Cambodia is the successor state of the mighty Khmer Empire, which ruled much of what is now Vietnam, Laos and Thailand. Among the achievements of Khmer civilisation are the magisterial temples of Angkor. There is no other historical site in South - East Asia that matches the grandeur of this ancient complex. Apart from the wonders of Angkor, Cambodia has a rich and proud culture, a charming French-era capital (albeit a little weathered) and impressive natural scenery.

Cambodia is slowly becoming a top destination on the South East Asia travel map. Aside from the impressive ancient temples, the Khmer people are the friendliest and most likeable in the region. Visiting Cambodia can be a beautiful experience of friendly conversations, smiles and polite bows, as well as a journey of fascinating history. One can also search for the charms of the French-era capital city Phnom Penh, visit the tragic horrors of the Killing Fields or drift past sleepy riverside locations on a boat trip.

Cambodia's landscape and scenery is also beautiful with lush green jungles and forests, fruit plantations, farms and mighty rivers. The country is not a place with efficient transport or luxurious hotels and resort living, but with world class attractions as well as golden beaches and islands, the country certainly has more than enough to delight.
