The last few years more and more people want to visit Cambodia apart from just Thailand, Indonesia or Vietnam.
As I have been living here for quite a while now and intending to do so for a whole lot longer, I figured out I could maybe help travelers or future visitors of this beautiful country with this short blog post.
Visit Angkor Wat in Siem Reap
Angkor Wat is one of the seven natural world wonders and it's actually the largest religious monument in the world.
Visit The Killing Fields and the War Musueum in Phnom Penh
The Cambodian Killing Fields are burial sites where more than a million Cambodian bodies were buried during the Khmer Rouge.
Visit Ton Le Sap Lake
The Ton Le Sap Lake contains floating villages, markets and mangroves which are naturally beautiful and a true must-see.
Ride a Bamboo Train in Battambong
Lonely Planet describes it as “Cambodia’s bamboo train”. Originally conceived as a logistical fix during the United Nations Transitional Authority of Cambodia period, the original “bamboo train” was a lorry system that operated on Cambodia’s rarely used northern rail line.
Try new kinds of food
And I mean all kinds! From fresh seafood to the nicest Khmer Fish Amok or Beef Lok Lak, you will find hundreds of boutique restaurants, street food outlets and food stalls.
I bet most Steemit users haven't eaten water snake, snails, tarantulas and scorpions before ;) Bottom line is easy: if you're a foodie, Cambodian food is as good, or even better than Thai cuisine.
So, these are my top tips I can give visitors and travelers coming to Cambodia. The killing fields and Angkor Wat are an absolute must and then you can choose to maybe visit the beautiful Island of Koh Rong, ride a bamboo train in Battambong, visit the pepper farms in kampot, depending on how long you decide to stay.
Seems like a cool place. But how are they toward expats? Are they friendly toward westerners? What's the cost of living like? Maybe those are some good ideas for posts, as I would read them!
Hi Journeyofanomad, Thanks for the reply and feedback. They are very friendly to expats and westerners (compared to Vietnam, Laos and Thailand from my own experience). The cost of living is very low. $1 - $3 breakfast, lunch and dinner meals, $50 - $80 a month rents a simple place to live, draft beer $0,50 each, transportation next to nothing. I will make some posts about it in the future.
Sure please do! Also, availability of high speed internet? How about the english language? Is it easy to communicate over there?
There is good, high speed internet in most cities and towns nowadays. Most speak basic English but in the country side and rural areas it can be difficult to communicate sometimes. As long as you do it with a smile, they will try the best they can do to help you :)
You have a good travel brochure here - it looks like a lovely place to visit.
