The Top 10 Tourist Attractions In Cambodia That You Have To See

As it slowly recovers from the Khmer Rouge’s reign of terror, Cambodia is becoming a rising tourist destination. The stunning temples of Angkor are the obvious draw for most visitors, but the country has plenty more to offer including tropical beaches, colonial buildings, and an abundance of natural attractions. Here is a look at what to see in Cambodia.

Anglor Wat Temple

By far the top Cambodian tourist attraction, Angkor was the Khmer Empire’s capital city, which flourished between the 9th and the 15th centuries. Today, the city is in picturesque ruins, nestled amid forests and farmland near Siem Reap .

Over 1,000 temples are located here ranging in size from piles of rubble in the rice fields to the magnificent Angkor Wat , which rises over three tiers to a height of 669 feet and is the world’s largest single religious monument; it inspires and mesmerizes all who visit. Arrive before dawn to catch the sunrise over this magnificent structure. The entire architectural complex has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Stone Monkey Statue

2. Banteay Srei

Considered by many to be the jewel in the crown of Angkorian art, and sometimes known as the “Art gallery of Angkor”, Banteay Srei is a 10th century Hindu temple dedicated to Shiva. The temple is cut from stone of a pinkish hue and includes some of the finest stone carving anywhere on earth.

Begun in 967 CE, it is one of the smallest sites at Angkor, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in stature. It is wonderfully well preserved, and many of its carvings are three-dimensional.

Koh Ker Temple

Koh Ker is a remote archeological site in northern Cambodia about 75 miles away from the city of Siem Reap. It was one of the most significant settlements during the Khmer rule and briefly served as the capital of the Khmer Empire. Some magnificent monuments were constructed here. The predominant one being Prasat Thom, a superb pyramid that rises 98 feet into the air.

Unlike the temples of Angkor Wat, the temples of Koh Ker are dispersed within dense forests with little human population in and around the site. Many of the temples are hidden under dense overgrowth or are too dangerous to be accessed because of the presence of landmines in the area.

Irrawaddy Dolphin

Kratié is a quiet former French colonial market town in eastern Cambodia, standing on the banks of the Mekong River . Its marketplace is still at its core, surrounded by French colonial structures. The town is famous for being home to the Irrawaddy Dolphins . Increasingly an endangered species, these incredible creatures have lived here for centuries and have a symbiotic relationship with the local fishermen, helping them to trap fish. It is estimated that there are only about 80 dolphins left here.

5. Bokor Hill Station

In the early 1920s, the Bokor Hill Station, located on Bokor Mountain in the Preah Monivong National Park, was a popular luxury summer retreat for French colonists wishing to escape the oppressive heat of Phnom Penh . It was abandoned in the 1940s because of the Japanese invasion and again in the 1970s during Pol Pot’s violent Khmer Rouge Regime.

Nowadays, it is a ghost town but most of the buildings are still standing. It features several French colonial buildings including a royal residence, church, casino, and hotel. Its strategic importance is underlined by the fact that the Cambodian authorities still maintain a ranger station on the site.

Silver Pagoda

6. The Silver Pagoda

Known by the official name of Wat Ubosoth Ratanaram, the Silver Pagoda stands within the grounds of the Royal Palace in the heart of Phnom Penh. It takes its name from the 5000 silver tiles which cover its floor. It houses two of the most important statues of Buddha in the country, the 17th century crystal Buddha and a life-sized Maitreya Buddha, encrusted with 9584 diamonds.

The interior walls of the pagoda courtyard are decorated with a mural of the Ramayana myth which was painted by 40 Khmer artists in between 1903 and 1904. The Silver Pagoda currently serves not only as a tourist attraction, but its grounds are also being used for various royal and national ceremonies.

Tonle Sap Shores and Boats

7. Tonlé Sap

Tonlé Sap refers to a wetland area comprising the seasonally inundated freshwater lake of Tonlé Sap and the 75-mile-long Tonlé Sap River, both of which are part of the vast floodplain of the Mekong River. The lake has the distinction of making a dramatic transformation every year. In the dry season it has a maximum depth of just three feet and an area of around 1,000 square miles.

However, when the monsoon rains come it swells dramatically to a depth of 30 feet and a total area of 6,200 square miles. The Tonle Sap River changes the direction of its flow twice a year due to the seasonal effect of this sheer volume of water. The lake is home to floating villages, the Mekong giant catfish, which is one of the world’s largest freshwater fish, and a significant population of several reptile species including many species of freshwater snakes.

A large number of migratory birds visit the lake including the spot-billed pelican, the greater adjutant, Bengal florican, and the grey-headed fish eagle, among others. Due to its ecological significance, the region has been designated as a biodiversity hotspot and has been a UNESCO biosphere reserve since 1997.

8. Sihanoukville

Sihanoukville is a coastal Cambodian city and the country’s number one beach resort. An almost uninterrupted stretch of sweeping white sand beaches, crystal clear seas and coastal marshlands, with a unique biodiversity, have been the reason behind the transformation of this once-quiet fishing port into a major seaside resort in recent years. Many new hotels have been built as the area grows to keep up with the tourism demands. The Ou Trojak Jet is the only navigable river in Sihanoukville.

9. Preah Vihear

Of all the Khmer temples, this one, situated upon a 1722-foot-high cliff in the Dângrêk Mountains in the province of Preah Vihear, commands the best location. This beautiful temple offers the most spectacular view over the adjacent countryside. The Preah Vihear was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008.

10. Siem Reap

Siem Reap is the capital city of Cambodia’s Siem Reap Province and serves as the gateway to the Angkor Wat. The city also has attractions of its own including colonial and Chinese-style buildings; museums, including Angkor National Museum and the Cambodia Landmine Museum; cultural villages, traditional handicraft shops, silk farms, and more. The Apsara traditional dance performances, and Phare − the Cambodian Circus, are also popular attractions for tourists visiting Siem Reap.

Top Tourist Attractions And Things To Do In Cambodia

Cambodia is a country in Southeast Asia. It borders Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam and has a coastline along the Gulf of Thailand. Cambodia is known for its rich history and cultural heritage. It is home to the magnificent Angkor Wat, the largest religious monument in the world and a symbol of national pride. This masterpiece, a UNESCO World Heritage site, draws in travelers with its intricate carvings and stunning design, representing the pinnacle of Khmer architecture.

Cambodia’s tragic history, marked by the Khmer Rouge regime, is remembered through poignant sites like the Killing Fields and Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, offering a sobering glimpse into the country’s past. For nature enthusiasts, Cambodia’s landscape ranges from pristine beaches and islands along its coast to remote jungle areas like the Cardamom Mountains, offering diverse adventures. Cambodia has a compelling history, vibrant culture, and natural beauty, and it is a hidden region of Asia.

