Places to Visit in Cambodia

Cambodia Attractions are the lot to mention. Cambodia is a Southern East Asia country whose land spans low lying plains, the Mekong Delta, mountains and Gulf of Thailand coastline. Phnom Penh, its capital, is home to the art deco Central Market, glittering Royal Palace and the National Museum’s historical and archaeological exhibits.
Cambodia is one of the all-time favorite destinations for travelers. Cambodia is most people you meet are still affected by this on a daily basis. Development hasn’t been great since, as corrupt officials have hindered growth by selling off most of the country to investors.

Places to visit in Cambodia

Angkor Wat

A must visit the place and you will gain a lot of knowledge from here. There is a great view, historical place. There are so many temples and places are there in my Cambodia Attractions list. Especially Angkor Wat temple, it’s big and wonderful temples in my heart. There’s a lot of intricate artwork on the walls throughout the temple depicting stories. Definitely worth to take two or even three days for walks, but a better idea is to rent a bicycle. Watch out for big buses full of tourists. Sometimes you will have to wait long, and take a lot of patience to take a good picture, but this is mostly around Angkor Wat.

Bayon Temple

This is one of the must-visit sites in my Cambodia Attractions which is situated in Sein Reap. Best time to see is in the afternoon when a number of travelers are lesser allowing unchecked access which hints to the better fun. It’s a nice place for photography. This temple is fairly different from the other temple, with the four faces of Buddha’s. Fairly a bit of hiking but the final views are great and the architecture works are stunning. It is so peaceful with ancient architect between the natures with man-made Cambodia Attractions.

Ta Prohm

The trees here are so unique, the root especially. The walking path is shady compares to Angkor Temple (main temple). It is also in my Cambodia Attractions, If you are visiting the area this temple is a must see. This is one of several smaller temple sites in close proximity to Angkor Wat, which should be included in your temple tours. This temple has maintained by a more rural state, you will gain wisdom of how the site looked when exposed by archaeologists.

Choeung Ek Genocidal Center

The Choeung Ek Genocidal Center Is one of the interesting tourist spots in Cambodia. Cambodia has suffered and is rebuilding. The memorial is an eight-story, high reserve for the ruins of thousands of public who lost their lives in the Pol Pot regime. The lands are well-maintained as there are many human leftovers and ruin quietly noticeable. If you are interested in history and you want to learn more about the country and all they have been through, this place is a must in Cambodia Attractions list.

Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum

This Museum represents and shows the horror and atrocities endured and uncounted during the Pol Pot system in Cambodia. The previous school revolved into prison and pain chamber still stands as an evidence of the violence of that time. This is a terrible place in Cambodia Attractions that did trouble your mind if you imagine and is a must-see for anybody wanting to know about the bad years 1975-1979. In combination with the Killing Fields should be mandatory when visiting Phnom Penh.

Banteay Srei

This temple is smaller than others in the area it makes up with beauty, Banteay Srei or the lady temple is a tuk-tuk drive away from the Angkor Wat temple but is well worth a visit, most of the details in the stone are still intact and the color of the stone is stunning and this is also more important place to visit Cambodia Attractions list, if you have time to and visit and as usual go early to try to avoid crowds. The visit completes the tour through the Angkor district. Its’ a beautiful landscape around and please give a donation to the musicians (victims of landmines).

Otres Beach

The other Cambodia Attractions worth mention is Otres Beach; This is a Perfect spot to unwind. There are many quiet spots on the beach which are frequented by both locals and tourists. The water is clean, both locals and tourists are enjoying the ocean. There are many places is there to eat and drink, but of course, they are pricey here. Otres beach is good to cool down and for swimming; the main beach is lined with bars and restaurants and a good place to relax while on holidays. There is an option to join in beach yoga and catch the sunset. For snorkeling, you have to take a trip to the islands.

Angkor National Museum

This is a brilliant museum in Cambodia. It is so well set out and organized that you can’t miss anything and the exhibits are fascinating. In every area there is an interesting video to watch-shame about the annoying Disneyesque voiceover-that helps you understand the history and background of the displays. The cafe is a nice place to stop for a drink and the shop has some beautiful items. It’s a great exhibition and well presented, there are language options to select in the different presentation halls.
