Siem Reap 
cambodia
Cambodia is home to Angkor, one of the great sights of the world. Seeing the temples at dawn, then exploring the tree-wrapped ruins of Ta Prohm, is one of travel’s great moments.
Phnom Penh has riverside charm, a thriving food scene and important history. Battambang is known for its countryside and circus, and the southern islands are some of the quietest in Southeast Asia.
It works well on its own or combined with Vietnam, Laos or Thailand.
