Cambodia travel guide
When you think of traveling to Southeast Asia, you might think about going to Vietnam or to Thailand. However, more and more people are making their way to Cambodia. It's a beautiful country with a terrain that changes as you move through it. Of course there are the flatlands where rice is grown, but there are also higher and even mountainous areas as well as jungles. The Mekong River is one noticeable body of water as is the beautiful inland freshwater lake. You can relax on beautiful beaches and enjoy the warm climate.
The city of Phnom Penh is gradually becoming more stable after a long period of poverty and instability, so you'll want to visit it to see for yourself how the niceties of life are returning to a place that for so long had to do without. There are nice touches here and in towns around the country that remind of French colonial times with French culture, food, and architecture.
For an ancient perspective travel to the grand temples at Angkor Wat to see how this primarily Buddhist country developed spiritually and culturally.