Best Time to Visit Cambodia:

• Dry Season (November to April) : This is the most popular time to visit Cambodia. The weather is typically dry and cool (by Cambodian standards), making it ideal for sightseeing and exploring the temples of Angkor. The peak tourist season is between November and February, when temperatures are most comfortable.
• Hot Season (March to May) : During these months, temperatures can soar, often exceeding 40°C (104°F). This can be a challenging time for outdoor activities, but it’s also less crowded. If you plan to visit during this period, it’s advisable to schedule outdoor activities for the early morning or late afternoon.
• Rainy Season (May to October) : The monsoon season brings heavy rains and high humidity, which can affect travel plans, especially in rural areas where roads may become impassable. However, the countryside is lush and green, and the rain usually comes in short, heavy bursts, so it’s still possible to enjoy sightseeing. This season also sees fewer tourists, which means lower prices and less crowded attractions.
• Cultural Events and Festivals : Cambodia hosts several festivals throughout the year, like the Khmer New Year in April or the Water Festival in November. Visiting during these times can provide a unique insight into the local culture, though some areas may be busier than usual.

10 Best Places to Visit in Cambodia

Travelers who are bored with the beaches of Thailand or the natural sights of Vietnam may be up for more ancient ruins viewing. In this case, Cambodia can satisfy these urges. While the larger cities are rapidly modernizing, a visit to the famous site of Angkor offers a chance to see temples unrivaled in scale and grandeur in southeast Asia.

Among the best places to visit in Cambodia are also some smaller towns and villages that provide a chance to experience a more traditional way of life, including treks into the jungle and to see even more fascinating ancient ruins.

10. Kep [SEE MAP]

Kep is a small sea-side resort that offers a variety of beach activities. Snorkelers can enjoy viewing the corals on the bottom of the shallow sea.

Kep was founded as a colonial retreat for the French elite in 1908 and the town is still full of ruined shells of old villas, destroyed in the Khmer Rouge days. Visitors can also take in panoramic ocean views at Kep National Park, visit a butterfly preserve or see how peppers are grown organically.

8. Battambang [SEE MAP]

Battambang is Cambodia’s second most populous city, and is especially popular with visitors interested in Cambodian history. Established as a trading center in the 18th century, Battambang later became part of French Indochina, with some colonial buildings still in existence.

The town has many Angkor-style temples and Buddhist shrines. It is easy to get around by foot or bicycle. Statues, mostly of animals and gods, can be found in most public places, the most famous of which is an ancient Khmer king that is located on the road to Phnom Penh. The Central Market also is worth a visit.

7. Kampot [SEE MAP]

Located on a river not too far from the Gulf of Thailand is more famous for its peppers than for tourists, though it is gaining more tourists all the time. Kampot’s black peppercorns are famous with gourmet cooks around the world because of their unique flavor.

Kampot is the gateway to Bokor National Park, famed for its abandoned French hill station, pleasant climate and lush primary rainforest. Kampot also offers visitors the opportunity to go boating and rafting on the river that winds through town, as well as take in scenic waterfalls along the route.

5. Sihanoukville [SEE MAP]

Named after a former king, Norodom Sihanouk, Sihanoukville is the most popular Cambodian beach resort on the Gulf of Thailand. Also known as Kompong Saom, Sihanoukville is where the United States fought its last battle in the Vietnam War.

This southern Cambodia city offers both sandy and rocky beaches. Though none of Sihanoukville’s beaches would qualify as southeast Asia’s finest it is one of best places to visit in Cambodia after visiting all the Khmer and other attractions in the rest of the country. The beaches are popular with a variety of travelers from backpackers who stay in huts on the beach to those who prefer the luxury of five-star hotels. Snorkeling is popular on some of the offshore islands.

If water activities are not your thing, you can always rent a motor bike and check out the jungles surrounding Sihanoukville. And if you have the time, take a ride to pretty and pristine Ream National Park, which is an easy day trip from Sihanoukville and home to more than 200 different bird species.

4. Siem Reap [SEE MAP]

Siem Reap (literally “Siam Defeated”) is undoubtedly Cambodia’s fastest growing city and serves as a small charming gateway town to the world famous destination of the Angkor temples. Thanks to those Cambodia attractions, Siem Reap has transformed itself into a major tourist hub.

Left to the jungle for nearly a millennium, Koh Ker was one of Cambodia’s most remote and inaccessible temple destinations. This has now changed thanks to recent de-mining and the opening of a new toll road.

2. Phnom Penh [SEE MAP]

Phnom Penh, the largest city is Cambodia, has been its capital since French colonial days. Once known as “the pearl of Asia,” Phnom Penh is considered one of the prettiest of the cities the French built in Indochina though the city is still recovering from war and revolution.

Top attractions include the Royal Palace, which is the residence of Cambodia’s royal family, and the Silver Pagoda, which is covered in 5,000 silver tiles and contains a life-size gold Buddha that is covered in diamonds. The night market or Phsar Reatrey is a good place to pick up handcrafted items and souvenirs.

Of course, there are also more somber sites in Phnom Penh that recount the horrors of the Khmer Rouge regime, including the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum and the infamous Killing Fields of Choeung Ek. There are 129 mass graves in the Killing Fields and its memorial stupa contains the skulls of more than 8,000 people who were murdered at this site.

These include the famous Angkor Wat temple, the world’s largest single religious monument, the Bayon temple at Angkor Thom with its multitude of massive stone faces and Ta Prohm , a Buddhist temple ruin entwined with towering trees. Many of the temples at Angkor have been restored, making the huge palace one of the wonders of the ancient world while offering an outstanding look of Khmer history.

During it’s long history Angkor went through many changes in religion converting between Hinduism to Buddhism several times. It has become a symbol of Cambodia, appearing on its national flag, and it is one of the prime tourist attractions in Southeast Asia.

The 10 Most Famous Places to Visit in Cambodia

Things to see in cambodia: top destinations in the “temple” country

1.1 angkor wat, 1.2 downtown siem reap, 2. phnom penh, 3. battambang, 5. mondulkiri, 6. ratanakiri, 8. sihanoukville, 9. tonle sap, 10. other destinations not to be missed.

What comes to your mind once you think of Cambodia? An ancient country with the marvellous temples of Angkor to enjoy, a mysterious destination from the movie "Lara Croft - Tomb Raider" (2001) to discover, a country with the painful period during Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge regime or a developing country with totally authentic and wild landscapes... Whichever appears, it absolutely touches the hearts of all travellers and inspires us to explore one of the most fascinating destinations in South-East Asia. In this article, we make a nice list of the best places to visit in Cambodia to consider for your trip

1. Siem Reap: dream of the Khmer Empire’s flourishing era

Siem Reap is definitely a place coming to the top of your mind when planning a trip to Cambodia. The province is a perfect combination of modern, Indochine and ancient Cambodian architecture. Let's find out what we can see in Siem Reap.

