Cambodia is located on mainland Southeast Asia between Thailand to the west and north and with Vietnam to the east. It offers jaw-droppingly beautiful ancient temples, secluded beaches, mighty rivers, remote forests... and only a handful of tourists. But the word is out - Cambodia has emerged from decades of war and isolation and is well and truly back on the Southeast Asian travel map. Most visitors head for the stunning Angkor ruins at Siem Reap, a collection of over one hundred temples dating back to the ninth century. The flat, sprawling capital of Phnom Penh is also an alluring attraction in its own right. Wide, sweeping streets and elegant, if neglected, French colonial-style buildings lend the city a romantic appeal. However, there's also evidence of great poverty, a reminder that you're visiting one of the world's poorest countries.
