Neither quite a market nor quite a fairground, the riverside Walking Street has become Phnom Penh's liveliest stage — a concentrated version of the city that only reveals itself once the heat has broken.

No need to hit the road to switch off. For one weekend, we headed to Sofitel Phnom Penh Phokeethra, a benchmark for luxury in the capital, for a family-style guest experience: spectacular décor, a cocoon of a room, an open-air pool, Do Forni pizzas and breakfast with a view.

International media, travel agents, airlines, partner tourism boards: in the first half of 2026, the Cambodia Tourism Board (CTB) rolled out a four-channel marketing strategy to reposition Cambodia on the global tourism map.

The Cambodia Tourism Board (CTB) and Phare Ponleu Selpak, a Guinness World Record holder, have announced a strategic partnership around the 13th edition of the Tini Tinou International Circus Festival, set for November 2026 in Siem Reap and Battambang.

Off the coast of the Gulf of Thailand, a teardrop-shaped island holds centuries of rivalry, colonial line-drawing, and quiet diplomacy. Today a Vietnamese tourist paradise, Phú Quốc still carries, beneath its white-sand beaches, the layered history of a territory once claimed by two nations.

The museum devoted to Cambodia's economic and monetary history confirms its status as one of Phnom Penh's must-see attractions, buoyed by fast-growing visitor numbers and a programme that shows no sign of slowing down.

Angkor has its temples, Sihanoukville its beaches, and Cambodia, every year, its parade of visitors from Europe. They don't all look alike. An attempt at classification, with no scientific pretensions, drawn from patient observation in the markets, in tuk-tuks, and by the poolside.

A chronicle of a conservation expedition in northeastern Cambodia, where science occasionally gave way to olfactory marketing. A true story — names have been changed to protect the anonymity (and dignity) of those involved.

For one weekend, Sara and Cindy swapped the bustle of Phnom Penh for the calm of Templation, about ten minutes from downtown Siem Reap. On the agenda: one night in a pool villa, another in the famous Jungloo, surrounded by beautiful exotic greenery. Here's what they thought.
