Cambodia
Cambodia, a land of ancient wonders, unfolds its diverse regions. Siem Reap, home to Angkor Wat, exudes historical grandeur. Phnom Penh, the vibrant capital, blends modernity with rich heritage. Coastal towns like Sihanoukville offer beach retreats, while lush landscapes and cultural gems grace the countryside. Cambodia, a tapestry of history and beauty.
Cambodia’s second most populous city and a popular tourist destination due to the many nearby ancient temples, Buddhist shrines and the infamous bamboo railway. It is also the capital city of the Battambang province.
Kep was Cambodia’s top seaside destination until eclipsed in the 1960s by Sihanoukville (and, soon after, decades of civil war). The town is full of ruined shells of old villas, destroyed in the Khmer Rouge days and during the subsequent Civil War and stripped down by the leaving Vietnamese army.
Phnom Penh is the capital of Cambodia, known for its rich history and culture. The region is rich in history and natural cuisine, with vibrant night markets offering the best street food, providing a true taste of urban life.
Siem Reap, which translates to “Siam Defeated,” is an escape to the wonders of Cambodia famous for the nearby Angkor Wat temple and its complex stunning ruins.
Sihanoukville, with its lively energy and pristine beaches, serves as the perfect base to explore nearby islands like Song Saa and Krabey Island. Beyond the resorts, hidden coves, dense national parks, and vibrant coral reefs await on nearby beaches such as Koh Rong, and Koh Rong Samloem.
Stretching over some 400 square kilometres, including forested area, Angkor Archaeological Park contains the magnificent remains of several capitals of the Khmer Empire of the 9th to the 15th centuries, including the largest pre-industrial city in the world. The most famous are the Temple of Angkor Wat and, at Angkor Thom, the Bayon Temple with its countless sculptural decorations .
