Travel to Cambodia

Holidays in Cambodia

Cambodia postcard Cambodia is a country located in the South-East of Asia world-renowned for better or for worst.
The better thanks to gorgeous and grand Angkor temples, but unfortunately, the worst because of the terrible Khmer Rouge regime, the atrocities perpetrated and the thousands mines spread out across the country which keep on killing blindingly.

Cambodia: focus on tourism

Since Khmer Rouge regime was removed from power in 1979 Cambodia has been starting a new life. Tourism increases regularly, some two million people are yearly expected to travel to Cambodia. Today Angkor temples attract almost every tourists attention but soon the rest of the country will take advantage of tourism development and make holidays in Cambodia a must do.

The must see Cambodia Angkor temples were on our list. But we also wanted to see off the beaten track Cambodia, that's why we chose to go to Battambang after our stay in Phnom penh Cambodia capital city. We took a local bus to reach this colonial style city on Sangker riverbanks.

All along this Cambodia travel we met quite a lot of cambodian people who helped us know more about their great country. Khmer people are friendly and authentic. In spite of the chaotic circulation and the pollution, the general atmosphere of the cities is peaceful.

Is travelling to Cambodia cheap?
