A visit to Cambodia promises a rollercoaster of emotions and experiences. Once the most prominent empire in Southeast Asia, Cambodia became known for one of the most infamous and brutal political regimes of modern times . Under the Pol Pot regime (1975–79) an estimated 1.7 million people died due to slave labor, malnutrition, poor medical care and executions.
Today Cambodia is one of the safest and most welcoming countries in the world. Owing to its proximity and accessibility to Vietnam , even a short journey to Cambodia is easy to arrange allowing travellers to enjoy the highlights of this endearing land in as few as four days.
