No selfies with monks, no revealing clothing and no smoking! Hilarious video shows tourists how to behave at Angkor Wat

  • Handing money to children and touching temple reliefs are forbidden
  • The two-minute clip starts with a Khmer king riding through the complex 
  • Code of conduct video has been sent to every TV channel in Cambodia 

Cracking down on inappropriate behaviour, Angkor Wat in Cambodia has released a hilarious new video urging tourists to take note of their code of conduct.

The two-minute clip starts off with a Khmer king, riding through the grounds of the complex on the back of an elephant - before he suddenly halts after noticing a woman's strappy heels.

Issues addressed in the footage include travellers taking selfies with monks, handing money to children and touching temple reliefs.

Following the Khmer king noticing the leggy blonde - who is also wearing hot pants - the complex's first warning is shown. No revealing clothes.

The king's mouth drops open in shock when he catches another tourist with a cigarette between his lips in the clip which soon warns that smoking is forbidden.

He scans the area to hone in on his next target, a woman handing money to a begging child, which is against the new code of conduct - along with giving children sweets.

The remainder of the video comprises a tourist chasing a pair of monks and taking a selfie with the unimpressed duo, a man climbing - who is later addressed by security, and two people leaving litter on the steps of a temple.

At one point, two women can be seen placing their feet and hands against a temple relief as they take a holiday snap, much to the king's horror.

Beginning in January, the world's largest religious monument and UNESCO World Heritage Monument will also open two of their temples two hours earlier, from 5:30am, to cater to those tourists keen to see the magical place at sunrise.

But until then, the recently-published code of conduct has already begun to be enforced, with posters hung up around the complex. 

At the end of the video, which has been sent to every TV channel in Cambodia, the Khmer king looks physically drained as he hangs his head.

The new code of conduct prohibits revealing clothing, smoking, and giving money to begging children
