How hard is it to respect Cambodian cultural traditions and modesty. I am am westerner , the reason i travel to other countries is to see and experience that counties culture and also respect the local traditions. I don’t travel to other countries to see or to be embarrassed by western bogans who have no respect for anyone.

Well Jay,
Not really sure what your point is other than “you live in Thailand” I can not see who you are responding to but a waste of the purpose of these posts. Have a happy Khmer New year.

1. If your students are wearing short shorts, then you’re teaching prostitutes apparently. I’ve never taught at any school in Cambodia where there wasn’t a uniform the students had to wear. Perhaps you’re teaching at the University level? Still prostitutes, or they wouldn’t be wearing short shorts. Are you sure you don’t live in Thailand? Check a map.

2. I don’t see anyone driving motos with no shirt on in Phnom Penh. That’s just bullshit. You live in Thailand.

3. Why are there no strip clubs in Cambodia? Why is pornography illegal? Why both of those things even though prostitution is de facto legal? Because what she’s saying regarding Cambodian culture and modesty is dead on accurate and you live in Thailand.

Western habits will take over eventually anyway. Not a Spring break atmosphere though. Just my opinion.

As well as students in my classes with the shortest shorts I’ve ever seen. Guys regularly drive motos with no shirts on, it’s not just an outside of their house thing (and why does that matter? They’re still outside).

Not to mention that Apsara is a topless tradition anyway.
