After spending 14 days exploring Vietnam, I continued my journey with 10 days in Cambodia, discovering fantastic places that made my vacation truly unforgettable. However, it was my time in Phnom Penh, Cambodia’s capital, that left the most lasting impression. Spending just one day in Phnom Penh allowed me to experience a perfect blend of rich history, culture, and warmth from the locals. From exploring historical landmarks like the Killing Fields and the Royal Palace, to savoring the delicious local cuisine and enjoying the peaceful riverside views, Phnom Penh offered an enriching experience that I’ll never forget.
During the Phnom Penh city tour, I visited Wat Phnom first, a big place named after Phnom Penh city. It's 27 meters high, the tallest spot around. It's the main temple in the capital and a special place that many tourists visit every year. The guide told me a lot about the history and beliefs of the Cambodian people.
Next, I visited Wat Ounalum, a Buddhist monastery serving as the headquarters for one of the most revered Buddhist sects in Cambodia.
In my memory, the atrocities of the Khmer Rouge regime are deeply etched when I visited the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, formerly a high school transformed into an interrogation prison known as S-21 during the Khmer Rouge era. Today, it serves as a serious reminder of the terrible crimes that happened during that dark period in Cambodian history. Walking through the narrow hallways and the haunting classrooms of this site, especially during the Phnom Penh city tour, immersed me in Cambodia's tumultuous past. The museum allows you to understand the pain that innocent Cambodians went through while being tortured on the museum grounds. I witnessed the documentation of the victims' stories and observed torture devices, including profound black-and-white photographs taken during the prisoners' time in the prison.
I went with the guide and my friend during the Phnom Penh day tours to have lunch at a famous and delicious Cambodian restaurant called Khmer Surin Restaurant. The restaurant has a beautiful view and cozy atmosphere which made me feel comfortable. I had the opportunity to enjoy the traditional dishes of the Khmer people.
On one day in Phnom Penh, Silver Pagoda, also known as Wat Ounalom, is one of the largest and most important pagodas in Phnom Penh. In the middle of the city, the Silver Pagoda has nice and holy buildings. It's where one of the top Buddhist groups in Cambodia works, and it keeps a lot of important cultural and spiritual things. Going to the Silver Pagoda helped me understand more about Buddhism in this country.
At the end of the Phnom Penh city tour day, we went to the National Museum, which had really cool Khmer art and statues from different times in Cambodia. I learned a lot about the country's rich culture.

To discover Vietnam from a different perspective, I chose a 2-day Vietnam farm tour, far from the usual tourist routes. My goal was simple: to leave the big cities behind, understand the daily life of local farmers, and take part in activities I had never experienced before. Rather than moving from one monument or guided tour to another, I wanted to slow down, observe, learn, and connect with local people. With the help of a local travel agency in Hanoi, I was able to plan an experience centered around rural life, traditional farming practices, and shared meals with local families. Here is what I took away from these two days.
I’ve just returned from 2 weeks in Central and North Vietnam, and I’m left with the feeling that I discovered several different sides of the country without spending most of my time on the road. Before leaving, I was mainly looking for a varied itinerary combining major cultural sites, beautiful scenery, and enough free time to enjoy each destination at my own pace. From Hanoi to Hoi An, with stops in Ninh Binh, Lan Ha Bay, and Hue, each place had its own atmosphere and experiences to offer. Here is my personal feedback on this 2 weeks in Central and North Vietnam trip, including the moments that stayed with me and a few tips I would give another traveler today. Organizing the trip with a local travel agency in Hanoi also gave me greater peace of mind throughout the journey.