We cannot define the charm of this masterpiece of human beings. It fascinates everyone with the majestic buildings, known as the largest religious complex on the planet with extraordinary temples. This UNESCO World Heritage Site, also recognised as one of the Seven Wonders of the World, is undoubtedly a must-see place once you arrive in Cambodia. Founded in the 12th century as the capital of the Khmer Empire, Angkor Wat was abandoned for a long time amidst dense forests but thanks to the system of trenches wrapped around, it was protected from invasion by vines and trees. However, some temples are still engulfed by the giant trees, the most famous of which would have to be Ta Prohm, the one featured in the 2001 Lara Croft film.

When you visit Angkor Wat, don't miss the very beautiful temples here such as Ta Prohm, Angkor Thom, Beng Mealea, Ta Keo, Banteay Srei, Bayon, Preah Khan, Phnom Kulen, Pre Rup.

The town is attractive to everyone with its bright colours, very clean and well-organised streets. Only about 15km away from Angkor Wat, the breath of modern life makes the town an ideal place for relaxation after the long days among the archaeological relics. The city offers a nice Angkor Museum that helps you understand more about the Wonder of the World, an interesting night market, Angkor Minigolf activities, Cambodia's Landmine Museum, the Butterfly Centre and a variety of cafes, restaurants, hotels.

Being the capital of Cambodia, Phnom Penh is a testament to the country's modern urban life, and a testament to a life born out of history. Today the city shows the splendour of the country's most advanced city through the shops, restaurants, high quality services, lit river cruises and tall buildings. However, for those who visit the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum and the extermination camps, you still feel the sadness behind.

As Cambodia is a constitutional monarchy, Phnom Penh is the country's most important political centre and home to King Norodom's family. Once in Phnom Penh, don't miss the chance to visit the Royal Palace to learn about the history and royal rituals. It's also a way to put your feet in the living place of the nobility.

Other destinations in Phnom Penh that you can visit are the Silver Pagoda, National Museum, Koh Dach, Toul Tumpang Russian Market.

As an important centre during French colonisation, Battambang is the second most populated city in Cambodia. The city is full of French workshops that are as well preserved so far as the ancient temples such as Ek Phnom pagoda, Damrey Sor pagoda.

Besides the colonial ambience in the centre, you can also enjoy the local rural life in Battambang. Don't miss taking a ride on a 'bamboo train', a means of transport handmade by locals and used to transport goods in the past. Not far from the 'bamboo train station' is Phnom Sampov, known by the name Bat Cave or even Death Caves for its bloody history. 

Another special thing in Battambang that you cannot exclude is to enjoy a very interesting and typical Phare Circus show. Kayaking down the Stung Sangke River is also an extra-interesting experience for sports enthusiasts.

Kratie is a small town located on the banks of the Mekong River. It is a must-see place in Cambodia for adventurous souls who want a trip down this famous river in South-East Asia. Kratie is also a place to admire the rare Mekong orcelle, a species of freshwater dolphin. Now the population of this breed is only 66-86, and is listed in the Red Book.

Once you arrive in Kratie, beyond the boat ride to hunt for photos of the special water dolphins, you can take the ferry to Koh Trong Island, a lush oasis on the river where you'll have the chance to see Khmer piles amidst the verdant gardens. It is one of the most poetic and peaceful places to enjoy sunrise and sunset over the Mekong River in Cambodia.

Located in the east of Cambodia, on the border with Vietnam, Mondulkiri province is one of the least populated areas of the country. Still untouched by mass tourists, here you can enjoy a totally peaceful atmosphere with the unique beauty and life of wild animals. This is the home of the Bunong and Phnong ethnic minorities, so apart from the charm of nature, the country also attracts people who want to discover a new culture. 

The places not to miss in Mondulkiri are Bou Sra waterfall, Chrey Thom waterfall and Memang gold mine.

Ratanakiri is a province in the north-east of Cambodia and is an ideal destination for nature lovers. It is a nice escape from urban life, allowing you to experience the natural atmosphere and discover the lives of Cambodia's ethnic minorities. The downtown of this province is Banlung, where you will find hotels and homestays, so many tourists only know the name Banlung.

Once you arrive in the province, you will definitely see these places:

• Yeak Laom - The volcanic lake 
• The Virachey National Park
• The Wild Lumphat Sanctuary
• The Veal stone fields
• Waterfalls Ka Chanh, Ka Tieng, Cha Ong

Kampot is a nice province that offers you many possibilities to visit aspects of the country: national park, pagodas, beaches, countryside, centre with French architecture... Kampot is an ideal place if you want to spend time in a quiet province and experience real life in Cambodia.

If you go to Kampot, don't miss the chance to visit the pepper cultivation (Kampot pepper is highly prized in the world), Kep beach (known for its speciality - crab), Rabbit Island - Koh Tonsay, Bokor national park.

Sihanoukville is a rather important port province in Cambodia. It is an ideal place for those looking for a beach holiday amidst white tropical beaches. The most beautiful beaches on the coast are Otres, Sokha and Serendipity.

If you want to consider the most beautiful options for your relaxing days by the sea, the pretty islands opposite Sihanoukville are recommended for you: Koh Rong, Koh Rong Samloem, Song Saa, Koh Ta Kiev, Koh Sdach, Koh Russei, Koh Thmei.

Despite not really being a province, we also list Tonle Sap on the list of the top things to see in Cambodia. Extending to the north-west of the country, Tonle Sap Lake is the largest lake in Cambodia. There are many different types of floating villages on the lake: some on stilts and the others on boats. The lake is very important in the lives of the people living on the river, which provides an abundance of fish. The most beautiful villages on Tonle Sap Lake are Kompong Phluk, Kompong Khleang, Chong Kneas, Mechrey Kampong Luong.

The lake is also a place to admire a myriad of migratory birds, 200 species of fish, crocodiles, macaques. You can also make a stop at the Prek Toal Bird Sanctuary on your Tonle Sap Lake visit.

If you’re into Southeast Asian history, the national museum of Cambodia houses a huge collection of Khmer artifacts. This is home to a wide range of ceramics, sculptures, and ancient objects.

3. The Royal Palace – A Spectacular Gem for Architecture Seekers

It’s time to admire the glittering architecture shined through the golden peaking roofs of the royal palace. The site currently serves as a residential area of King Sihamoni. Therefore, several parts of the palace must be closed from public visitors. A trip into the royal palace is a chance for you to mesmerize at the throne hall, the surrounding buildings, and the Silver Pagoda nearby. Other than the extravagant appearance, you will be mesmerized at the greenish tropical gardens.

