Traveling is quite complicated in recent months, almost impossible to some destinations, so sit back and come and walk from the comfort of your home on the beautiful beaches and majestic temples. The most interesting awaits you in the Angkor Wat complex and the walled city of Angkor Thom. We will also visit the Royal Palace in the capital. It sounds unbelievable, but if you meet the king here, you will speak Czech with him. Norodom Sihamoni studied in Prague. Unfortunately, not all trips around Cambodia are pleasant, but it is part of exploring the countries. So let's take a look at the Museum of Genocide.
