Cambodia Travel Blog
Travel guides, itineraries, abandoned places, street art and off-the-beaten-path places in CambodiaHello and welcome to our Cambodia travel blog. You will find all our Cambodia blog posts in this section of our website.
Maybe you found our Cambodia travel blog because you are considering a visit to Cambodia, or perhaps you are partway through planning a trip to South East Asia. Whatever the reason, we hope we can provide some useful resources and travel tips for Cambodia.
Cambodia is a country that is very close to our hearts. Mark first backpacked there in 1992 and Kirsty first visited in 2003. It’s a destination we’ve been to countless times on both business and personal trips, and we’ve also spent extended periods of time in both Siem Reap and Phnom Penh.
Our Cambodia blog posts are generally aimed at independent travellers and backpackers like us and have a strong focus on travelling around using public transport, staying in budget accommodation and exploring off-the-beaten-path and lesser-visited places.
