Regions at a Glance
Phnom Penh, Cambodia's resurgent capital, is the place to check the
pulse of contemporary life. Siem Reap, gateway to the majestic
temples of Angkor, is starting to give the capital a run for its money
with sophisticated restaurants, funky bars and chic boutiques. World
Heritage Site Angkor houses some of the most spectacular temples on
earth.
Down on the South Coast are several up-and-coming beach resorts
and a smattering of tropical islands that are very undeveloped com-
pared with those of neighbouring countries. Northwestern Cambodia is
home to Battambang, a slice of more traditional life, and several re-
mote jungle temples. The country's wild east is where elephants roam,
waterfalls thunder and freshwater dolphins can be found.