4. Phnom Kulen – A Windy Laid-back Vibe

The breezy Kulen Mountain is a top destination for those visiting Siem Reap for the first time. It is a proud national park of the country that serves another value as a sacred site. Phnom Kulen is a popular pilgrimage getaway for the local Cambodian during their big religious holidays. Apart from the hilltop temple, visitors can lay back at the two gigantic waterfalls or open their minds at the “River of Thousand Lingas” of Kbal Spean.

5. Cambodia Landmine Museum – A Different Look into Cambodian Tragic War

The museum is a brainchild of a famous landmine victim Aki Ra. It houses a wide collection of mines, weapons of all kinds, and mortars. The museum plays a role as a visual storyteller of the Cambodian war tragedy. A few steps away from the landmine museum takes you to the Butterfly Center.

6. Bokor – A Summer Retreat

Skipping Siem Reap on your Cambodia trip is a big mistake. This Cambodia capital welcomes millions of travelers a year as a stopover before visiting the Angkor Wat. Siem Reap is a big city, and it houses numerous museums, Chinese buildings, cultural villages, and colonial constructions.

Another selling point that attracts tourists to Siem Reap is the show of Apsara traditional dance. You can choose to stay at one of the top-rated resorts, hotels, and restaurants at any time during the year.

Beachgoers assemble! The one and only Sihanoukville is the most famous seaside in Cambodia. Viewing the vast Gulf of Thailand, Sihanoukville beholds the stretching coastline, marshlands, and great biodiversity within.

12 top tourist attractions & things to do in the cambodia.

Cambodia is gradually making its way back from the depths of the devastation caused by the Khmer Rouge’s rule. There are still significant challenges, including land mines, poverty, and severely damaged infrastructure. On the other hand, the process of healing and rehabilitation is already well underway, and a rising number of visitors are rediscovering Cambodia’s many appealing aspects.

The spectacular temples of Angkor are the obvious draw for most travelers, but the nation has much more to offer in the way of attractions, including tropical beaches, colonial structures, and an abundance of natural treasures. The following is a list of the Top-Rated Tourist Attractions & Places to Visit in Cambodia.

1. Angkor Wat

Angkor Wat (meaning “City Temple”) is the most majestic and biggest of the Angkor temples, as well as Cambodia’s most popular tourist destination. The temple’s balance, composition, and beauty make it one of the world’s best structures. It was built during the first half of the 12th century by King Suryavarman II. A vast rectangular reservoir surrounds Angkor Wat which climbs up via a series of three rectangular terraces to the central temple and tower at a height of 213 meters (669 feet). Its layout is based on the ancient Khmer concept of the temple mountain, in which the temple represents Mount Meru, the Hindu gods’ abode.

2. Phnom Penh

Phnom Penh, the capital city of Cambodia, is known for its royal palaces and ancient temples, both of which contribute to the city’s allure. This city, which is located at the confluence of three major rivers, the Tonle Sap, the Mekong, and the Bassac river, is now home to a variety of popular hangouts like cool cafes and bustling bars. It is considered to be one of the most popular tourist destinations in Cambodia.

This city is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Cambodia due to the presence of French colonial buildings that are interspersed with pagodas that are located along the highways. The National Museum has several one-of-a-kind Khmer antiques, and a trip to the Phsar Reatrey offers the opportunity to purchase locally created mementos.

Accommodation:  Where to Stay in Phnom Penh

3. Siem Reap

Siem Reap is often seen as one of the best places to visit in Cambodia because it is where Angkor Archaeological Park is. However, the town itself has more to offer than just the huge temples.

This is the country’s main activity hub, with a variety of activities available, ranging from cycling rides across the beautiful countryside just outside of town to Cambodian cuisine tours.

Shoppers will be kept busy as well since downtown Siem Reap is overflowing with opportunities to explore traditional crafts.

For a different experience, go to nearby traditional villages where you can stay in simple, friendly homestays and learn about how people live there. Siem Reap was hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused many businesses to close. However, real steps have been taken to “build back better” with new roads, gardens along the river, and bike lanes all over the city.

Accommodation:  Where to Stay in Siem Reap

4. Bayon Temple

The Bayon temple, which is located in the world-famous tourist attraction of Angkor, is known for its sea of over 200 massive s stone faces looking in all directions. An immediately identifiable picture of Angkor is that of the mysterious smiling faces, which many people believe to be a depiction of King Jayavarman VII himself or a mix of him and Buddha. The Bayon was constructed in the 12th century by King Jayavarman VII as part of a vast expansion of his capital city of Angkor Thom. It is located in the precise center of the royal city and dates back to the reign of King Jayavarman VII.

5. Koh Rong Samloem

Just off the south coast of Cambodia is a group of islands that are just as beautiful as those in Thailand to the west but are much less crowded.

Compared to Koh Samui and Phuket, which are now very developed, Cambodia’s islands are a slice of laid-back tropical bliss, where the sun and sand are the main attractions, and the big resorts haven’t made their mark yet.

One of the most gorgeous islands is Koh Rong Samloem. There are 12 beach hut resorts on the long, sandy Saracen Bay, which is a great place to get away from the rest of the world.

The main thing to do here is hanging out in a hammock, but those who want to be more active can go scuba diving.

Apart from being the home of black peppercorns, Kampot offers a beautiful riverbank promenade with a variety of colonial architecture. In addition, the charming riverbank village serves as a gateway to the French hill station of Bokor National Park, which boasts breathtaking vistas and a nice environment. Needless to say, it is also one of Cambodia’s most well-known and unique destinations.

See ancient ruins at the Kampot Kampong Trach caverns, take river rafting, and gaze at dazzling waterfalls in this picturesque setting.

Visit several temples in Koh Ker, which is located northeast of Siem Reap. Koh Ker is regarded as one of the top destinations in Cambodia. The temples of Koh Ker are a well-known Cambodian tourist attraction. The temple complex here is about 3 km long and comprises a few temples. It is regarded as one of the must-see attractions in Cambodia.

Begin with the sandstone Neang Khmao temple, which is built on a tiny hill and is fashioned like a stupa. The main complex of the Koh Ker Temple, the Pram Temple, the Chen Temple, the Preng Well, and the Kuk Temple are all worth seeing. According to local legend, if you put a coconut in the well of the Koh Ker temple, it will emerge in the pond near the Neang Khmao temple.

8. National Museum of Cambodia

The National Museum of Cambodia is one of the top museums in Phnom Penh and has one of the greatest Khmer sculpture collections. Whether you are a history buff or want to fully immerse yourself in the culture of this lovely Asian nation, these are the greatest sites to visit in Cambodia. One of the first things you’ll notice about the museum is a bronze reclining Vishnu figure. And when you go further into the museum, you may witness old Angkorian temples and objects of supreme cultural worth.

9. Banteay Srei

Banteay Srei is a religious site in Cambodia that is an important part of the country’s historical wealth. This historic site, one of the jewels of Angkorian workmanship, is constructed by cutting off the pink-toned stone. The walls of this shrine, which represents the “Citadel of Ladies,” are incredibly well carved, and it’s quite a sight to see when in Cambodia.

