Cambodia

Cambodia has a rich and ancient history, once home to the powerful Khmer Empire (9th–15th century), which built the iconic Angkor Wat, one of the world’s largest religious monuments.
The country faced turmoil during the Khmer Rouge regime (1975–1979), but has made significant progress since the 1990s.
Khmer culture is deeply rooted in Buddhism, traditional music, dance (like Apsara), and intricate arts and crafts.
