The Khmer culture, customs, and language have deep roots in the era of the Khmer Kingdom, founded by Jayavarman II in the late 9th century, and flourished during the time of Angkor, marked by impressive constructions and advancements in various fields. However, internal conflicts and colonial invasions weakened the kingdom in later centuries.

Under French colonial rule from the early 19th century, Cambodia's quest for independence persisted until November 9th, 1953, when France granted Cambodia its independence, partly due to King Sihanouk's leadership.

Today, Cambodia stands as a nation with a remarkable history and vibrant allure, welcoming travelers to explore its fascinating past and captivating landscapes.

Culture

Cambodia's culture is deeply influenced by Hinduism and Buddhism from India, shaping every aspect of its way of life. Buddhism is embraced by about 80% of the population, playing a significant role in the country's cultural identity, development, and prosperity. Tourists are drawn to Cambodia's diverse culture enriched by influences from various nations.

The Khmer Kingdom's architecture, influenced by Buddhism and Hinduism, boasts impressive structures made of wood, bamboo, straw, and stone. Stone buildings, including temples, walls, and roads, stand as enduring testaments to their historical legacy.

Cambodia's festivals celebrate Buddhism through dances and songs. Hindu festivals showcase rich art performances like the traditional "Pin Peat," featuring bamboo, wood, and percussion instruments. Ancient dances honoring Hindu deities and court dances inspired by the legendary "Apsara" character add to the country's diverse cultural tapestry. With numerous ethnic groups, each with unique dance traditions, Cambodia offers visitors unforgettable cultural celebrations and artistic experiences.

The best time to travel in Cambodia

Cambodia experiences a climate similar to Vietnam, with distinct rainy and sunny seasons, though generally hotter. For the most pleasant travel experience, visitors should avoid the hot sunshine periods. The ideal time for Cambodia tourism is from November to February, characterized by comfortable weather, milder temperatures, and less rainfall. In April, the Khmer New Year (Tet) brings many festivals like Songkran. Additionally, from mid-November, a traditional boat racing festival takes place, adding to the cultural charm of the country.

How to get to Cambodia?

Vietnam to Cambodia offers various transportation options. Flights to Phnom Penh take 50 minutes, Siem Reap about 1 hour 20 minutes. 
For scenic and affordable travel, an express boat from Chau Doc to Phnom Penh takes 5 hours.
Traveling by road takes longer: 12 hours from Ho Chi Minh City to Siem Reap and 6 hours to Phnom Penh.
In Cambodia, buses are popular for domestic travel, while walking and renting bikes (around 6 USD per day) are convenient in cities. Tuk-tuks provide a unique and memorable experience.

Cambodia Currency

  • In fact, the dollar is popular there and you should prepare more small USD for convenience. You can also use Riel (called Ria) with the rate is approximately 1 USD = 4100 riels. If you travel by road, you should exchange at the border gate and remember that don't change money from USD to Riel, the exchange rate will be lower. And you can also use Vietnamese Dong in some places.

Cambodia Travel Tips

  • Cambodia places great importance on religious culture, so it's crucial to wear appropriate clothing, especially when visiting places of worship like temples and pagodas. Remember to remove hats and shoes before entering the temple and avoid standing too close to or touching monks.
  • As a shopping paradise with markets offering handicrafts and souvenirs, be aware that some shops may overprice items. Don't hesitate to browse and bargain for a better deal.
  • Respect Cambodian customs by refraining from rubbing a child's head, as it is considered a sacred part of the body. When interacting with locals, maintain a happy and friendly attitude, as it will enhance your travel experience.
