One of the leading hotels in Siem Reap, Angkor Palace Resort & Spa is the first Cambodian-owned premier luxury five-star resort accommodation. Its design, décor and furnishing reflect the finest in Cambodian architecture befitting royalties and dignitaries.
Cambodians traditionally greet with a Sampeah, which involves pressing
the palms together before the Chest with a slight bow and greeting with a
polite "Chumreap Suor". Customarily, the higher the hands are held and
the lower the bow, the more respect is conveyed. Except when meeting
elderly people or government afficals, between men, this custom has been
partially replaced by the handshake. Women usually great both men and
women with the same traditional greetings although it may be considered
acceptable for foreigners to shake hands with a Cambodian, it is more
appropriate to respect the custome and respond with a "Chumreap Suor".
