Cambodia handbook (Footprint handbooks)

Ankor, the ancient capital of the powerful Khmer Empire, is one of the archaeological gems of Asia and the spiritual and cultural heart of Cambodia. This handbook contains information on how to get there and where to stay, plus background information enabling the visitor to understand the full significance of this great historical monument. It includes information on all the latest developments in the capital Phnom Penh, as new hotels and restaurants open up on a daily basis. Although Phnom Penh and Siam Reap (for Ankor) are considered safe, rural areas are not regarded as such and overland travel is not a good idea. The handbook has information on where to go and where to avoid. It includes: visa information and entry requirements; where to stay and where to eat and make the most of the French gastronomic influence; how to get about by air (by far the easiest method), train, boat and road; and when to go and how to stay healthy.
