Cambodia

We spent a few days in Sihanoukville last week and truly felt like we were on vacation! The main reason for this was our excellent hotel, the Beach Club Resort.

We arrived in Cambodia last weekend and spent our first few days in the town of Battambang, where we learned that coconuts are everywhere!

As we are leaving South East Asia, we are thinking of all the things we’ll miss – one of them being the daily alms giving ceremony that we witnessed in many places.

After 6 months, we finally found a tropical island in South East Asia that boasts the serene,white-sand beaches we have been dreaming about on Koh Rong, Cambodia – but we had to work to get there!

After over six months in South East Asia, we finally made it to Angkor Wat last week. Find out what impressed us the most here at the world’s biggest religious site.

Floating basketball courts, hospitals, and supermarkets…The floating villages on Cambodia’s Lake Tonle Sap might have the comforts of home, but they are unlike any place we’ve ever lived….

How bizarre was it to bargain for the price of a tuk tuk ride, when the driver was about to take us out to visit the Killing Fields, the genocide museum which explicitly tells the story of the reign of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge from 1975-1979. The entire day we choked back tears and learned about Cambodia’s history.

This year has been a total beach for the two of us. Having spent over five months on the coast around the world, we share our top five beaches of the year in this post.

This guide brings you our recommendations for Kampot – where to stay, where to eat, what to see and what to do in this charming colonial riverside town in Cambodia.

We go to the local markets in every country we visit – it is such a great way to find out more about a country’s culture! Join us for a visual tour of Cambodia’s markets!
