Long answer: it’s like the country that South East Asia left behind. While Thailand and (to an extent) Vietnam are heaving with Bintang-singlet-wearing tourists\, Cambodia has a way more laidback feel. Kind of like those countries 20 years ago. The history is also a big drawcard – not only do you have Khmer relics dotted through the jungle like the UNESCO wonder Angkor Wat\, you’ve also got the tragic late 20th-century genocide\, which still leaves its mark on Cambodian life. Basically: Phuket this is not. \nVIEW BROCHURE HERE for full itinerary and further details!  \nView Video HERE \nReady to go?\nREGISTER HERE     \nFind full Booking Terms and Conditions HERE \nFor any further details or to submit your interest\, email jure@caft.co.uk
