Cambodia Tourist Guide From Discount Hotels

A visit to Cambodia will take you to a beautiful country in Southeast Asia. There are twenty provinces, each with its own unique style. All of the country follows the Thervada Buddhist religion. Modesty is required of all visitors at all times, so this is one place where you cannot wear shorts or bathing suits. Women should also avoid touching or even speaking to a monk dressed in orange robes outside the temples.

Phnom Penh is the capital of the country and has many accommodation for tourists. Here you can visit the palaces of the former rulers of the country as well as numerous religious sites. You will be able to see the Khmer style of architecture and the Hindu motif used on the buildings - a symbolic bird. You can't leave the city without a visit to Wat Phnom where the monkeys live in the trees and you can get a ride on an elephant. About 15 km west of the city, you can visit the Killing Fields where more than 8000 skulls have been arranged behind glass screens.

The town of Siem Reap has become a popular tourist destination in Cambodia and has many kinds of accommodation available. Here you can visit Angkor Wat and other religious temples, some of which are among the world's most amazing monuments. The archeological development of this site remains unspoiled by commercial ventures, so you can really get to see it as it once was.

In the western part of the country, one of the tourist attractions is the ancient city of Battambang. However, if you come to Cambodia for its beautiful beaches, you will need to travel to the country's second city - Sihanoukville. Here you will find stretches of unspoiled beaches and a more relaxed atmosphere.
