Spending how much pain and destruction under Khmer Rouge, how much poverty and political unstableness afterwards, Cambodia has come back to show the whole world its beauty and mystery.
Contemporary Cambodia is the successor state to the mighty Khmer empire, which during the Angkorian period, ruled much of what is now Laos, Thailand and Vietnam. The remains of this empire can be seen at the fabled temples of Angkor, monuments unrivalled in scale and grandeur in South East Asia. The traveller’s first glimpse of Angkor Wat, the ultimate expression of Khmer genius, is sublime and is matched by only a few select spots on earth, such as Machu Picchu or Petra.
Coming to Cambodia, you will find yourself immerse in the beauty of the capital Phnom Penh, which used to be chaotic but extremely attractive now with its gorgeous scenes by rivers, its cultural renaissance...that is rival to anywhere else in the region.
For those who desire to return the peaceful and tranquil countryside, then this is the place to experience the rhythm of rural life and timeless landscapes of dazzling rice paddies and swaying sugar palms.
For those who loves ecotourism adventures, come to the South Coast which is fringed by tropical islands, with just a handful of beach huts in sight. Inland from the coast lie the Cardamom Mountains, part of a vast tropical wilderness that provides a home to elusive wildlife.
