    Cambodia Travel Guide - Start your planning here!

    The ruins of Angkor Wat near Siem Reap are a perfect long weekend getaway if you're based in South East Asia (Bangkok, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia). The temples of Angkor are easily explored in 2 to 3 days, unless you're a temple historian! This even includes some time for a spa treatment and a visit to Tonle Sap (1/2 day trip)!
