All things come in time. The remote province of Ratanakiri in the country’s northeast has finally opened to visitors. Some of Southeast Asia’s least-known ethnic minorities await us, along with virtually unexplored natural areas. Spectacular landscapes with huge rivers, lakes and waterfalls, diamond mines and villages whose way of life would delight any anthropologist.
Dani S., our man in Cambodia, shares his reasons for travelling there.
The proximity of the countries of South-East Asia to the first epicentre of the pandemic in China led to the early adoption of measures and the closure of borders of all neighbouring countries. For Cambodia confirmed cases of coronavirus are rare, and daily life in the country is currently completely normal.
The Cambodian authorities maintain some health measures and recommendations, which do not affect the smooth running of our trips in the country.
Near the city of Siem Reap, in Cambodia, is the sacred city of Angkor, a region that was the heart of the Khmer Empire. Its temples were long engulfed by the relentless advance of the jungle (except Angkor Wat), now stand tall, offering spectacular views.
Angkor It currently has 910 temples, making it a major site of historical and cultural interest. It is therefore an essential stop on our Asian routes, naturally those through Cambodia, but sometimes also those through neighbouring Vietnam or Thailand.
Our dear friend and collaborator Daniel Souteranyt is putting the finishing touches to our routes in Cambodia.
He lives in the Southeast Asia for two decades and is currently touring the south of Cambodia, checking hotel standards and looking for new activities and experiences for our customers.
In Kep, a small town on the Cambodian coast, was surprised by these curious scenes, which they have shared with us along with their impressions.
Hello, everyone.
As some of you know, I've been doing a tour of the south of Cambodia to visit hotels and explore new options for beach itineraries. I stopped to sleep in Kep, a village once known as the “Saint-Tropez” of Asia but today it is smaller than Camprodón or Loeches, though by the sea, with a rather unappealing muddy beach. Cambodians (who, like many Asians, do not swim in the sea) are very fond of Kep, especially its crab market, where you can feast on this prized delicacy for very little money.
For me. Kep is just a stop along the way, with little to do except watch the best sunset in Cambodia and feast on seafood. But in that town of the Cambodia deep in which Catalonia must be as familiar to its inhabitants as “Alpha Centauri» I took some very interesting photographs at the stalls in the small market. Here they are. Look closely at the bracelets.
