What to See in Cambodia
Of course, most people will cite the temple complex at Angkor and more likely Angkor Wat itself as being the reason they visit Cambodia and indeed some 50% of tourists to the country make a beeline to Siem Reap, the site of the temples. But Cambodia has so much more to see. The French left a charming architectural legacy that the Khmer Rouge miraculously did not destroy and Cambodia has many beautiful natural spots as well as interesting cultural sites and sights, both religious and secular.
Like most Southeast Asian people, the Cambodians are unassuming, modest and extremely welcoming and these attributes make them good hosts; something that many Westerners greatly appreciate when there is a language barrier.
Cambodia is certainly not lacking in charm and allure.
