CAMBODIA
The culture
Cambodia will win your heart with its beautiful, ancient temples, friendly residents, and creative spirit. Cambodia is a fantastic complement to Laos, Vietnam, and Thailand and offers more than just temples.
In contrast to many other Buddhist nations in the region, the Khmer culture is relatively open. There is no shortage of the traditional Khmer and Buddhist ideals. The Khmer people are friendly, open, and very respectful of their ancestors. It is common to see ceremonies in daily life, particularly in rural areas where the old practices are still practiced. Over the past 20 years, there has been a huge shift in the population of the largest cities. In contemporary Cambodia, modern culture and customs are frequently entwined.
Best time to travel
The dry season normally lasts from November to March, when temperatures drop as a result of the northern winter. The rains that follow the Khmer New Year, or "Choul Chnam Thmey," which is scheduled between March to April (moon dependent), signifies the wet season. Although this season is technically categorized as "wet," locals now refer to it as "Green Season" because the rains restore the luster and texture to the enchanted forests that surround the temples, making it a photographer's and traveler's dream from April to October.

HOW TO GET THERE
The best global hubs are Bangkok, Hong Kong, or Singapore. Regionally, it is also doable but takes longer to get to Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and Kuala Lumpur. Frequent flights leave from China. Travel via land is common. Overland crossings at Pailin, Poipet, Veun Kham, and Bavet are frequent. Another excellent choice is to get to Phnom Penh by boat through the Mekong Delta through Chau Doc.

WHERE TO SLEEP
Cambodia is home to some great accommodation options for all types of travellers. There are also several remarkable luxury resorts in the country's jungles and on its islands. There are excellent mid-range hotels everywhere, and they all have excellent amenities and knowledgeable employees. To add some variety, take a look at local homestays, lodges, and camps as well.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Travelers frequently choose Cambodia as one of the "most welcoming locations" in South East Asia. Families traveling together will find surprising activities for all. The knowledgeable guides and drivers greatly enhance all tours and traveling off the beaten path is worthwhile. The best combination of culture, nature, adventure, and relaxation can be found there.

WHAT TO EAT
Cambodian cuisine is a fusion of Thai and Vietnamese flavors with a distinctively local flavor. The Tonle Sap Lake is the center of the Cambodian economy. Popular dishes include fish and rice, and sour soup is frequently served. Fresh spring rolls, a sour soup with fish, chicken with ginger, and a sweet desert are all staples of a nice home-cooked Khmer meal.
