Kampot Kampot While the nearby resort town of Sihanoukville has long since woken up to tourism, Kampot, Cambodia, still slumbers. This enchanting town is set against the backdrop of the Elephant Mountains and offers an interesting mix of Chinese and French colonial architecture that gives it a special character. It is located 91 mi/148 km from Phnom Penh. There are some nice riverside cafes and restaurants to enjoy the unhurried atmosphere of this pleasant town. Kampot is easy to explore on foot or by bicycle. A main attraction is the nearby Bokor Hill Station, the remains of a hotel and residences built by the French in the 1920s. This fascinating site not only offers a glimpse of history, it also enjoys spectacular views of coastline. Guided trips to Bokor Hill Station can be arranged in Kampot as can treks and cycle tours. The quiet nearby beach resort of Kep is also worth a visit.	Destination Guide
Angkor Wat Angkor Wat Located in Northwestern Cambodia, Angkor, the Capital of the Ancient Khmer Empire was possibly founded around the Ninth Century AD by King Jayavarman II. However, the city reached its peak glory in the 12th Century under Kings Suryavarman II and Jayavarman VII. The most beautiful and most famous monument in the city, Angkor Wat, lies about one kilometer south of the Royal town of Angkor Thom which was founded by Jayavarman VII.
Phnom Penh Phnom Penh Phnom Penh is the capital of Cambodia and situated at the confluence of three rivers, the Mekong, Tonle Sap and Bassac. Considered the gateway to this exotic country, everything of interest can be found within its reach – the temples of Angkor, the beaches to the south and the ethnic minorities and jungles of the north. Being the hub of the country, the city is filled cultural and historic attractions, such as national museums, monuments and the Silver Pagoda. The Silver Pagoda is probably the city’s most visited pagoda because of its vast display of historical objects. There are also over 5000 silver tiles which cover the floor. Over the past few years, the city has experienced an influx of tourists.	Destination Guide
Siem Reap Siem Reap The small provincial capital of Siem Reap stretches along the Siem Reap river – surrounded by rice paddies and serving as the gateway to centuries-old temple ruins of the Khmer Empire. Designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, Angkor Archaeological Park contains numerous temple ruins including Bayon, Banteay Srey and legendary Angkor Wat. Those visiting the site stay in Siem Reap. Experience some local flavor, attend a dance performance, or shop in some local craft shops. Angkor Wat’s artistic and archaeological significance rivals the Pyramids in Egypt, Machu Picchu in Peru and the Taj Mahal in India. Unspoiled by over-development, many areas of the area are possible to explore away from crowds. Its three-tiered massive pyramid is crowned by five beehive-like towers on the ground. It is the centerpiece of any visit to temples in Angkor. This amazing structure is thought to be dedicated to the Hindu god, Vishnu.	Destination Guide
