Busy Market Street in Siem Reap, Cambodia

Today's travel photo is of a busy street at Tsar Chaa (the central market) in Siem Reap, Cambodia. I absolutely love visiting local markets when I travel, particularly in Asia, so as soon as I got to Siem Reap, one of the first things I did was take a walk to it's central market - [...]

Backpacker’s Travel Guide to Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Phnom Penh is the capital city of Cambodia and was our first stop when we visited the country. Compared to the rest of Cambodia, Phnom Penh is a hot and steamy, bustling city that is full of life. Walking down its busy streets full of motorbikes and tuk tuks, you'll come across friendly people, tasty [...]

The Amazing Carvings of Banteay Srei in Angkor, Cambodia

Our second day of exploring the Temples of Angkor in Cambodia led us to the distant but popular temple of Banteay Srei. It is a small temple, its buildings looking miniature compared to the other grand structures in Angkor, but what makes it so popular is its intricate wall carvings. Banteay Srei is a 10th [...]

Tips for Visiting the Temples of Angkor in Cambodia

I have to be honest. I was a little overwhelmed when it came time to visit the Temples of Angkor in Cambodia. It's a place that I've always wanted to visit, and I can't imagine that there are many people who don't at least want to visit Angkor Wat. It's a very popular tourist spot, [...]

The Roluos Group of Temples in Angkor, Cambodia

When we finally made it to Siem Reap to visit the Temples of Angkor in Cambodia, I had no idea where to start. Should we do what most people do and just head straight to Angkor Wat? Should we visit Ta Phrom, Banteay Srei or some of the lesser visited temples first? I spent a [...]

Crowded Tuk Tuk in Battambang, Cambodia

Today's travel photo is of a very crowded Tuk Tuk in Battambang, Cambodia. I took this photo while exploring the streets of the city to view its interesting old French Colonial Buildings.

Stuck Indoors in Sihanoukville, Cambodia

When the weather turns bad while travelling to a beach destination, all you can do is cross your fingers and hope that the sun comes out. That's pretty much how we spent our time in Sihanoukville, Cambodia. I'm well aware of the risks taken when travelling to Southeast Asia in the off season. The fact [...]

Fishing on the Mekong at Sunset in Kratie, Cambodia

Today's travel photo is of some locals fishing on the Mekong River at sunset in Kratie, Cambodia. The town of Kratie was one of my favourite places in Cambodia, and it was a great way to end our stay in the country before we made our way into Laos. The main draw to the town [...]

Riding Through a Storm in Kampot, Cambodia

The weather had turned bad as soon as we left Phnom Penh, but it was only really drizzle and the odd shower to start off with, and when we arrived in Kampot, it wasn't enough to bother us. The rain was never heavy enough to stop us from going out and looking around town, and [...]
