Cambodia
Cambodia holds one of humanity's greatest architectural achievements — Angkor Wat, a 12th-century temple city larger than medieval Paris. Beyond the temples, Phnom Penh is a city reborn from tragedy, and Sihanoukville's islands offer some of Southeast Asia's most affordable turquoise-water escapes.
