It is also customary to tell parents or elders where they are going and at what time they return. Other customs in Cambodia, is when you close a door you have to do it gently, otherwise you consider that person with a bad temper. If we travel to Cambodia we should also pay attention when we sit down, since there one can not sit cross-legged, since this is only done by the rude, and that we must allow others to speak more than what we talk about ourselves. We have to be careful when we meet someone, since in the Khmer culture it is forbidden to touch the head of a person and even children, because it is considered that in the head is where the soul of each person lives. In turn, the feet are considered a part of the body impure, because they are the lowest part and touch the ground. Therefore, you should never point to a person with their feet, as it is disrespectful. The Culture of Cambodia or Khmer Culture is the set of characteristics that make up the social, historical and anthropological identity of the Khmer ethnic group in Southeast Asia. The Khmer Culture is present in the modern Kingdom of Cambodia, but due to traces of the ancient Angkor Empire, it also comprises significant nuclei in the surrounding countries whose territories were part of that Empire and which are Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Burma. Due to the Khmer migrations abroad, especially to Europe, North America and Oceania, there are currently groups that share the Khmer identity.
There are also non-Khmer minority groups in the Cambodian territory, but for which the name Cambodian Culture would be more precise. And then the customs are: Celebration of the New Year (Khmer) at the end of April, Water Festival, Ramadan and The Liberation of Phonom Penh.
