History

Cambodia, often referred to as the "Kingdom of Wonder," is a breathtaking Southeast Asian country located between Thailand to the west and northwest, Laos to the northeast, and Vietnam to the east, with a pristine coastline along the Gulf of Thailand to the southwest. Cambodia is widely acclaimed for its rich history and culture, ranging from the ancient Angkor Wat, the world's largest religious monument, to its vibrant capital city, Phnom Penh, providing an appealing blend of royal palaces, archaeological museums, and bustling markets. Known for its timeless landscapes of sprawling rice fields, mystical temples, and serene beaches, Cambodia further enchants visitors with its compelling customs, delectable cuisine, and the unwavering kindness of its people.

Cambodia

Phnom Penh, the vibrant bustling capital of Cambodia, is located in the south-central region of the country and straddles the banks of the mighty Mekong River. Known for its rich history, it's a city that amalgamates French colonial architecture with major landmarks such as the opulent Royal Palace, Silver Pagoda and the National Museum - which houses comprehensive collections of Khmer artwork. This city is also remembered for its darker past marked by the reign of the Khmer Rouge, with the chilling reminders such as the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum and the Killing Fields. Amidst this history, Phnom Penh has evolved to feature a bustling, rapidly changing café scene, dynamic nightlife and a diverse food culture that draw the attention of global travelers.

I have been living in Phnom Penh for a year now and I have never felt as safe as this city. The people are so nice and always want to help you, the weather is good, the food is delicious and the culture so interesting

Iman

I felt quite safe in Phnom Phen, however I would say, keep track of your belongings. I know several people who got their phone stolen there. Either by a person passing by (on a motorbike) or even a tuk tuk driver. Besides that everything was fine. There is however not much to do and if you don't have too much time I would suggest skipping this town in favour of other places.
