Top 5 Things to do in Cambodia

The last few years more and more people want to visit Cambodia apart from just Thailand, Indonesia or Vietnam.

As I have been living here for quite a while now and intending to do so for a whole lot longer, I figured out I could maybe help travelers or future visitors of this beautiful country with this short blog post.

Visit Angkor Wat in Siem Reap

Angkor Wat is one of the seven natural world wonders and it's actually the largest religious monument in the world.

Visit The Killing Fields and the War Musueum in Phnom Penh

The Cambodian Killing Fields are burial sites where more than a million Cambodian bodies were buried during the Khmer Rouge.

Visit Ton Le Sap Lake

The Ton Le Sap Lake contains floating villages, markets and mangroves which are naturally beautiful and a true must-see.

Ride a Bamboo Train in Battambong

Lonely Planet describes it as “Cambodia’s bamboo train”. Originally conceived as a logistical fix during the United Nations Transitional Authority of Cambodia period, the original “bamboo train” was a lorry system that operated on Cambodia’s rarely used northern rail line.

Try new kinds of food

And I mean all kinds! From fresh seafood to the nicest Khmer Fish Amok or Beef Lok Lak, you will find hundreds of boutique restaurants, street food outlets and food stalls.

I bet most Steemit users haven't eaten water snake, snails, tarantulas and scorpions before ;) Bottom line is easy: if you're a foodie, Cambodian food is as good, or even better than Thai cuisine.

So, these are my top tips I can give visitors and travelers coming to Cambodia. The killing fields and Angkor Wat are an absolute must and then you can choose to maybe visit the beautiful Island of Koh Rong, ride a bamboo train in Battambong, visit the pepper farms in kampot, depending on how long you decide to stay.