10. Phnom Kulen

Phnom Kulen, also known as Kulen Mountain, is located in the province of Siem Reap and makes for an excellent day excursion away from Angkor. On Khmer religious festivals, when offerings are deposited at the hilltop temple, the holy site serves as a national park, and it is very popular with Khmers during that time of year. In addition, there are two waterfalls in the vicinity that are perfect for swimming, picnic sites, and an archaeological site called Kbal Spean, which is where you can find The River of a Thousand Lingas.

Kratie is a small town on the banks of the Mekong River. It is known for its central market and the old French colonial buildings that surround it. There is little large-scale tourism, although lots of backpackers visit during the high season. It is where you can see the rare Irrawaddy dolphins, whose numbers in the Mekong River are getting smaller and smaller. There are probably between 66 and 86 dolphins left in the upper Mekong area of Cambodia.

12. Preah Vihear

The Preah Vihear province is famed for its tropical hardwood woods and verdant countryside, but the Prasat Preah Vihear complex is its major draw. Take a visit to the enormous Hindu temple complex located on the Dangrek Mountains’ cliff. See the magnificently carved stone decorations as well as the stairs, pavements, and sanctuaries at this temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, which is one of Cambodia’s most popular tourist destinations.

What is the best time to visit Cambodia?

The best time to visit Cambodia is during the dry season, which runs from November to April. During this time, the weather is sunny and dry, and the temperature is cooler, making it a pleasant time to explore the country’s many attractions. The peak tourist season in Cambodia is from December to February when the weather is at its best. However, this also means that there will be more crowds and higher prices for accommodations and activities.

If you’re looking to avoid the crowds, consider visiting Cambodia during the shoulder season, which is from May to October. Although it’s the rainy season, it doesn’t rain all the time, and the country is lush and green. Plus, there are fewer tourists, making it a more peaceful time to travel. However, note that some areas may be inaccessible due to flooding during this time.

Which are the best places to visit in Cambodia?

The best places to visit in Cambodia are Angkor Wat, Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, Battambang, Kampot, Koh Rong.

Is Cambodia safe for a solo trip?

Yes, Cambodia is a completely safe destination for tourists alone. No matter who you are, this country is a safe destination to visit.

Is Cambodia cheap?

Cambodia can be considered a relatively inexpensive country compared to many other destinations in Southeast Asia. The cost of living is generally lower than in Western countries, and travelers can find affordable accommodation, food, and transportation options.

What should I pack for Cambodia?

You should pack Lightweight clothing, Sunscreen, Comfortable footwear, Travel adapter, Medications,

What to See in Cambodia - Cambodia Major Attractions

Cambodia is located in the heart mainland of Southeast Asia, which conjures images of a glorious and mysterious past and rich of the cultural heritages, particularly the world's renowned ancient temple city whose magical image draws ever-increasingly tourists from all over the world.

The divergent facets of the Kingdom provoke both the serious and casual traveler, generally charmed and sometimes bewildered by its mysteries. Not only Angkor Wat, Bayon, Taprohm, Sandstone of ancient holy places, the giant roots of ancient trees, the graceful shapes of Apsaras and some temples buried in the jungle, hill tribes settled in the remote areas, colorful pagodas, strings of pristine islands and the century beach, as part of cultural tour that Cambodia is proud of her presentation, but also the splendor of the Khmer civilization and its people who have shown their friendliness everywhere you move in the country.

For most, Cambodia first conjures up the legendary Angkor (the magnificent Empire erected by Kings between the 9th and 13th centuries) that continues to admiration from Khmers and foreigners alike. The humanity and disaster of the nature have failed to compromise the awe of Angkor. The temples remain with an enigmatic grandeur, as a testimony to the Empire that symbolized the country at the present day.

They are the silent witnesses to the perennial cycles of life, which occur with each rainy season. The Kingdom emerges from its lethargy and springs back to life. Clouds, swollen with moisture, burst their monsoon rains to fill in the Tonle Sap (Great Lake ) that bring over thousands tones of fresh water fishes.

Every year, the country is transformed in a nature cycle, which is unique to Cambodia. The flow of the mighty Mekong River swells until it forces the Tonle Sap to reverse its course, pushing up stream from the ancient capital. Every year, the reversal of the river is celebrated with the country's most spectacular Water Festival in November.

15 Top-Rated Attractions & Things to Do in Phnom Penh

Written by Jess Lee Updated Dec 25, 2023 We may earn a commission from affiliate links ( )

Vibrant, bustling Phnom Penh is the heartbeat of Cambodia. This sprawling capital, spread out beside the banks of both the Tonlé Sap and Mekong Rivers, is a city of wide central boulevards and skinny back alleys, where modern and old collide.

The Royal Palace complex is the city's top attraction but for anyone interested in exploring Cambodia's 20th-century history, Phnom Penh is also a vital stop, for it is home to two of the country's most sobering places to visit.

The Killing Fields of Choeung Ek and Tuol Sleng Museum (the prison of S-21) both provide an insight into the reign of terror this nation suffered under Khmer Rouge rule.

Travelers heading out to Cambodia's premier tourist attraction of Angkor Wat also benefit hugely from a stop in the capital, as the wonderful National Museum of Angkor is here.

For more ideas on your sightseeing options, read our list of the top attractions and things to do in Phnom Penh.

The highlight of Phnom Penh is the beautiful Royal Palace - the seat and residence of Cambodia's royal family since the 1860s.

The spired-roof pavilions of the complex are an excellent example of classic Khmer architecture.

Both the Throne Hall area and the Silver Pagoda - set within manicured gardens - are open to the public for visiting. The Throne Hall was built in 1917, replacing an earlier wooden structure.

The Silver Pagoda is famed for being the home of the Emerald Buddha statue and a mammoth 90-kilogram Gold Buddha statue studded with thousands of diamonds.

The Silver Pagoda escaped the brutal destruction of the Khmer Rouge reign and so still contains some beautiful artifacts. The interior ceiling mural depicts the Cambodian epic poem, the Reamker , which is based on the story of the Indian Ramayana.

Address: Sothearos Boulevard, Phnom Penh

The traditional Khmer building that houses the national collection was built in 1920.

Inside, the dazzling array of ancient Khmer artistry, with more than 1,800 objects on display, is a must visit for anyone with an interest in Cambodian history.

The major highlights of the museum galleries are the Vishnu head excavated near the vast temple complex of Angkor Wat; the incredible Angkorian collection , with statues from the temples of Koh Ker and Angkor Thom; and the large exhibit of pre-Angkorian artifacts that trace Cambodia's Funan and Chenla periods.

