THE LAND OF WONDERS

From the jaw-dropping Angkor Wat to the golden beaches of Koh Rong, Cambodia is a land of ancient wonders and endless adventure. Get lost in jungle-clad temples, zip through chaotic city streets in a tuk-tuk, and feast on sizzling Khmer BBQ. Whether you're chasing waterfalls in Mondulkiri, floating down the Mekong, or watching the sunrise over Angkor, Cambodia is a place that surprises, delights and, for all the right reasons, pushes you out of your comfort zone.

SOME OF MY TOP PICkS

ANGKOR & SIAM REAP

Siem Reap isn’t just the gateway to Angkor Wat—it’s a destination all on its own. By day, explore the legendary Angkor temples, where ancient stone faces smile down at you and jungle vines creep through hidden ruins. Climb Bayon’s towers, wander through the overgrown magic of Ta Prohm, and catch a sunrise that’ll leave you speechless at Angkor Wat.

By night, Siem Reap turns up the energy. Tuk-tuks zip through the streets, the Pub Street lights glow, and the night markets fill with sizzling street food and ice-cold beers. Fancy something different? Take a boat ride on Tonle Sap Lake, meet floating villages, or enjoy a dreamy sunset over the water.

Whether you’re here for the temples, the nightlife, or just the adventure, Siem Reap is a mix of ancient mystery and modern fun—totally unmissable! 

KOH RONG ISLANDS

If you’ve ever dreamed of stranded-on-a-tropical-island-but-make-it-paradise, welcome to Koh Rong and Koh Rong Samloem. Powdery white sand, swaying palm trees, and water so blue it looks photoshopped—this is Cambodia’s ultimate island escape.

Koh Rong is the wild one, with beach bars, fire shows, and late-night parties under the stars. If you’re craving adventure, dive into snorkeling, kayaking, or bioluminescent plankton swims—yep, the water literally glows at night.

For a more laid-back vibe, hop over to Koh Rong Samloem, the chilled-out little sister where life moves at hammock speed. Think jungle hikes, hidden coves, and beachfront bungalows where you fall asleep to the sound of the waves.

No matter which island you choose, one thing’s for sure—leaving will be the hardest part

PHNOM penh

Phnom Penh is Cambodia’s beating heart—a city of contrasts where bustling street markets sit alongside grand palaces, and riverside cafés hum with life. But beyond the tuk-tuks and rooftop bars, there’s a deep and powerful history to explore.

The Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S-21) and the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek offer a sobering glimpse into Cambodia’s past under the Khmer Rouge. It’s a tough but important experience that leaves you with a deeper understanding of the country and its resilience.

For a change of pace, wander through the glittering Royal Palace, visit the Silver Pagoda, or take in sunset views along the lively Sisowath Quay. Whether you’re diving into history, tasting the city’s epic street food, or just watching the world go by from a riverside café, Phnom Penh is raw, real, and unforgettable.
