Its common to see anywhere in Cambodia that men wear longsleeve polos(also in common in Vietnam that men also wear longsleeve polos)and i also saw in Cambodia that women there wear hats.Almost every lady i saw in Phnom Penh were wearing hats and almost all men too wear polo longsleeves.Is this all about the Indian influence?

I wear long-sleeve polo too. I can't answer for others but my personal preference for long-sleeve polo is because the sun can really get to me. It's like wearing hat, it's cumbersome but you feel much better under the sun.

Are you trying to troll us with the "Indian influence" part?

I guess there is a surplus of bucket hats and dress shirts being sent to Cambodia as charity (notice how oversized those dress shirts are).
