Bangkok To Phnom Penh

Phnom Penh is the Cambodian capital and the country’s biggest city. The French colonial influence is evident, and a fine culture of cafés and restaurants, make it one of South East Asia’s more soothing capital cities.

About Phnom Penh

Even more than neighbouring Vietnam, Cambodia saw some brutal events in the 20th century, as memorialised in The Killing Fields and other places associated with the Khmer Rouge era, when Phnom Penh was largely abandoned. During the last 30 years, however, the city has been rebuilt and is now one of the region’s most interesting.

Cambodia’s capital is a little sleepy compared to Bangkok or Saigon, but don’t let that fool you. The wide French-style boulevards and colonial architecture, offer an excellent range of cafés and places to eat, and plenty of things to do. There are some fine buildings, like the Silver Pagoda, and fun shopping at the Central and Russian Markets.

See our Phnom Penh Quick Guide for details.

Things To Do In Phnom Penh

The grim legacy of the Khmer Rouge cannot be ignored. The Killing Fields at Choeung Ek is now a memorial to victims of the regime and the appropriately named Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum documents the thousands who were killed in this former school building.

There is plenty of beauty here too. The Silver Pagoda contains several gold Buddha statues, as well as Cambodia’s 17th century Emerald Buddha and the National Museum covers the rich history of the pre- and post-Angkor empire.

Shoppers will enjoy the comprehensive Central Market – also great for food – and the so-called Russian Market, today a haven for knock-off brand names and souvenirs.

See our Phnom Penh Quick Guide for a rundown of things to do.
