Planning your trip to Cambodia
Cambodia is in Southeast Asia bordered by Laos in the north, Thailand in the northwest, and the southeast by Vietnam and in the south by the Gulf of Thailand.
Cambodia is the homeland of the Khmer people, during its long history Cambodia was by ruled by Thailand and Vietnam, in the 16 century the Portugues, in the 1850s increasingly by France until it became a French colony. During WW II for a short period of time Cambodia was under Japanese rule, but at the end of the war returned to France as a protectorate until it gained independence in 1954.
In 1976 a horrific civil war broke out and under the reign of Pol Pot and the Khmer communists roughly a fifth of the population (some 1.5-2 million people) was murdered, either through starvation or poverty.
Today Cambodia is growing as a destination in Asia. So much to see and do and enjoy this rich culture.

Sites in Cambodia
The most well-known location in Cambodia is Angkor Wat, a magnificent city of temples built between 9th-13th centuries when Khmer culture was at its peak. The remains have been incredibly well preserved in the jungle and are one of the most impressive architectural achievements in human history.
Phnom Penh is a busy city, extreme poverty along with incredible wealth is part of the city. The city was the capital of Cambodia for most of the period from the middle of the 15th century to the present. Some 15 km (10 miles) outside of the city one can visit the killing fields, a shocking memory and witness of the atrocities committed against the Cambodian people by the Khmer Rouge between 1975-1978.
