Phnom Penh is Cambodiàs second most popular tourist destination next to Siem Reap Angkor. Situated at the confluence of three great rivers, Phnom Penh is the capital city of Cambodia.
The city offers some cultural and historical attractions, including the Silver Pagoda, the Royal Palace, National Museum, and the Toul Sleng Genocide Museum. |

In 1960, Kep was Cambodia's premier beach town, with pictoresque shores and rich villas. Nowdays, the old villas are in ruins, and the town is known more for its oceanfront seafood stalls than for its beaches, which are narrow and stony. Kep has a kind of "out of the way" feeling: jungled mountains, empty beaches and few tourist services.
Suggested tour from Keo is "Rabbit Island": white beaches, coconut trees, and delicious crabs and seafood. |

Quiet streets, few tourists, Chinese and French colonial architecture, all serve to lend Kampot a quaint and much older small town ambience.
Visitors come to Kampot for a taste of provincial Cambodia, the tranquil atmosphere, and to use Kampot as a base or a stepping stone to the Bokor Hill Station.
Our opinion about Kampot and the Bokor Hill National Park? Not worse it... go somewhere else!

"Beach Town", "port community", "fledgling resort destination": all describe Sihanouk Ville, Cambodiàs premier beach town. Sihanouk Ville white sand beaches and warm Gulf of Thailand waters combine with a laid back, beachy atmosphere to provide a great little tropical getaway.
Sihanouk Ville is a place to unwind by the beach, enjoy the fresh from-the-ocean seafood, take in a snorkeling or scuba trip, and generally slow-down, lay back and chill-out.

Battambang town is at the heart of Cambodiàs "rice bowl", and even though it is the country's second biggest town, it still has a very local, untouristed, provincial atmosphere.
Unlike more touristed towns, the local economy is truly local, based firmly in rice, wood, sapphires and food crops.
The nearby countryside also harbors old pagodas, Angkorian era ruins, caves, waterfalls, and even Khmer Rouge period killing fields.

From Battambang to decided to go to Siem Reap, to visit Angkor. Usually the tourists move from Battambang to Siem Reap by boat, but we decided differently, and we went by bus.
What you see in the pictures is a small village, where we stoped for lunch. The real Cambodia, not the turistic one! |

We spent three days walking around the wonderful arts let by the Angkor Empire, an empire who help sway over the are of modern Cambodia, and much of Thailand, Vietnam and Laos, for more than three centuries.
At its height, the Age of Angkor was a time when the capital area contained more than a million people, when Khmer kings constructed vast waterworks and grand temples.
Angkor became a World Heritage Site in 1992.
The result of those days of visiting Angkor are kept in these photo galleries.
For those who prefer to see only the best pictures, we have done this selection of photos, which let a good memory in our minds! |
