Travel to Cambodia to experience a slice of revolutionary history, meet the incredibly friendly Khmer people and take-in the country’s breathtaking natural beauty. The powerful Khmer empire once ruled Cambodia, along with contemporary Laos, Thailand and Vietnam. Remnants from those days can be found scattered throughout the country in the form of ancient monuments, most notably the temples of Angkor. Albeit retaining its historical charm, Cambodia travel isn’t solely about the past. The country’s capital city of Phnom Penh is bustling, noisy and seductively chaotic, bursting with quality restaurants and a lively nightlife.