Address: Street 13, Phnom Penh

Official site: www.cambodiamuseum.info

The Killing Fields of Choeung Ek are a somber reminder of the terror of the Khmer Rouge whose brutal regime, intending to turn Cambodia into a socialist agrarian society, ruled the country between 1975 and early 1979.

In under four years, it's estimated that between one and three million Cambodians were killed under Pol Pot's authoritarian command.

Many perished because of famine and disease, but also hundreds of thousands of Cambodians – intellectuals, educated people such as teachers and doctors, regime opponents, and simply anyone suspected of being an opponent – were murdered.

Here at Choeung Ek, it's estimated that 17,000 people met their death. The victims here came from S-21, the Khmer Rouge's high-security prison that is now Tuol Sleng Museum.

There are 129 mass graves here, 86 that have been excavated, exhuming the remains of 8,985 people. At the center of the area is a memorial stupa that contains more than 8,000 skulls.

A visit here is an entirely sobering experience that will aid in your understanding of this tumultuous period in Cambodia's modern history. Choeung Ek lies off Monireth Boulevard.

If you want to truly understand what happened here and the horrors of the Khmer Rouge regime, The Killing Field and Toul Sleng Genocide Museum (S21) Tour can help. During this tour, a driver will pick you up and drive you to the Choeung Ek Genocidal Center, 14 kilometers away south of Phnom Penh, where you'll spend two hours exploring the former orchard that became the site of the mass graves. You'll then head back to the city and the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, set inside the former high school turned high-security prison.

It was here, in the Khmer Rouge's Security Prison S-21 that some of the regime's worst torture atrocities were carried out. More than 17,000 people passed through these gates between 1975 and 1978, accused of betraying the revolution in some way.

Nearly all prisoners brought here were once themselves members of the Khmer Rouge who were turned on during one of the regime's many internal purges.

The visiting experience is made ever more visceral by the displayed photographic evidence hanging on the walls of the sparse cells next to empty beds. S-21 was exceedingly well-managed by Comrade Duch (the head of the prison) who made sure that extensive records were kept. As the prison was hastily abandoned when the Vietnamese took Phnom Penh in 1979, the detailed notes and photographs have survived.

Address: Street 113, Phnom Penh

Phnom Penh is a riverine town, and one of the most relaxing ways to go sightseeing in the city is to take to the water. There are regular sunset cruise tourist boat departures from the riverfront between 5pm and 7.30pm, which head along the Tonlé Sap and Mekong Rivers.

Alternatively, you can also hire a private boat nearby to head out on the water at any time of the day (you'll want to put your bargaining hat on though, if you'd like to hire a private boat).

This is a great way to get away from the bustling motorbike-clogged streets for an hour and soak up the gentler pace of local river life.

Address: Tourist Boat Dock, Sisowath Quay, Phnom Penh

Phnom Penh is decidedly flat. The only rise in the landscape here is the 27-meter-high hillock that is home to the temple of Wat Phnom.

The first religious building on this spot is thought to have been constructed in the 14th century and has been rebuilt several times, with the current main temple sanctuary dating from 1926.

This is one of the city's most important Buddhist temples and is often bustling with locals leaving offerings here and praying at the various shrines that surround the main sanctuary.

Address: Norodom Boulevard, Phnom Penh

The most important temple complex in Cambodia, Wat Ounalom is the headquarters of Buddhism in the country. A stupa within the complex contains one of the Buddha's eyebrow hairs.

The wat was first situated here in 1443 and although it suffered considerable damage during the Khmer Rouge era, with many of its statues and religious iconography destroyed, it is thriving again today.

Of particular note for visitors is a beautiful Buddha statue in the main building's third floor that has been reassembled after being smashed to pieces by the Khmer Rouge and a statue commemorating Huot Tat, the fourth patriarch, who was murdered by Pol Pot, on the 2nd Floor.

Phnom Penh's chaotic and lively Russian Market hums with local life, and produces some great shopping opportunities as well.

You'll find everything here from tacky souvenirs (much made in neighboring Thailand rather than locally produced) to beautifully-made local wooden handicrafts and Cambodian silks, along with bundles of stalls selling exceedingly cheap clothing.

This is not the place to come for some midday browsing, as temperatures skyrocket within the market, so aim for an early morning visit. The market opens for business at 6am.

This is also just the place to put your haggling hat on and try out your bargaining skills.

The market's real name is Psar Tuol Tom Pong , but earned its moniker due to the number of Russian foreign residents of Phnom Penh who used to shop here.

Address: Street 155, Phnom Penh

The distinctive domed building that holds the central Psar Thmei market was built in 1937 in Art Deco style and dominates Phnom Penh's central city. There are excellent opportunities for soaking up a slice of local life here with the market's huge array of local produce on display and plenty of hustle and bustle.

Everything is sold here, from fresh fruit and vegetables to jewelry and clothing, and the market is abuzz with energy from early in the morning to early evening.

It's a great place for an aimless wander, and keen photographers will find plenty of colorful scenes to capture.

Address: Street 126, Phnom Penh

The patch of grass that intersects Sihanouk and Norodom Boulevards is home to Phnom Penh's Independence Monument, built to celebrate Cambodia's independence from French colonial rule in 1953. The sandstone structure represents an Angkorian temple, intricately decorated with nagas (multi-headed snakes).

As well as commemorating the nation's independence, the monument is now also a memorial to Cambodia's war-dead.

Just a short stroll from the monument is the green stretch of Wat Botum Park where you'll find the Cambodia-Vietnam Friendship Monument , built in 1979 after Vietnamese forces had defeated the Khmer Rouge.

Address: Sihanouk Boulevard, Phnom Penh

Traditional Khmer classical dance originated in the royal courts and wasn't introduced to the general public until the mid-1900s.

Today, a number of theatrical performances can be seen in Broadway-like shows around Cambodia, where costumed dancers recreate epic poems and legends through elaborate moves.

If you're in Phnom Phen, a great way to see this first hand is to join the Experience Cambodian Living Arts, Dance Show tour.

The tour starts at the National Museum of Phnom Penh, where you'll be able to discover the gardens and see stunning examples of Khmer art and architecture. The tour then continues on to a dinner theater, where you'll experience dining while enjoying a Cambodian traditional dance and music performance on stage.

Sisowath Quay is Phnom Penh's most popular promenading spot and is always busy at sunset with walkers and joggers.

This riverside strip, rimmed with palm trees, stretches north for three kilometers from the Royal Palace. It's a great spot for watching and taking photographs of boats on the Tonle Sap River.

There are cafés, as well as street stalls selling food dotted along the route as well, so it's a popular spot for simply hanging out, particularly in the early evening.

A stroll here is easy to combine in a sightseeing itinerary between visits to the Royal Palace and Wat Phnom, just west of the quay's northern end.

