However, this is just one of the amazing things Cambodia is known for. Let’s have a look why this Southeast Asian country should be your next traveling destination.

Temples of Angkor

Cambodia is the home to the biggest religious monument in the world. This fascinating building called Angkor Wat was built in the 12th century and it was originally a Hindu Temple. However, with time it transformed into a Buddhist sanctuary. This UNESCO World Heritage Site was featured in the world-famous movie Tomb Raider.

The Southern Island

Cambodia’s southern islands are a tropical Shangri-La many travelers are seeking. Although still untouched by the mega-resorts that have sprouted across southern Thailand, many of the islands have been tagged for major development by well-connected foreign investors. Visit Koh Rong that is known for its sandy coves and coral reefs.
