Probably you already heard and knew that Angkor Wat is the largest religious monument in the world. But Cambodia is much more than just Angkor Wat. There are so many fascinating things to do and see while in Cambodia, such as the amazing ruins, ancient temples, jaw dropping landscapes and so much history to discover.
Even though Cambodia has a horrific past, the people are warm and very welcoming and will be proud to show their home country to you. I hope you enjoy a trip to this amazing country through my photos!
