Product Description
Footprint's fully revised third edition of the Cambodia Handbook takes an informed and inspired approach to uncovering the mysteries of one of the most intriguing destinations of Southeast Asia. A new-and-improved contents listing and a new front map highlighting the best sights help readers navigate this nation that for many years was closed off to foreign travelers. Dozens of full-color maps cross-referenced with the text help readers decide where to stay, eat, and take in the local culture, while stunning full-color photographs depict the highlights of the country. Not to be missed is the book's comprehensive coverage of the architectural wonders of Angkor, the ancient capital of the Khmer Empire (on a par with Peru's Machu Picchu). The well-written text, while authoritative, incorporates the local perspective, with special attention to responsible tourism and ecosensitive travel.
