Quick Facts

Food

Cambodian cuisine is shaped by geography, history, and tradition. Signature dishes like amok (coconut fish curry) and samlor korkor (vegetable stew) blend fresh herbs, fermented pastes, and local produce. Meals are often communal, highlighting balance, seasonality, and regional diversity.

UNESCO World Heritage Sites

Cambodia is home to three iconic UNESCO sites, most notably Angkor Wat, a symbol of Khmer architecture, empire, and spirituality. Other notable sites include Preah Vihear and Sambor Prei Kuk, each offering insights into religious and political history.
