Phnom Penh
Phnom Penh is the capital of Cambodia. It is a great city with lots of things to
do and see. The town is spread out on the banks of two rivers.
The main sights in town include Wat Phnom from where you have great views over
the city, the Silver Pagoda in the Royal Palace complex, where you can see the
emerald Buddha and a Buddha made of solid gold. The National Museum is also
worth a visit. Other sights include the Phnom Temple, the Orchid Garden, the
central market and a 15th-century pagoda or you can take a boat ride on the
Mekong River to see the floating villages and a crocodile farm.
One of the most enjoyable things to do is to take a walk down by the Tonle Sap
river in the late afternoon when all the local Khmers are there. There is lots
going on - eating, entertaining, praying - & everyone seems to be enjoying it. A
very rewarding experience.
