CAMBODIA

 

CambodiaWhile Cambodia has moved forward from the horrific devastation it suffered at the hands of the Khmer Rouge, much of that recent history is still in evidence today. But, a thousand years before the Khmer Rouge there was the ancient Khmer Empire, a great civilization that ruled for centuries. It was a civilization where kings were worshipped as gods. It was a civilization that created one of the world's most spectacular wonders - Angkor. And Angkor is reason enough to visit Cambodia.

At Southeast Asia Tours, we design tours for any number of people and any length of stay. The focus is always on your special interests and desires. Here are just a few samples of the kind of trip that we can design just for you.
