Visitors to the Angkor Wat temple complex will have to follow a stricter dress code from next month.
Managing agency Apsara Authority said it will enforce the dress code from August 4.
It forms part of the ‘visitor etiquette’ guidelines updated by the agency last year.
The updates were made in response to several well publicised incidents of naked selfies at the UNESCO World Heritage site.
Any scantily clad visitors will be refused entry, Aspara spokesman Long Kosal told the Phnom Penh Post.
"We will not allow them to buy a temple pass if they wear revealing clothes, however, our officials will inform them what they should wear to be able to visit our ancient temples, so they can come back to buy a ticket later after they change their clothes."
"When visitors dress appropriately during their visit to the park, it means they are showing respect to Cambodian sacred temples, culture and Cambodian women’s values," he added.
The code of conduct for visitors also bans touching ancient structures and taking selfies with monks.
According to Apsara Authority, Angkor Wat brought in about $60 million revenue in ticket sales and remains one of Asia’s top historic and cultural attractions.
