Why Cambodia?

Cambodia is a country that offers much more than just the iconic Angkor Wat temple complex. While it's true that Angkor Wat is a must-visit destination on any Cambodia tour or Southeast Asia holiday, the country has so much more to offer.

The capital city of Phnom Penh is a bustling metropolis with a rich history and culture. Visit the Royal Palace, the National Museum of Cambodia, and the Killing Fields to learn about the country's past and present.

Battambang, located in the northwest region of Cambodia, is a charming town known for its delicious cuisine and French colonial architecture. Take a cooking class, visit a local market, or enjoy a leisurely bike ride through the countryside.

For those looking for some relaxation, head to Koh Rong Island, known for its pristine beaches and clear waters. Spend your days lounging on the beach, snorkeling, or scuba diving.

One of the most special things about Cambodia is the genuine warmth and positivity of the Khmer people. From the tuk-tuk drivers to the street food vendors, the locals are friendly and welcoming, making your trip to Cambodia even more memorable.

If you're looking to explore more of Southeast Asia, Cambodia can easily be combined with a trip to neighboring Vietnam or Thailand. At Custom Asia Travel, we offer sample Cambodia itineraries and can also customize your Cambodia vacation based on your preferences and interests.

I cannot say enough positives about Custom Asia Travel! We visited Vietnam in December/January 2023 and had an amazing trip with our 3 teens. The itinerary exceeded our expectations! We travelled to Hanoi, Ninh Binh, Ha Long Bay, Hoi An, and Nha Trang. We had no issues with any of our transportation around the country - our drivers and guides were always there on time (early, actually), friendly and helpful. The accommodations were excellent and our guides were fantastic (Tanh, Tanh, and Viet - they were awesome!). Every place we stayed put our rooms right next to each other, often adjoining, and the kids’ room always had two twin beds and a cot, while my husband and I had a king bed. This was perfect as our teenagers did not want to share beds, lol! The activities were super fun and appealed to all of us. So many highlights - the kids loved the rice farm tour (riding the water Buffalo elicited the biggest smile we’ve ever seen from our 16 year old!), seeing the caves in Ninh Binh, the cooking class in Hoi An, and Ha Long Bay. I really appreciated that some of our itinerary was focused on less crowded activities - a couple of the temples we saw were practically empty, allowing us to enjoy and experience these beautiful sites on our own. We did a couple of bike rides which were also highlights, such a great way to explore and see the area! Minh was available and responsive while planning the trip and while we were there. I agree with others reviews about whether she ever sleeps! She was able to coordinate our luggage getting dropped off as it did not arrive with us, and contacted one of the hotels about a ring that had been left, and arranged for us to pick it up. She was warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and so helpful. We truly had a relaxing and stress free trip because of the excellent customer service from Minh and our guides. With only having 12 days to visit we were so grateful to be able to enjoy the travel and know that Minh and her team were there if and when needed. I highly recommend using this company, you will not regret it! Now I am dreaming of how quickly we can make it back!! Thank you thank you to Minh and the team, our trip was unforgettable!

Food in Cambodia is a blend of flavors from Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, and French cuisine. Here are some popular dishes to try: fish amok, a steamed fish curry with coconut milk and spices; lok lak, a stir-fried beef dish with peppers and onions; and kuy teav, a noodle soup with pork or beef. Street food is also a must-try in Cambodia, with vendors offering a variety of delicious snacks such as fried noodles, spring rolls, and grilled meats. Vegetarians will find plenty of options in Cambodia as many dishes highlight fresh vegetables and herbs.

  • What are the customs and cultural norms in Cambodia?
    Cambodia has a rich culture and history, and it is important for travelers to be aware of the customs and cultural norms in order to avoid offending the locals. Here are some key points to keep in mind: Dress modestly, especially when visiting temples or religious sites. This means covering your shoulders and knees. Remove your shoes before entering a temple or someone's home. Use your right hand to pass or receive objects, as the left hand is considered impure. Avoid touching people's heads, as it is considered disrespectful. When greeting someone, it is polite to use the Sampeah gesture, which involves placing your hands together in a prayer-like position in front of your chest and slightly bowing your head. It is customary to remove hats and sunglasses when entering a temple or religious site. Public displays of affection are not common in Cambodia and may be seen as inappropriate. Tipping is not common in Cambodia, but it is becoming more prevalent in tourist areas. If you decide to give a tip, a small amount is appreciated. When giving or receiving something, use both hands as a sign of respect. Lastly, respect the tragic history of Cambodia and the impact it still has on many Cambodians. Avoid making insensitive comments about the Khmer Rouge or the country's political situation. For more information on customs and cultural norms in Cambodia, it is always wise to consult a local travel agency like Custom Asia Travel, which can provide additional advice and support.
  • Are there any specific health concerns I should be aware of before traveling to Cambodia?
    Yes, there are some health concerns that travelers should be aware of before visiting Cambodia. Malaria is present in certain regions of the country, so it's important to take preventive measures such as using mosquito nets and repellents. Dengue, another mosquito-borne disease, is also a risk. Travelers should also be cautious about what they eat and drink to avoid food and waterborne illnesses such as traveler's diarrhea. It is recommended to drink bottled water, avoid ice in beverages, and consume only thoroughly cooked food. Vaccinations against hepatitis A and B, typhoid, and tetanus are also recommended. It is best to consult a healthcare professional or travel medicine clinic before traveling to Cambodia to discuss any specific health concerns and the necessary vaccinations or medications.
