Nudies and inappropriate dress to be banned at Angkor Wat.

Following the spate of nude photos taken at Angkor Wat last year by tourists, the Apsara Authority has decided to take measures to cover up inappropriately dressed tourists who visit the site. I am not sure how they will be able do this apart from telling them to go get changed - or putting a bin of charity-shop clothes at the entrance.
I thought the authorities had already addressed this with the Angkor Visitor Code of Conduct, but maybe they are going to get tough on singlets and shorts now ?

Inappropriate dress will be strictly banned from Cambodia’s famed Angkor Archaeological Park starting next month, according to the Aspara Authority, the public organization tasked with managing the UNESCO World Heritage site.

After the ban is put in place, inappropriately dressed visitors at Angkor – those with bare shoulders, short shorts, short skirts or nothing at all – will be asked to change into less revealing outfits.

The ban hopes to “protect” Cambodian culture and the role the temples play therein, an Aspara Authority statement read...

If we assume that the idea is to have a saucy picture (arty or otherwise) with carved
Angkorian stone as a backdrop, there are plenty of unsupervised places with pleasant backdrops.

Some are Vogue-level classy and others are just silly nonsense ...
