Cambodia was once the seat of the powerful Khmer Empire, where Angkor Wat, the largest religious monument site in the world, was constructed in the 12th century. However, the country’s fortunes declined significantly as it was attacked and plundered by its neighbors, colonized by the French in the 19th century, and devestated by American air strikes in the 1970s. Ultimately, it came under the oppressive rule of the Khmer Rouge, resulting in a great loss of life due to forced labor and executions.

Today Cambodia is slowly recovering from the dark days with infrastructure being re built and visitors being welcomed. Cambodia at times can be confronting, particularly the genocide museums and killing fields memorials. On the flip side the people are warm and inviting and the main sites of Angkor Wat are quite incredible.
