The temples of Angkor Wat: a must on any bucket list!

The site is considered one of the greatest man-made wonders in the world. So what are the Angkor temples? And why are we this certain that they should it be on your bucket list? Take a read of the below to find out why….

Cambodia and Laos

Cambodia and Laos are a dynamic duo, at once laid back yet vibrant, unspoilt yet well connected, full of natural splendour whilst home to enchanting cities. Winding your way through the heart of Indochina, from the bulb of Cambodia, to the long thin spine of Laos, following its natural lifeline, the Mekong, is bound to be an adventure you will never forget. This is southeast Asia at its most intriguing.

Coastal Cambodia

The white sands and azure waters of the south coast of Cambodia are a world away from the hustle and bustle of their Thai neighbours. Kep was Cambodia’s first beach resort and still has a feel of its colonial past, whilst Sihanoukville is the more popular spot, it still retains a laid back atmosphere. For total seclusion and a slice of luxury, head to the eco-friendly private island of Song Saa.

Cambodia’s idyllic islands and shining white sands are slowly but surely becoming known to the world’s beach lovers. Kilometres of empty, white sandy beaches along this coastline make it one of the best. Sihanoukville is the best known and largest of the coastal towns but it is still remains a very peaceful place to relax for a few days. Lapped by the waters of the Gulf of Thailand, this is a great place for a spot of scuba diving, snorkelling or simply enjoying the laid back atmosphere.

Located on Cambodia's south coast, Kep is a charming fishing village with a rich history. Originally known as Kep-sur-Mer in the early 20th century, Kep was a weekend retreat for the wealthy French living in Phnom Penh. Sadly, the village was virtually destroyed by the Khmer Rouge and lay deserted for decades after the Pol Pot regime was overthrown. Kep is only just starting to build itself up again and is being slowly restored to its former colonial glory. Still, Kep remains charming and is great for a beach adventure experience in Cambodia.

The islands off the coast of Cambodia are a hidden gem for those seeking untouched island luxury. The Koh Rong archipelago is home to the exquisite Song Saa, a luxurious yet eco friendly jewel set in the turquoise seas. Remote, yet accessible, it offers the ideal tropical island retreat for those looking to get off the beaten track.
