Greetings from Cambodians depend on the age and relationship of the people. The traditional greeting is called “Sampeah” when you bow and bring the hands together. Where you join your hands whether, at the level of your chest, chin, nose, eyebrows, or over the head differs depending on who you are greeting. The greater the respect you want to show, the lower the bow and higher the hands. Sampeah is more than a form of greeting as it is also used to express recognition and respect to others. As a result, it is considered impolite not to return a Sampeah.
Cambodians are those who have a close connection to their family and often live together in the extended family. It is not hard to see a family with three to five generations. In addition, Cambodian love a big family, so they often give birth from three to five children.
