APSARA Authority, who manages the Angkor temples and the surrounding area, confirmed a crackdown on certain Angkor Wat souvenirs being sold inside the archaeological complex.

Angkor Souvenirs

They say, that certain souvenirs are denigrating the World Heritage site. As well as selling practices that they say are irritating tourists. Vendors will no longer be able to sell Angkor Wat-inscribed ashtrays or drinking glasses that contained a sketching of the temple at the bottom of the glass.

Apsara Authority also announced a crackdown on the practice of vendors superimposing photographs of tourists on an Angkor Wat background that they then  printed on a souvenir and sold.
