Kingdom of Wonder

Angkorwat Angkor Wat (or Angkor Vat) (Khmer: អង្គរវត្ត), is a temple complex at Angkor, Cambodia, built for the king Suryavarman II in the early 12th century as his state temple and capital city. As the best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious centre since its foundation—first Hindu, dedicated to Vishnu, then Buddhist. The temple is the epitome of the high classical style of Khmer architecture. It has become a symbol of Cambodia, appearing on its national flag, and it is the country's prime attraction for visitors. More Details.
Culture Khmer culture, as developed and spread by the Khmer empire, has distinctive styles of dance, architecture and sculpture, which have been exchanged with neighbouring Laos and Thailand through the history. Angkor Wat (Angkor means "city" and Wat "temple") is the best preserved example of Khmer architecture from the Angkorian era and hundreds of other temples have been discovered in and around the region. The Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, the infamous prison of the Khmer Rouge, and Choeung Ek, one of the main Killing Fields are other important historic sites
Cuisine Khmer cuisine is noted for the use of prahok (ប្រហុក), a type of fermented fish paste, in many dishes as a distinctive flavouring. When prahok is not used, it is likely to be kapǐ (កាពិ) instead, a kind of fermented shrimp paste. Coconut milk is the main ingredient of many Khmer curries and desserts. Many rice varieties are available in Cambodia, including aromatic rice and glutinous or sticky rice. The latter is used more in desserts with fruits like durian. Almost every meal includes a bowl of rice
Eco Tourism The four current sites are the large waterbird colonies at Prek Toal, the ibises at Tmatboey in the Northern Plains, the floricans in Kompong Thom and the cranes at Ang Trapeang Thmor. Together they cover the range of habitats found in north-west Cambodia: from the open waters and flooded forests of the Tonle Sap Great Lake, to the grasslands in the lake’s floodplain, and finally the upland deciduous diptoercarp and semi-evergreen forests.
