Activities

Biking:
Cyclyng around Cambodia is becoming more and more popular amongst travelers, as the roads' quality has improved in the last years, and security also. Incredibly beautiful landscapes await the adventurous biker,together with the warm smiles of Khmer people. Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom historical complexes are better visited riding a bike than using noisy motodops or Tuk-Tuks.

Drinking:

Angkor Beer is Cambodia's most popular ale. The factory has been taken over by a famous international group, and the quality is improving month after month. Other popular beers are Tiger, Anchor, Black Panther, ABC, Heineken, Asahi and Guinness.Beer is quite cheap, and many places offer prolonged happy hours, with draft lagers at even half dollar each.

Dirt-biking:
Cambodia's road are a good 60 percent still dirt tracks. A paradise for those who like to go really rough.Suggestions: have an accident insurance covering med-evac, wear knee and elbow protections and an helmet, ride in group and never after dusk.

Diving:
Actually there are quite a lot of diving schools around, and they offer courses and overnight diving tours for a quarter of what you would pay for them back home or in nearby Thailand. Absolutely not to miss.

Eating:
Cambodia is a paradise for the cheapskate gourmand. French cuisine is widely available in the main towns at one tenth of what you could actually pay for it in France. Indian, Lebanese, Italian, German, Korean, Cantonese and Japanese food is also widely available around the main tourist spots. Khmer food is absolutely delicious, too, similar to Thai food, but with indo-chinese influences. Bread ( French style baguette) is available, fresh from the oven, at any market in Cambodia.

Island-hopping:
Cambodia has more than twenty deserted or undeveloped islands, where mangrove, monkeys, snakes and corals abound. A few islands have some basic facilities for overnight trips, too. Enjoy this last paradise until it lasts....

Lazying:
This country has a reputation to defend: the most laid-back place on Earth. And it is doing well, as chilling out and lazying under a shade is becoming contagious to any newcomer. When in Rome, do as the Romans do, they say, so when in Cambodia...
Snorkelling:
Fantastic corals and fishes of any kind, color and dimension await the intrepid snorkelers in Coastal Cambodia. Don't worry, ain't any shark around, at least bigger than 50-70 cm.

Relaxing:
Buddha said that we can find the action even in the inaction. And Cambodia is a Buddhist country, so why to argue?
The best way to do things in Cambodia is doing them at the local pace.So, please, don't be nervous, relax and enjoy everything around you.

Trekking:
Once diffused only in Northern Thailand and some parts of Vietnam, trekking is beginning to take foot in Cambodia, too.
Check with us the best itineraries.
Tubing:
Very popular activity amongst backpacking hordes in Laos, now you can lazily descend rivers on a tractor inner tube. here in Cambodia, too. An experience so relaxing that many get asleep on the tube and remain so until some villagers 15 miles downstream wake them up .....
