Signature experiences

The reasons you came for, and a few you didn't.

Cambodia — Angkor at sunrise, then by tuk-tukIconic

Angkor at sunrise, then by tuk-tuk

Ta Prohm before the crowds, Angkor Wat's reflection pools, then quieter Bayon and a lunch break.

Cambodia — Phare Cambodian CircusCulture

Phare Cambodian Circus

An evening of acrobatics by graduates of a school for at-risk children — better than it sounds, by far.

Cambodia — Tonle Sap floating villageOff-grid

Tonle Sap floating village

A slow boat to Kompong Khleang, the most authentic of the Tonle Sap settlements.

Field notes

Small things that change the trip.

Practical Cambodia knowledge from people who keep going back.

  • 01

    Three full days at Angkor — not one. The complex deserves it.

  • 02

    USD is accepted everywhere; KHR is given as change under $1.

  • 03

    Phnom Penh's S-21 and Choeung Ek are heavy and essential — plan a quiet evening after.

  • 04

    Avoid land-mine areas in the far north-west; we route around them.

  • 05

    Koh Rong is the beach finish; the eastern side is the quieter one.
