Angkor Wat, Siem Reap
Our two trips to Cambodia could not have been more different from each other: in July 2008, we crossed the border from Laos on foot and checked out mainly Phnom Penh and of course Siem Reap, where we spent one week exploring many Angkor Temples. We finally crossed the Tonlé Sap to Battambang before heading overland to Thailand. In December 2014, we again spent one week in Siem Reap to see the most famous and the more remote temples of Angkor. We then made a 10 day loop through Northwest Cambodia, where we were mostly the only tourists. We headed then to Phnom Penh, and finally Kampot & Kep on the Coast before heading to Vietnam.

Beautiful photos! You make me want to get back to Cambodia more than ever.

Thanks, Stephen.
Yes, Cambodia is beautiful
And if you go a bit further afield, you will find wonderful places void of tourists (of course also the most popular parts are amazing, but you won’t be alone there).
Cambodia changed a lot between 2008 and 2014. A good reason to go back 😉
Cheers, Gilles
