A Week in Cambodia

Route: Kampot ➡️ Phnom Penh ➡️ Siem Reap ➡️ Battambang During my trip to Cambodia, I was deeply touched by the friendliness, simplicity, and warmth of the Cambodian people. Compared to the "Land of Smiles" 🌞 of Thailand, Cambodian friendliness is more reserved and shy. In the streets and alleys of Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, you can see many simple but sincere smiles, far from the enthusiasm of commercialization, giving people a particularly warm feeling. 🏝 Kampot Kampot is a charming town with typical French colonial architecture and a laid-back atmosphere. You can enjoy fresh seafood here, and Kampot pepper is especially famous!🌶️ Tip: Visit a Kampot Pepper Plantation to learn about the process of growing and harvesting pepper. 🏙 Phnom Penh As the capital of Cambodia, Phnom Penh is a blend of history and modernity. You can visit the Royal Palace and the Independence Monument, as well as museums that reflect the country's history. Tip: Be sure to visit Central Market to buy some local handicrafts and souvenirs. Extra tip: Don't forget to try the street food! Especially the fried scorpions and fried insects 🦗, challenge your taste buds! 🏛 Siem Reap This city is the gateway to Angkor Wat, one of the Seven Wonders of the World and a truly amazing place. Standing in front of these ancient ruins, you will feel the passage of time and the weight of history. Tip: Get up early to watch the sunrise 🌅 at Angkor Wat, and remember to buy a three-day pass so you can take your time and enjoy the temples. Special recommendation: Don't miss Ta Prohm, where the intertwined roots and architecture create a surreal scene. 🚶‍♂️ Battambang Battambang is a small and quiet city full of traditional Cambodian charm. You can experience the bamboo train 🚂 here, a unique mode of transportation suitable for adventurous travelers! Tip: Watch the sunset at the mountaintop temple of Phnom Sampeau. Remember to wear comfortable shoes. Overall, Cambodia is a place full of warmth and sincerity. Although its service may seem more reserved compared to Thailand, it is this unassuming friendliness that makes the journey more enjoyable and peaceful.😊 I hope you find your own wonderful memories during your trip to Cambodia!✈️
