As a part of our South East Asia trip in the summer of 2006, we went to Cambodia, a country of astonishing beauty but also a witness to one of the world's worst genocides committed in the 70's by Pol Pot and his Red Khmers. Today Cambodia is looking to the future and the people are extremely friendly and welcoming to foreigners. One of my absolute favourite countries!

The classic view of Cambodia's no. 1: Angkor Wat	Are you able to spot the traveller?
Inside Angkor Wat, the Khmer history is written on reliefs	Probably even more astonishing, the temple of Bayon
Banteay Srei, well worth the extra 30 km on tuk-tuk	Part of Ta Prohm, where Tomb Raider was shot!
Somebody's watching you!	No surprise Ta Prohm was selected for film shooting!
Royal palace, capital of Phnom-Penh	View from the Foreign Correspondents CLub, Phnom-Penh
The dark side of Cambodia: skulls at Killing Fields....	But life goes on - girls on their way to school
In Cambodia you can stay comfortable - our terrace by the lake	And you can eat well! Friends' restaurant, run by street kids
