Cambodia travel guide

Cambodia is a SE Asian nation bordering Vietnam to the east, Laos to the north, Thailand to the northwest. It has a famous jewel to its crown; the Angkor Wat, largest religious monument in the world. It is a popular tourist destination having ancient grand temples, stunning beaches, lush mountains and alluring nightlife. History: Cambodia has in the recent past has suffered traumatic horror in which almost a third of Cambodians were killed by the Khmer Rouge under the dictator Pol Pot between 1975-1979. Khmer Rouge wanted to transform Cambodia into an extreme peasant society by wiping out the currency, eradicating religion, arts and education, abolishing any kind of personal property; a society where all peasants work on the fields in the interest of the state. People were killed for absurd reasons in the most inhuman ways possible. At places people were made to dig their own graves and were buried alive. Everyone visiting Cambodia should know of this dark history and appreciate the country and its brave people for their sacrifices and the progress they have made. Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, the “Killing Fields” in Phnom Penh and the “Killing Cave” near Battambang are the reminders of the horrific past. Also, I would recommend you to read/ watch the book/film ‘First They Killed My Father’ that showcases a story from the period of Khmer Rouge reign in Cambodia, to better understand what happened.buy online OnePlus 7T (Glacier Blue, 8GB RAM, Fluid AMOLED Display, 128GB Storage, 3800mAH
