Greeting

Dear visitors.
Now I am giving you a quote of how Cambodian people greeting each other.
Cambodian people greeting each other by placing both hands together palm
to palm in front of the chest with fingers pointing upward, and saying that
“Chum Reab Sour”, means “Hello”. However, there are five principles of
greeting in Khmer, according to whom we are greeting to.
***By the way this is not for only (Hello) but they also use to say (Good bye)=(Chum Reab Lea)
Here below is the sample of how they are greeting:

















Type 1:

Praying to God we must place both hands together, fingers pointing must be over your forehead.

 Type 2:

To salute the King and Bhikhus (monk), place both hands together, fingers pointing up to your eyebrow.

Type 3:

To salute your parents or teacher, your fingers pointing must be at the end of your nose.

Type 4:

To salute your elders or someone who older than you, your fingers pointing are at your lip.

Type 5:

To greet people who are the same age to you, your fingers pointing should be below your chin. For greeting back to someone younger than you, when they salute to you, your hands raise on your chest.
