Bino — Tue, 20 Jun 2023 02:50:14 +0000

Cambodia has perhaps been squarely identified with Angkor Wat that those who have not visited are hard pressed to find a different reason to come. For someone who used to be stuck with this mindset, it took me six long years before I made my second visit to Cambodia (my first one was to see...

Battambang: The Charming City You Skipped in Cambodia

Bino — Wed, 26 Oct 2016 14:25:04 +0000

For most travelers, a trip to Cambodia would involve an expedition into the Angkor temples.

The temples of Angkor and surrounds used to exude a strong sense of adventure and exoticness. Visitors were few and far between then.
