Welcome to Cambodia "Kingdom of Wonder"





Hi, everyone! I'm Nicole-loy from Cambodia. Now, I'm really proud to introduce my country to all of you. I'm going to show you about the history of Cambodia, life of Cambodian and many more that you can get to know my country. Hope you enjoy!!!


Get to know about Cambodia!!!

The Kingdom of Cambodia formerly known as Kampuchea,
a country in South East Asia with a population of over 14 million people.
Phnom Penh is the capital and the largest city of Cambodia.

The country borders:
Thailand to its west and northwest
Laos to its northeast
Vietnam to its east and southeast
In the south it faces the Gulf of Thailand.

The geography of Cambodia is dominated by the Mekong river and the Tonlé Sap ("the fresh water lake"), an important source of fish.

Cambodia's main industries are garments, tourism, and construction. In 2005, oil and natural gas deposits were found beneath Cambodia's territorial water, and once commercial extraction begins in 2011, the oil revenues could profoundly affect Cambodia's economy.


2temples from Cambodia are put for the world heritage!

"ANGKOR WAT TEMPLE & Presh Vihear temple"

Angkor wat temple is one of the great complex of ancient temples in southeast asia. Nowaday, it's in Siemreap province of The Kingdom of Cambodia. The temples of Angkor, built by the Khmer civilization between 802 and 1220 AD, represent one of humankind's most astonishing and enduring architectural achievements.

The structures one sees at Angkor today, more than 100 stone temples in all, are the surviving remains of a grand religious, social and administrative metropolis whose other buildings - palaces, public buildings, and houses - were built of wood and are long since decayed and gone.

Angkor Wat has become a major tourist destination. In 2004 and 2005, government figures suggest that, respectively, 561,000 and 677,000 foreign visitors arrived in Siem Reap province, approximately 50% of all foreign tourists in Cambodia for both years. Nowaday, in 2008 the amount of nation and national guests visit this spectacular temple have increased day over day....


You can come to visit this spectacular and ancient temple, too.
Welcome for all of you:-)




Life of Cambodian

Cambodia is a peaceful country. Most people in the country side are the farmers. They're farming, fishing and feeding the animals. Even though, they aren't the special or powerful job, but people always enjoy their simple life. The only thing they need is "Happiness". Cambodia is the country that exports paddy, too.

On the other hands, in the city is much more different than the country side. As I have told you above, Phnom Penh is the main city and the biggest city in Cambodia. Phnom Penh has lots of entertainment place, tall building, super mall and many other special things that can interest the visitors to come, increase day over day. Cambodia doesn't have many tall building. It's such a natural country. That's why; many foreigners like to visit Cambodia.





Oh, yeah!! If you're tired, stress, boring, "KOMPONG SOM" is one of the best places where you can solve all these problems. Kompong Som is one of the cities in Cambodia. It's also the tourist place. People go to Kompong som to absorb the fresh air, swimming, play sand, fishing, canoeing, camping, especially to see the beautiful beach with the clean and wonderful sea that you can enjoy. The thing that you don't have to forget when visit Kompong Som is "eating seafood". You will taste the delicious Khmer foods (Cambodia food). The seafood are fresh; don't worry, it isn't frozen. I cannot report you about this point, because now my stomach is....when my brain thinks about that delicious seafood from Kompong Som lol..

Many interesting places are waiting for your coming...


Cambodia is a nature country which full of natural places, never face any disasters. Beside the beach, waterfall is one of the most spectacular places in Cambodia. Most waterfalls are located in the southeast of Cambodia. You can go there to relax, see the beautiful waterfall, swimming, take pictures, inhale the fresh air, listen to the birds sing and many other natural things that you can do and see… Take your time there; I'm sure you won't regret your time....


Okay, let's me teach you some Cambodia languages:


Hello! : Su Sdey!
How are you? : Ter nak sok sapbai chea te?
I'm fine. : Sok sapbai chea te.
Thanks : Or Kun
Good bye : Jom reap lea!
Good morning : Ah run su sdey!
Good evening : Rea trey su sdey!
Sorry : Som tos
Good luck : Som nang la or!

Don't you think, it's easy to learn???
Try your best, friend!



Cambodia always opens the door, welcome all visitors. Your holiday or your vacation will be fantastic if you can visit Cambodia. Hope you enjoy my site and you can get to know my country much better than before. Stay warm, everyone!!
