Here is our Top 10 of Cambodia

Number 10….. The Silk Farm Tour, Siem Reap– this was really interesting.  None of our kids knew where silk came from and it made one appreciate the amount of labor that goes into garments.

Number 9……Pub Street, Siem Reap– this street was busy.  It was full of life with many vendors and tourists.  We had a great visit with Brian and Carrolyn, and received a great behind the scenes tip.

Number 8….. Angkor Wat, Siem Reap– You know that this place has to be special in Cambodia.  It is the only country with a building on it’s flag.  We loved it here, I think our guide really made this for us.

Number 7……Food-Everyone talks about Thai food.  This was the place for me.  Khmer curry dishes, Amok, Beef Lok Lak, smoothies.  The flavours were out of this world!

Number 6…….Cambodia Land Mine Museum, Siem Reap– this place gave us a real sense of the amount of land mines in Cambodia.  It was informative and really gave a story of hope.  The kids really loved it as well.

Number 5……Wildlife Rescue Centre, Phnom Penh– this was a hit with us.  Feeding various animals and getting high jacked by monkeys really made this magical and hilarious.

Number 4……. Siem Reap– this place had everything for us.  A lot of things we did there were also on this list.  The people, our hotel, the vibe of the city, we loved everything here.

Number 3…….Koh Ta Kiev– This island oasis was special.  Sleeping in a bungalow overlooking the ocean, the bar tenders really making Danika’s birthday special, the relaxed atmosphere, it really had it all.

Number 2…..Phare Circus, Siem Reap– This socially conscious circus was phenomenal!  The performers put on a show with a pride that we have never seen in a performance before.  We also loved that they made fun of tourists.

Number 1….People– this one was so easy for our favourite thing.  The Cambodian people are perhaps the most beautiful, kind and most polite people that we have encountered.  They were always glad to see us and really made us feel welcomed in their country!
