People visit Cambodia to see ancient temples like Angkor Wat, relax on beautiful beaches, and experience the rich culture and history. Visitors also appreciate the delicious and affordable cuisine, the friendly and welcoming nature of the Cambodian people, and the opportunity for authentic travel experiences in both its bustling cities and tranquil countryside.
Like a lot of Asian cuisines, so rich in flavour and style, the food is a major reason we love the Southeast Asian region. Thailand may take all the plaudits but Cambodia has some dishes to savour too. If you’re a bit of a foodie, you will enjoy the noodles, seafood, meats, rice, and a flurry of spices and herbs, Cambodia will be a great place to indulge!
Move over Thailand - Cambodia has some spectacular beaches Not only that but the white-sand-squeaky-fluffy kind just makes us feel like we’re floating on clouds. Koh Rong and Koh Rong Samloem take the most attention and rightly so.The prior gains more tourists because it’s more lit up with guesthouses, bars, restaurants and a larger population. Samloem on the other hand is a paradise getaway from paradise. A long line of hotel resorts, small riveting ocean waves hitting the shores of the white sands and a much quieter vibe is perfect for relaxing. Samloem is simpler, but a tad more beautiful we think. Take your pick!
With the Khmer Rouge's regime only as recent as the 1970s (OK, that might be a long time ago for some of you), Cambodia’s historic past is very much at some of the forefronts of tourism here. Visit Phnom Penh, Cambodia’s capital for the most sombre of experiences. Visit the Killing Fields for an audio account of some of the experiences of the citizens during the regime. As you listen to these eerie tales, you’ll walk through the remnants of the regime's methods.After you’ve taken all that in, the S-21 Museum is a more visual reminder of the devastating past, a place where many of the Khmers' victims were kept, tortured and killed. This may be a little too heavy for the ever-go-happy traveller, but it is important to learn about the history of Cambodia.
Cambodia is an incredible country for an authentic, traditional Southeast Asian experience. Despite its world-class ruins, pristine beaches and beautiful sites, Cambodia is a little grittier in comparison to its neighbours Thailand and Vietnam.
Nevertheless, with approximately 75% of the population residing on farms and rice fields, you’ll feel the traditional lifestyle that is embodied within Cambodia. The people are humble yet curious and the cities are kept preserved with a hint of growing modernity. Cambodia is a country that allows you to experience its natural and historic wonders while revelling in its natural state.
Angkor Wat- not only is it #1 with Trip Advisor, but since 2013 Angkor has seen around 2 million foreign tourists visit annually. These 12th-century ruins are the largest religious monuments ever built, with each temple and ruin intricately designed with their own unique purpose and identity. It’s impossible not to be in awe of such a place, especially if you make it for sunrise or wait around for sunset. Angkor is a UNESCO Heritage Site, and the Ta Prohm temple was the setting for Angelina Jolie’s 2001 action epic Tomb Raider. If you’re really into your cultural kicks, definitely take your time here. I mean, if your main tourist attraction is rated as the #1 attraction in the world on Trip Advisor, then you know you’re in a travel-rich destination.
Spend three days in Siem Reap to discover the true insides and outs of these marvellous temples. One day with a guide, one day for photography and one day roaming freely, with perhaps some music to go with it!
Truly secluded, authentic jungle life awaits you in the Cardamom Mountains, Southeast Asia’s largest remaining rainforest. If trekking deep into the jungle, spotting endangered wildlife, swimming in hidden waterfalls and staying in remote villages sounds like something you want to add to your bucket list then you should consider booking a trip to Cambodia soon.
Whether you want to explore Angkor Wat, the streets of Siem Reap, or discover traditional floating villages, Cambodia has something to offer everyone. Its rich culture and history, stunning beaches, delicious cuisine, exciting nightlife, and more make Cambodia a must-see destination! The pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters of this Southeast Asian gem will not disappoint whether you are seeking adventure or just a relaxing vacation. Pack your bags and get ready to explore one of the world’s most picturesque countries – Cambodia awaits!
