- Welcome to Cambodia -
Angkor Wat
A mixture
of Asian exotica, the famous Cambodian
hospitality awaits the visitors to the
capital of the Kingdom of Cambodia. Situated
at the confluence of three great rivers the
"four arms" of the Mekong, Tonle Sap and
Bassac forming the "four arms" right in
front of the Royal Palace Phnom Penh is the
commercial, political and cultural hubs of
the Kingdom and is home to over one million
of the country's estimated 11.4 million
people. It is also the gateway to an exotic
land….the world heritage site, the largest
religious complex in the world, the temples
of Angkor in the west, the beaches of the
southern coast and the ethnic minorities of
the northeastern provinces.
The city
offers several cultural and historical attractions including
the Royal Palace, Silver Pagoda and the National Museum.
There are also a wide variety of services including five
star hotels and budget guest houses, fine international
dining, sidewalk noodle shops, neighborhood pubs
international discos and more.
Phnom Penh,
like other Asian-City tourist destinations, is in the midst
of rapid change. Over the past few years the number of
restaurants and hotels have grown considerably and in the
last year there had been a huge increase in the number of
visitors. There are now direct daily flights from several
Asian cities and three overland border crossing have opened
since 1998. Even travel within the country is easier with
several airlines flying domestic routes, regular bus service
to major cities like Sihanouk ville and Kampong Cham and
road conditions throughout the country have been gradually
improving. Cambodia is becoming easier to visit everyday.
