Cambodia is a Southeast Asian nation whose landscape spans low-lying plains, the Mekong Delta, mountains, and the Gulf of Thailand coastline.
The country’s capital, Phnom Penh, is home to the art deco Central Market, glittering Royal Palace, and the National Museum’s historical and archaeological exhibits.
If you are thinking of visiting Cambodia anytime, here are places you must see
Bassac Lane
Phnom Penh comes to life after hours and Bassac Lane is the place to be for drinks, live music, and bites. The almost-hidden alley is packed with a collection of boutique bars, restaurants, and stores, with the energy spilling into the early hours.
Russian Market
Stalls flogging everything from souvenirs, art, clothes, and jewelry to fruit and vegetables, household goods, and bike parts, a morning or afternoon can easily be spent wandering around the rabbit’s warren inside, with bargains waiting to be snagged if the haggling is right.
Preah Vihear
Cambodia’s lesser-known UNESCO site is well worth getting off the beaten track to visit. The stunning temple complex, which sits on the border of Thailand, boasts fewer crowds and a more authentic taste of the Khmer kingdom. Breath-taking views from its summit can be enjoyed.
Kratie
A trip to this remote eastern province brings with it a wealth of wildlife opportunities. This includes rare Irrawaddy dolphins spotted swimming in stretches of the Mekong River and Cantor’s giant softshell turtles can be seen at the Mekong Turtle Conservation Centre. A taste of local life can be sampled at eco-tourism project Le Tonle.
