Cambodia Vacation Guide
Cambodia - a land of forgotten temple ruins, virgin beaches, hill tribes, rainforests, four years of genocide and some of the most friendly people in the world - has until recently, seen peace and a semi-stable government determined to lure the tourist numbers in.
During the Khmer Rouge period (1975-1979), around 2 million Cambodians, roughly 1/4 of the population, perished. The country was turned into a large concentration camp and all things deemed as a threat to the Khmer Rouge were destroyed and killed.
Angkor Wat, the most famous landmark of Cambodia, is an impressive site constructed over 800 years ago. Located in Siem Reap, Angkor Park encompasses some 100+ ancient ruins and remains one of the 7 Wonders of the World in many people's hearts. Angkor Wat is one of the largest religious monuments in the world and is a unique structure.
Phnom Penh, Cambodia's bustling capital, is home to the Royal Palace, the National Museum (housing Angkor artifacts), Toul Sleng Prison, the Killing Fields, the Independence Monument and other historical sites. The pristine beaches and untouched islands is a draw for tourists and locals alike. Through the rapid change and modernization to cater to the influx of tourists, many resorts have been constructed, more under construction.
Newly opened up regions of Mondolkiri and Ratanakiri have seen an influx of tourists for a more authentic taste of Asian hill tribes, pristine forests and amazing waterfalls.
