There are about 14 million people living in Cambodia, a very poor country in SE Asia wedged between Laos, Thailand and Vietnam. In the last 5 years or so, Cambodia has been making a serious comeback from the brutal regime of the Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot, the regime’s murderous dictator. Many tourists are discovering the charms of this relatively untouristed country. Most of the tourists like myself, visit Siem Reap for 3-4 days, the gateway to the magnificent archaeological site of Angkor Wat and then return to the more westernized and tourist friendly confines of Thailand for the remainder of their vacation.
