Cambodia’s Ministry of Cults and Religion has reaffirmed guidelines for appropriate attire when visiting Buddhist temples. The June 25 directive emphasizes respect for Cambodian traditions, moral values, and Buddhist principles. Specifically, the ministry discourages revealing clothing such as sheer fabrics and spaghetti straps. The guidelines also address behavior, extending to online conduct on social media platforms. This move aims to encourage respectful conduct within sacred spaces and promote cultural preservation, particularly among younger generations. The ministry seeks to balance religious observance with modern social norms through these updated recommendations.
