Cambodia

The Kingdom of Cambodia has seen some turbulent times but it is now at peace and set to take its place as one of South-East Asia’s most fascinating and rewarding destinations.

Despite being much smaller than its neighbours Cambodia’s unique Indian-influenced Khmer culture has remained very much in tact. The once mighty Khmer Empire flourished during the Angkorian period between the 9th and 14th centuries when it was the cultural centre of the region and exerted its influence over Vietnam, Laos and Thailand. For many of today’s travellers the incredible architectural legacy left from this period of history, the temples of Angkor, are without doubt the main reason for visiting Cambodia.

Cambodia is a heady mix of cosmopolitan capital, Phnom Penh, once considered one of the most beautiful cities of the Orient, the amazing Khmer architecture of temples and stunning mountain and crystal beach scenery.
