Discover Cambodia with our experts Paul Craven & Sally Walters. Their combined knowledge draws its strength from Paul's fascination for off the beaten track villages and cultures and the less explored temples of Angkor Wat and Sally's love of markets, boutique hotels and local festivals.
A strangely beautiful and beguiling country, Cambodia rarely fails to enchant and engage its visitors.
A country of charm, its artistic and cultural heritage is defined by the extraordinary temple complex of Angkor Wat, the impressive legacy of the Khmer Empire and one of the ancient wonders of the world. This combined with the hustle and bustle of its small South East Asian cities such as Siem Reap and Phnom Penh make it a truly fascinating destination.
Shadowed with a violent history under the Khmer reign, Cambodia has managed to move on from its grueling past to create a welcoming and intoxicating country full of charismatic chaos and intrigue. Its regions contrast perfectly with each other offering subtle blends of peace in the seaside town of Kampot, adventure in the many jungles of the Mondulkiri Province and wonderment in The temples of Angkor.
The years of fear and loathing are finally over and Angkor is once more the symbol of the nation, drawing pilgrims from across the globe. Peace has come to this beautiful yet blighted land after three decades of war, and the Cambodian people have opened their arms to the world. Tourism has well and truly taken off, yet a journey here remains an adventure as much as a holiday.
Although largely overlooked for its neighbouring countries, Cambodia can offer cuisine to match that of Vietnam, pristine beaches to rival those found in Thailand and architectural wonders which overshadow many found in Myanmar and Indonesia, a true fascinating South East Asian gem.
