The height of the fingertip depends on the identity of the other person, and you can also kneel or bow down to the king, members of the royal family and monks. Handshakes are also popular in social situations, but it is appropriate for men and women to cross the border.

The marriage custom in Cambodia is that the man "marries" to the woman's house. All the weddings were held in the woman's home, and the wedding was presided over by the most prestigious elder in the village. The traditional houses of Cambodians are mostly high-rise buildings with bamboo and wood structures, about two meters from the ground, with people living above and farm tools and vehicles parked below.

Cambodian people take rice as their staple food and fish and shrimp as their main non-staple food. They like to eat spicy vegetables, such as raw peppers, onions and ginger, as well as lettuce, raw meat and pickled fish sauce.
