Phnom Penh

Phnom Penh is a dynamic, growing city. While it’s the largest one in Cambodia, it’s actually smaller and more laid-back than other major Asian capitals. However, it’s still full of the bustle and colorful chaos that makes southeast Asia so unique. As the economic and cultural hub of Cambodia, Phnom Penh is filled with markets that have vendors selling both iPhones and fried tarantulas. You can easily spend an afternoon by the pool at a boutique hotel or inside an urban temple (just watch out for monkeys). A walk thought its streets will reveal motorbikes, bicycle taxis and barefoot monks.
