Local Friends in Cambodia

Angkor temples, Mekong sunsets, Phnom Penh nights — Cambodia rewards travellers who slow down.

Cambodia is what most travellers think Thailand was 30 years ago — calmer, smaller, raw in the best way. Angkor Wat alone is reason to fly. But the country is more than its temples: Phnom Penh's riverfront, the Tonle Sap lake floating villages, the unspoilt beaches of the south. A Cambodian local friend translates the country's complicated recent history, gets you to the temples before sunrise, and orders amok the way locals eat it.
