Tucked between Thailand and Vietnam, Cambodia is often left off the typical Southeast Asia itinerary—but it really shouldn’t be. Most travelers head straight for the sunrise at Angkor Wat (which is 100% worth it), but there’s so much more to explore—like the stunning beaches in Koh Kong or the floating villages along the Mekong.
Cambodia also has a heartbreaking history that’s important to understand. A visit to the Killing Fields in Phnom Penh isn’t easy, but I truly believe it’s something every traveler should experience before diving into the rest of their trip.
