"Children of the Temples" Cambodia Local Custom Tip by keeweechic

Cambodia Local Customs: 106 reviews and 107 photos

 
 

All around the temples you will see children. Most either shoeless or with wearing flipflops (jandals/thongs) and scruffy in appearance. Their bright eyes and smiles more than make up for their appearance. Most are under the age from 10 or 11 and are only to willing to show you the sites or sell you souvenirs, with their little hands out of course. These children are certainly not shy and most seem to treat the sites as their own playground.

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
