Why a Cambodia journal
Cambodia is booked for Angkor and remembered for the rest — the Phare circus, the bat flight at Battambang, the pepper at Kampot, a beach with nobody on it — and the questions before booking are about how much of it to add to a Thailand or Vietnam trip and how to do the hard history in Phnom Penh with children or without. The journal answers those, then sends you to the things to do page to choose and the tours page to book. The Cambodia-specific articles are being written; the four above are the Asia-level guides with the Cambodia sections and are the foundation.
