Traditional Khmer dress goes back many centuries; little has changed. Prior to the Khmer Empire the style of clothing showed major Indian influence but gradually things changed. Fashion has come and gone but often tradition has been revived and today Cambodian clothing is both colourful and traditional. A good Cambodia travel agency will introduce visitors to the local costumes.
Year by year, the number of tourists booking Cambodia travel packages is increasing but paying a visit to this fascinating country with its highlights such as Angkor is different from actually living in Cambodia and different again from working in Cambodia where it is necessary to comply with residency and working regulations.
Cycling through Cambodia offers a distinctive perspective of this Southeast Asian gem. As I pedaled from the bustling capital of Phnom Penh to the awe-inspiring ruins of Angkor, the sense of adventure was palpable. This section delves deeper into what makes cycling here a remarkable fusion of cultural immersion and physical activity.
Anyone that has ventured beyond Angkor Wat will know there is far more to Cambodia than just its temples, spectacular as they may be. Cycling through remote countryside strung with bamboo huts, paddy fields and sugar palms allows you to experience a country and a culture that remain refreshingly unblemished by tourism. Fingers crossed it stays that way.