Koh Dach and Koh Oknha Tei (both more commonly referred to as Silk Island by foreign visitors) are two Mekong River islands linked together by a bridge, sitting about 10 kilometers north of the central city.

The islands are known by their "Silk Island" moniker due to the large community of silk weavers who live on Koh Dach and Koh Oknha Tei. It's normal for visitors here to be invited into local workshops to watch weavers at work and look at the silk products they're selling.

Both islands make a good option for a day trip. There's not a huge amount to do here, but it's a tranquil rural break within easy reach of the big city. The easiest way to get around on the island if you want to explore them fully is to rent a cycle.

Ferries leave regularly to both Koh Dach and Koh Oknha Tei from three separate ferry stops on the river banks opposite the islands. Some tour boat operators in Phnom Penh also offer tours here.

In Oudong, 43 kilometers north from central Phnom Penh, the stupas and temples atop the hill of Phnom Preah Reach Throap are well worth a trip from town, particularly if you want to enjoy some excellent vistas from the hill top, across the surrounding countryside.

The large temple of Vihear Preah Ath Roes with its 20-meter-high Buddha is the hill top's main attraction.

Other temples and stupas here range in age from the 17th century to the modern era. Some of the buildings with the most interesting intricate facade decorations include the Ang Doung stupa built by King Norodom and the Mak Proum stupa built by King Monivong.

About 70 kilometers south of central Phnom Penh, the temple of Phnom Chisor sits on the 133-meter-high hilltop of Chisor mountain. The brick temple was built by the Angkorian Empire KIng Suryavarman I and is dedicated to the Hindu gods Vishnu and Shiva. It dates from the 11th century.

The staircases to get up to the temple are quite an effort if it's hot, but the sprawling views of the surrounding landscape below with its patchwork of lush green farming plots and rice fields between trees, are well worth it.

Most people hire a private driver or take a tour to come here, as there's no direct transport. Try to get here early to beat the heat.

We recommend these great-value hotels and guesthouses in Phnom Penh, near the top attractions in town:

• La Rose Suites : This luxury boutique hotel has a fantastic location and offers four-poster beds, beautiful pools, and complimentary massage.
• iRoHa Garden Hotel & Resort : With mid-range pricing, welcoming staff, a peaceful setting in the embassy district, and lovely pool, it's hard to beat this hotel.
• G Mekong Hotel : Affordable rates, helpful staff, comfortable rooms and a rooftop pool are some of the main attractions of this property.
• Angkor International Hotel : This centrally located budget hotel features large air-conditioned rooms with comfortable beds.

While other Southeast Asian countries experience slightly cooler seasons at some point of the year, Cambodia is hot all year long.

Because of this, the best time to visit Phnom Penh and Cambodia in general is during the dry season, which runs from November to January. While temperatures won't actually be much lower during these months, humidity drops considerably, making the weather more bearable.

This also means lots of people choose these months to visit, so prices go up and you are unlikely to find any discounts on airfares, hotels, or package tours.

If costs are an issue, consider arriving during the hot season, which runs from February until mid-May.

With temperatures in the high 30s and very high humidity, these aren't great months to tour the temples of Angkor Wat and nearby Siem Reap , but things are not as bad in the capital city - just make sure your hotel has a pool and organize your outdoor excursions for the early morning or the evenings.

Heavy southwest monsoon rains hit Phnom Penh from May to October, with the strongest storms happening in August and September.

In the city, this can mean flooding and lots of mosquitoes but also lots of beautiful thick greenery, dramatic electric storms, and a concert of geckos singing well into the night. This is the cheapest time of the year to visit and a great time to see the real Phnom Penh without masses of tourists around.

The Phnom Penh Airport is just 10 kilometers from the city center - a distance that could take anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes to cover, depending on your choice of transportation and how bad the infamous Cambodian traffic jams are that day.

For time efficiency, the best choice is the shuttle run by the Royal Railway Cambodia, which runs straight from the airport to the Phnom Penh Railway Station, right in the city center; the trip takes half an hour with no stops.

You can also catch public bus number 3 at the airport, which runs every 15 minutes and takes you all the way to the Night Market in the center of the city. The ride takes about an hour, and the bus makes about 20 stops, so you could always get off at a different place if it's more convenient to get to your hotel.

If the weather cooperates (and you don't arrive during a heavy downpour in the rainy season), a tuk-tuk might be your best option, as it will drop you off right at your hotel's door. Tuk-tuks are open taxis that charge flat rates - how much you'll pay for the ride to the city center depends on your negotiation skills, so be ready to discuss prices. There are always tuk-tuks parked just outside the arrival area of the airport waiting for passengers.

Buddhist Place of Worship

Angkor Wat is a Hindu temple complex in Cambodia and the largest religious monument in the world. The temple was built by the Khmer King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Yasodharapura, the capital of the Khmer Empire, as his state temple and eventual mausoleum. Breaking from the Shaivism tradition of previous kings, Angkor Wat was instead dedicated to Vishnu. As the best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious center since its foundation – Buddhist. The temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer architecture. It has become a symbol of Cambodia, appearing on its national flag, and it is the country's prime attraction for visitors. Angkor Wat combines two basic plans of Khmer temple architecture: the temple mountain and the later galleried temple, based on early Dravidian Architecture, with key features such as the Jagati. It is designed to represent Mount Meru, home of the devas in Hindu mythology: within a moat and an outer wall 3.6 kilometres long are three rectangular galleries, each raised above the next. At the centre of the temple stands a quincunx of towers. Unlike most Angkorian temples, Angkor Wat is oriented to the west; scholars are divided as to the significance of this. The temple is admired for the grandeur and harmony of the architecture, its extensive bas-reliefs, and for the numerous devatas adorning its walls.

Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum

The Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum is a museum in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia. The site is a former high school which was used as the notorious Security Prison 21 by the Khmer Rouge regime from its rise to power in 1975 to its fall in 1979. Tuol Sleng means "Hill of the Poisonous Trees" or "Strychnine Hill". Tuol Sleng was only one of at least 150 execution centers in the country, and as many as 20,000 prisoners there were killed.

