Your Honeymoon in Cambodia
Many visitors to Cambodia only have their sights set on one thing: the Angkor Temples. However, Cambodia has plenty more to offer any honeymooner considering a visit to the Khmer Kingdom. Alongside a wealth of architectural wonders and places of cultural and historical interest, there are miles of sand in the south, the fascinating city of Phnom Penh and the untamed North-East. In Cambodia’s south, there is Kep and Sihanoukville as well as some interesting new honeymoon possibilities such as the Cardomen Mountains and Koh Kong.
Where to start
The Angkor Temples are, of course, going to play a part in any honeymoon in Cambodia, so you’ll need to decide whether to start or finish your holiday there. During the country’s dry months you may want to include some beach time in Sihanoukville or in Kep. Phnom Penh should certainly feature during any visit. There are luxurious Tonlé Sap cruises ranging from three to seven days on converted rice barges and a number of less-visited towns and regions that you may wish to incorporate into your honeymoon depending on the length of your stay.
