LuxeSiam Travel: Cambodia

Cambodia is a phoenix rising from the ashes of a tumultuous past to rediscover its ancient grandeur and rich cultural history. Cambodia’s modern-day resurrection is redefining luxe travel in Southeast Asia.

Explore the ruins of Angkor off the beaten path, where jungle vines weave along centuries-old stonework etched with Buddhist narratives.  Revel in the majesty of Angkor Wat and the mystique of Ta Prohm. Walk royal grounds of the Khmer Empire’s kings and queens through the halls of Bayon Temple and across the expansive Terrance of the Elephants.

From Siem Reap, bike to Tonle Sap Lake and its floating villages, and bird watch in the Prek Toal Sanctuary. Ride the bamboo train into Battambang and catch a travelling circus at Phare Ponieu Selpak. Camp overnight by village fireside, or poolside at a five-star resort. 

Observe local artisans as they preserve creative tradition through stonework and silk painting. Spend the afternoon indulging in a signature Khmer massage, and relax with an evening of cocktails, local cuisine and classical Cambodian dance.

At the epicenter of Cambodia’s cultural and economic renaissance is Phnom Penh. The capital city’s French beginnings live on in sidewalk cafés, stylish boutiques and colonial architecture, as modern day commerce and contemporary arts mingle with busy street life and city markets.  The Royal Palace, National Museum and Tuol Sleng Museum hold Cambodia’s legacy of challenges and triumphs.

Travel via helicopter or hot air balloon along the Cardamom Mountains and over Asia’s largest mangrove forest. Wind down in sleepy beach town Kep for a seaside snack from the crab market. Dinner follows in your private villa overlooking Sihanoukville’s Serendipity Beach. 

On the wings of its enduring spirit and growing optimism, Cambodia is ready to take flight. We hope you will be along for the ride.
