Cambodia isn’t just a destination, it’s an experience that lingers long after you leave. It is a whirlwind of ancient wonders, sun-drenched beaches, and the kindest smiles I’ve encountered anywhere.
Angkor Wat, of course, steals the show. Towering over the jungle canopy, it felt like stepping into Indiana Jones’ world. But Cambodia’s beauty extends far beyond temples. Sunsets over the cobalt waters of Sihanoukville were pure magic, and the hammock strung between palm trees on Koh Rong would lull you into a blissful state.
The vibrant energy of Phnom Penh is a welcome contrast. Bustling markets overflowed with exotic fruits and handcrafted souvenirs and modern skyscrapers. In Kampot, you can kayakethrough emerald mangroves, the silence broken only by the calls of exotic birds.
But Cambodia’s true beauty lies in its people. Their resilience in the face of hardship is humbling, their smiles genuine and warm. A simple “Sukh sdei!” (hello!) on the street was always met with a wave and a giggle.
Whether you’re seeking ancient mysteries, tropical paradises, or cultural immersion, Cambodia has it all. Scroll down to see some pictures – Angkor Wat, the riverside in Phnom Penh, lazy days on Koh Rong, and so much more. Cambodia is calling – are you ready to answer?

The Fall/Winter 2024 edition, held on December 7 at the Connexion hub on Koh Pich, features the theme “Fashion in a Changing World.”
Bonn Om Touk or the Cambodian Water & Moon Festival, is a Cambodian festival which marks the the end of the rainy season and reversal of the flow of the Tonle Sap River.

People from every province join with the city’s residents to celebrate by night and day. The festival lasts three days, and commemorates the end of the country’s rainy season, as well as the change in flow of the Tonle Sap River. It includes boat races and concerts, and attracts several million people each year.
