Cloths: Cambodian culture is very modest about the style of clothing that people wear. Because of this, we want teams to adapt to the culture which means that you may have to dress differently than you would at home. When doing ministry, we ask that women wear shirts or blouses that cover the shoulders, stomach, and that don’t have a low-cut neck line. Women should wear dresses, skirts, capris, or pants that cover the knees. Guys also need to keep their shoulders and knees covered, so don’t wear shorts that show your knees. Make sure that you bring clothes that are not in bad condition, such as holes, stains, etc.

In teaching situations, team members should dress more formally. For women, this means a skirt and blouse, a dress, or nice pants and a top. For guys, this means slacks, and a shirt with buttons. Short sleeve is fine for this. Sandals/flip-flops are commonly worn in Cambodia and should be appropriate for most situations, unless it’s a more formal setting. Make sure your shoes are comfortable for walking.

For time off and casual time feel free to wear appropriate length shorts and t-shirts. Be comfortable and enjoy your fabric.
