Cambodia
By Tharum Bun Aug 01, 2004 12:00AM UTCAncient temples, empty beaches, mighty rivers, remote forests …and (outside Angkor) only a handful of tourists. But the word is out – Cambodia has emerged from decades of war and isolation and is well and truly back on the southeast Asian travel map.
The successor-state of the mighty Khmer Empire, which ruled much of what is now Vietnam, Laos and Thailand, Cambodia boasts a rich culture, a weathered French-era capital and impressive natural scenery. The peace is young but the country is slowly attracting the tourism currently sweeping Vietnam.
