Cambodia, located on Southeast Asia's Indochinese mainland, is a region of plains and rivers, nestled between vital overland and river trade routes connecting China, India, and Southeast Asia. Cambodia is bounded by Thailand to the west and northwest, Laos to the northeast, Vietnam to the east and southeast, and the Gulf of Thailand to the southwest.

Although the temples of Angkor Wat are one of the most spectacular sights luring tourists to Cambodia, more and more people are realizing that Cambodia has much more to offer than the famed Angkor Temples.

Cambodia is blessed with undeveloped golden beaches, virgin forests, and lovely ancient colonial cities such as Phnom Penh, Battambang, Kampot, and Kep, all of which have a very soothing feel. Cambodia's capital and greatest city, Phnom Penh, was formerly renowed as the "Pearl of Asia". It serves as a business, cultural, and tourist hub. Battambang is created in the 11th century and is Cambodia's second-largest city. It serves as a sector hub on the Thailand-Vietnam overland route. The majestic 12th century Angkor Wat temple, the world's biggest religious monument and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is located in Siem Reap, a lively city. 

Cambodia's history is both exciting and depressing, uplifting and devastating. Witness harrowing reminders of the Khmer Rouge's horrors in Phnom Penh. This 15-million-strong country is still recuperating from the Khmer Rouge's devastation of 30 years ago.

Cambodia is also a memorable destination due to the peaceful, friendly, and charming demeanor of the Khmer people. After decades of instability and seclusion, Cambodia is emerging as a fresh and fascinating tourist destination. Prepare yourself for an emotional ride that will be with you for a long time.
