Enchanting Cambodia is a colourful and informative
introduction to one of the most fascinating and distinctive countries in
Southeast Asia, home of the great Khmer civilization, which created the vast
temple complex at Angkor.
Most visitors come to see Angkor
Wat, the main temple that was lost in the jungle for centuries, and is now part
of a renowned World Heritage Site. However, Cambodia has much more to offer,
including the landmarks and temples of Phnom Penh, wildlife-watching at Angkor
and Tonle Sap, the relaxed resorts of the south and a still-present French
colonial heritage - visitors arriving at Phnom Penh international airport may
be surprised to find French taking precedence over English on the arrival
signs, and the aroma of coffee and croissants in the air.
