Royal palace of Cambodia

A visit to the royal palace was a nice cultural experience. While it is busy with plenty of tourists, it was an interesting look into the architecture, religious history and more of the country. There are some areas you can’t enter as they’re still used, and some more areas may be closed if foreign political guests are visiting and being received. The silver pagoda was an impressive display and it was an enjoyable morning wandering around. When it’s hot there are fans in buildings that help keep the heat manageable and cold drinks/ice blocks can be purchased near the exit. The temple cats are looked after and were cute to see as well. It didn’t take long to get in and once we were there weren’t lines to get in certain buildings. Please remember to show respect - cover shoulders and knees, take off shoes inside some buildings when asked/signed and don’t take photos of areas that are posted as not for photography.
