Cambodia - exotic vacation
Cambodia is an exotic and distant country on the Indochina Peninsula. Despite the long journey, tourists should spend their holidays here.
1. Excursions
Angkor Wat is the pearl of the country, and the main thing that travelers aspire to Cambodia is, undoubtedly, the Angkor Wat temple complex, one of the wonders of the world, built in the 12th century.
The best option for visiting Angkor is to hire a tuk-tuk (motorcycle with a cart), negotiate with a driver who will take you from one structure to another, and wait until you enjoy the excursion to your fullest, because the total area of the complex is 200 hectares.
Siem Reap is a staging post for tourists wishing to get to Angkor. Thanks to the inexhaustible flow of travelers, the city is convenient for its developed infrastructure, the presence of a large number of hotels and restaurants for every budget.
Battambang is a small village of only three streets, notable for the mountain on which rises Phnom Sampeau, a Khmer temple. As tourists leisurely climb to the top of the numerous steps, where the roof of the palace shimmers in gold, they come across statues of Buddha on the way, and on the ascent to the top of the mountain - a bonus in the form of a striking view of the jungle surrounding Battambang.
Phnom Penh is the capital of Cambodia. This city will amaze you with its contrasts - the shining avenues around the corner turn into dirty and meager streets, and the luxury of the Royal Palace with shining Buddhas adjoins the shacks.
In Phnom Penh, you will see many beautiful pagodas and Buddhist temples - they will be everywhere, wherever you turn your head.
2. Getting around Cambodia
In Cambodia, public transport is poorly developed. There is no extensive network of electric trains or regular buses throughout the country. But most of the locals have mopeds, motorbikes, cycle rickshaws and rickshaws. You can rent this transport together with a driver at any time, and this is the cheapest and most convenient form of transport for tourists.

4. Cambodian cuisine
Food in Cambodia requires a special description - after all, almost everything that is in wildlife is eaten here. Snakes and caterpillars, crocodiles, as well as beetles and locusts - all this the Khmers eat with pleasure, and serve for tourists in restaurants. For those who do not dare to try such unusual dishes, there is also a completely European food, adapted for tourists who are not used to the abundance of hot peppers and spices. Rice is the staple and traditional food of the locals, and it is present on the menu of all catering establishments in Cambodia. Also seafood, sea fish and shellfish, crabs and rays, the freshest and freshly caught will be prepared for you immediately.
