- Your child may be pinched. Cambodians show affection for children by pinching them.
- If you see a funeral procession, it is considered good fortune as the deceased may see you on their journey and put in a good word for you with the spirits.
- When in Cambodia, you might want to consider staying on the beaten path. Also if you see anything metallic on the ground do not pick it up. There are a lot of unexploded mines about.
- In rural areas, you may have to use the woods as a toilet, which kind of conflicts with the importance of staying on the beaten path mentioned above. Does a Greg shit in the woods? I don't think so.
- Public displays of affection are offensive, even among married people, though it is quite acceptable for people of the same sex to hold hands in public.
- There is no law against homosexuality in Cambodia, so in an odd way, same sex couples can be more open in public than straight people can, though the greatest restraint beyond holding hands is strongly advised.
- Shorts may be tolerated in some tourist areas, but conservative dress is the norm. No shorts or bare shoulders in the temples.
- Cambodians swim in their clothes. This is not thong country.
