Dave, Libby and Alexandra in Cambodia on their first trip  |

Cambodia has a land area of 181,035 square kilometers in the southwestern part of the Indochina peninsula, about 20% of which is used for agriculture. It lies completely within the tropics with its southern most point slightly more than 10% above the Equator. The capital city is Phnom Penh. The borders are shared with Thailand and the Lao People's Democratic Republic on the West and the North, and the Social Republic of Viet Nam on the East and the Southeast. The country is bounded on the Southeast by the Gulf of Thailand. It has a coastline of 435 km.
The population of Cambodia is about 10 Million. Approximately 90-95 percent of the people are Khmer ethnic. The remaining 5-10 percent include Chinese - Khmers, Khmer Islam or Chams, ethnic hill - tribe people, known as the Khmer Loeu, and Vietnamese. About 10 percent of the population lives in Phnom Penh, the capital, making Cambodia largely a country of rural dwellers, farmers and artisans.
The Kingdom of Cambodia is a land rich in natural wonders, including species of animals, birds, fish, flora and fauna which remain undocumented. In the northern half of the country thick jungle canopy runs from the western border with Thailand all along the Dangrek mountain escarpment of the rugged, mountainous hills which border Vietnam in the east. These ancient stands are rich in hardwoods, including towering Mahogany and Treak trees.
Cambodia runs at GMT 7hours, the same time zone as its neighbours Thailand, Vietnam and Laos.
US dollars are as commonly used as the Cambodian Riel and even Thai Baht is acceptable. |
