Description

Enchanting Cambodia is a colourful and informative introduction to one of the most fascinating and distinctive countries in Southeast Asia, home of the great Khmer civilization, which created the vast temple complex at Angkor.

Most visitors come to see Angkor Wat, the main temple that was lost in the jungle for centuries, and is now part of a renowned World Heritage Site. However, Cambodia has much more to offer, including the landmarks and temples of Phnom Penh, wildlife-watching at Angkor and Tonle Sap, the relaxed resorts of the south and a still-present French colonial heritage visitors arriving at Phnom Penh international airport may be surprised to find French taking precedence over English on the arrival signs, and the aroma of coffee and croissants in the air.