Preah Vihear Temple

Preah Vihear Temple is an ancient Hindu temple built during the reign of Khmer Empire, that is situated atop a 525-metre cliff in the Dângrêk Mountains, in the Preah Vihear province, Cambodia. In 1962, following a lengthy dispute between Thailand and Cambodia over ownership, the International Court of Justice in The Hague awarded the temple to Cambodia. Affording a view for many kilometers across a plain, Prasat Preah Vihear has the most spectacular setting of all the temples built during the six-centuries-long Khmer Empire. As a key edifice of the empire's spiritual life, it was supported and modified by successive kings and so bears elements of several architectural styles. Preah Vihear is unusual among Khmer temples in being constructed along a long north-south axis, rather than having the conventional rectangular plan with orientation toward the east. The temple gives its name to Cambodia's Preah Vihear province, in which it is now located, as well as the Khao Phra Wihan National Park which borders it in Thailand's Sisaket province and through which the temple is most easily accessible. On July 7, 2008, Preah Vihear was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Banteay Srei

Hindu Place of Worship

Banteay Srei or Banteay Srey is a 10th century Cambodian temple dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva. Located in the area of Angkor in Cambodia. It lies near the hill of Phnom Dei, 25 km north-east of the main group of temples that once belonged to the medieval capitals of Yasodharapura and Angkor Thom. Banteay Srei is built largely of red sandstone, a medium that lends itself to the elaborate decorative wall carvings which are still observable today. The buildings themselves are miniature in scale, unusually so when measured by the standards of Angkorian construction. These factors have made the temple extremely popular with tourists, and have led to its being widely praised as a "precious gem", or the "jewel of Khmer art."

Royal Palace, Phnom Penh

Tourist attraction

The Royal Palace, in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, is a complex of buildings which serves as the royal residence of the king of Cambodia. Its full name in the Khmer language is Preah Barum Reachea Veang Chaktomuk Serei Mongkol. The Kings of Cambodia have occupied it since it was built in 1860's, with a period of absence when the country came into turmoil during and after the reign of the Khmer Rouge. The palace was constructed after King Norodom relocated the royal capital from Oudong to Phnom Penh in the mid-19th century. It was gradually built atop an old citadel called Banteay Kev. It faces towards the East and is situated at the Western bank of the cross division of the Tonle Sap River and the Mekong River called Chaktomuk.

Choeung Ek, the site of a former orchard and mass grave of victims of the Khmer Rouge - killed between 1975 and 1979 - about 17 km south of Phnom Penh, Cambodia, is the best-known of the sites known as The Killing Fields, where the Khmer Rouge regime executed over one million people between 1975 and 1979. Mass graves containing 8,895 bodies were discovered at Choeung Ek after the fall of the Khmer Rouge regime. Many of the dead were former political prisoners who were kept by the Khmer Rouge in their Tuol Sleng detention center. Today, Choeung Ek is a memorial, marked by a Buddhist stupa. The stupa has acrylic glass sides and is filled with more than 5,000 human skulls. Some of the lower levels are opened during the day so that the skulls can be seen directly. Many have been shattered or smashed in. Tourists are encouraged by the Cambodian government to visit Choeung Ek. Apart from the stupa, there are pits from which the bodies were exhumed. Human bones still litter the site. On May 3, 2005, the Municipality of Phnom Penh announced that they had entered into a 30-year agreement with JC Royal Co. to develop the memorial at Choeung Ek. As part of the agreement, they are not to disturb the remains still present in the field.

Wat Phnom is a Buddhist temple located in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. It was built in 1373, and stands 27 metres above the ground. It is the tallest religious structure in the city. The pagoda was given the name of Wat Preah Chedey Borapaut.

Silver Pagoda, Phnom Penh

The Silver Pagoda is located on the south side of the Royal Palace, Phnom Penh. Formerly, it was known as Wat Ubosoth Ratanaram. The temple's official name is Preah Vihear Preah Keo Morakot but is commonly referred to as Wat Preah Keo in Khmer. The vihara houses many national treasures such as gold and jeweled Buddha statues. Most notable is a small 17th century baccarat crystal Buddha and a life-sized gold Maitreya Buddha decorated with 9584 diamonds, the largest of which weighs 25 carats. It was created in the palace workshops during 1906 and 1907, the gold Buddha weighs in at 90kg and is dressed in royal regalia commissioned by King Sisowath. During King Norodom Sihanouk's pre-Khmer Rouge reign, the Silver Pagoda was inlaid with more than 5,000 silver tiles and some of its outer facade was remodelled with Italian marble. However only a small area of these tiles are available to be viewed by the public on entering the pagoda. It is a notable wat in Phnom Penh and the official temple of the King of Cambodia.

Preah Monivong National Park

Preah Monivong National Park is a national park in southern Cambodia. The main attraction of the park is Bokor Hill Station. The park is one of only two Cambodian ASEAN Heritage Parks. It is also known as Phnom Bokor National Park and Bokor National Park.

Botum Sakor National Park

Protected Site

Botum Sakor National Park is a national park of Cambodia. Situated on the coast of the Gulf of Thailand, Botum Sakor is a peninsula projecting southwest from the Cardamom Mountains. The National Park comprises 183,408 hectares of designated park land and spans three districts of Koh Kong Province: Kiri Sakor, Botum Sakor and Koh Kong. The park is under the administration of the Cambodian Ministry of Environment.

Independence Monument

The Independence Monument in Phnom Penh, capital of Cambodia, was built in 1958 for Cambodia's independence from France in 1953. It stands on the intersection of Norodom Boulevard and Sihanouk Boulevard in the centre of the city. It is in the form of a lotus-shaped stupa, of the style seen at the great Khmer temple at Angkor Wat and other Khmer historical sites. The Independence Monument was designed by the influential Cambodian modern architect Vann Molyvann. During national celebrations, The Independence Monument is the center of activity. A ceremonial flame on the interior pedestal is often lit by a royal or high official on these occasions, and floral tributes line the stairs. Every year, The Independence Monument is visited by foreigners and locals alike.

Top 5 tourist attractions in Cambodia

A neighbor country of Vietnam, Cambodia also has many things to see and explore. In this post Travel Sense Asia has listed Top 5 tourist attractions in Cambodia that you should not miss.

Angkor Complex was built in the early 12th century by King Suryavarman II. The whole area is about 400 km2 large, surrounded by deep and wide water canals. In the beginning Angkor was dedicated for Hinduism. After Buddhism became more popular in Cambodia, Angkor Wat turned into a Buddhist shrine.

The whole complex comprises more than 1000 temples with different structure and size. Three most important temples are Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom and Bayon Temple with various decorative reliefs. They are also the main tourist attractions in Cambodia.

Angkor Wat is the prime example of the classical style of Khmer architecture. Its towers, temples, reliefs and corridors are all made of sandstone blocks. The walls are decorated with sculpture of Buddhas, warriors, dancers and Ramayana and Mahabharata epic’s illustrations.

The complex is designed to represent Meru Mount in Indian. The highest tower is up to 65m high, 5 towers around represents 5 mountain peaks. All towers were built from sandstone and laterite without using any  glue material. Angkor complex is a must-place to visit when you travel to Cambodia .

The lake can feed up to 3 millions people and provide 75% of freshwater fisheries production and 60% of protein for Cambodia.

Tonle Sap stretchs over 5 provinces in Cambodia. It is also home to a big community of Cambodian fishermen who have Vietnamese origin. They live in floating villages on boats by the lake. In the last century Tonle Sap has so much fishes that you can catch the fish even with your hand. People can throw the net several times then their boat is full of fish.
