This Cambodian adventure begins in the capital. Pay respect to lives lost at the spine-chilling Tuol Sleng Museum and the infamous Killing Fields, before taking time to discover a more glorious era amid the treasures of the National Museum.

Crumbling French-colonial shopfronts along the riverfront lend a certain elegance to Battambang's facade. Learn the secrets of Khmer cuisine in a cooking class, explore the surrounding countryside or maybe take an ox-cart ride near this tranquil riverside town.

Rise early to see a spectacular sunrise over Angkor Wat and enjoy a day of temple-hopping. The structures of Angkor are an amazing archaeological sight and are sure to captivate.

Experience the serenity of small-town Cambodia in Kompong Cham before exploring a rural river island by bicycle.

Once renowned for its pepper, riverside Kampot is a wonderful place to relax. Venture into the countryside for a tour through salt flats, rice fields, pepper plantations and the famous Phnom Chhnork caves. Stop by villages along the way to meet the locals and witness their daily lives.

Settle in for some beachside bliss on Cambodia's southern coast. Catch a boat out to a nearby island to relax among swaying palms, white sands and clear blue waters.

Go in search of shade and some silver jewellery at the Russian Market or see if the blue flag is flying outside the Royal Palace - it's a sign the king is in.
