I don't remember there being that many of them in Angkor Wat. There were many more in the big Mexican sites, and they were a lot more aggressive, crowded and problematic.

Same. It’s true that it’s been about 5 years since I’ve been there and things might’ve changed since then, but I’ve never found them to be pushy and annoying - barely even noticed them and they were mostly selling water and stuff like that.

not as bad as missioners, at least the souvenirs in mexico, cambodia and similar are of some value for money and provide income to the people instead of to a few friends of the local authorities. The problem everywhere is the selling of goods using children that should be at schools or the monopolizing of a marketplace destroying it along with the small industries.
