Cambodia is a popular stop along the Southeast Asia backpacking route, and home to a large ex-pat community. The biggest tourist highlight of the country is the awe-inspiring ancient temples of Angkor Wat, located just outside of Siem Reap.

Angkor Wat is the largest religious monument in the world and is considered one of the Ancient Seven Wonders of The World. Watching the sunrise over the temples is a bucket list moment in itself!

Other popular spots for travelers are the towns of Kep and Kampot, situated in southern Cambodia. Kampot sits on the coast and is split by a river, so grab a kayak and explore! And Kep is a lively (sometimes rowdy) seaside town that was once an old colonial beach resort.
