Cambodia
is a land of superlatives. The ancient temples of Angkor Wat,
Bayon and other ruins of the Khmer Empire rank amongst the
world's grandest and most magnificent World Heritage Sites. Yet,
the Khmer people, who make up more than 95% of modern Cambodia's
population, impress visitors as some of the friendliest,
'happiest' (sabbai), and most gentle people they have ever met.
The ubiquitous Khmer smile is legendary, as is traditional Khmer
hospitality and openness. Cambodia is truly a land of light and
dark, of wonder and of tragedy - awe-inspiring, heart wrenching
and completely unique.
Cambodia has a
land area of 181,035 square
kilometers in the southwestern part
of the Indochina peninsula, about 20
percent of which is used for
agriculture. It lies completely
within the tropics with its southern
most points slightly more than 10°
above the Equator.
The Kingdom of Cambodia has 24 provinces and city.
The Capital of Cambodia is Phnom Penh, the vibrant bustling
capital of Cambodia. The capital city still maintains
considerable charm with plenty to
see.
