeanor; avoid loud behavior in sacred spaces; ask permission before photographing monks or locals, especially during alms-giving or festivals. A guest shared: “Respecting customs made our luxury journey profound.”

• Customs: Donations ($0.30–$1 or 1,200–4,000 KHR/10–30 THB) appreciated at temples; tipping guides ($5–$20 or 20,000–800,000 KHR/150–600 THB) is customary for bespoke services. Avoid public criticism of monarchies.

• Tip: Say “arkun” (Cambodia/Laos) or “khob khun” (Thailand) to locals or guides; use eco-friendly practices like reusable water bottles ($4 or 16,000 KHR/120 THB) to support sustainable Cambodia Travel. Tony Bùi notes: “In 20 years guiding, I’ve seen respectful travelers thrive in luxury Southeast Asia.”

General Tips:
