Spreading over and past the banks of the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers, the capital city of Cambodia is home to over two million people – nearly 15% of the country’s population. Cambodia’s diverse cultural influences combine in these waters, from the colonial architecture of the one-time French rulers to the golden-roofed palace of the current royal family. The streets bustle with traffic, pedestrians sharing space with the chaotic flow of scooters, tuk tuks and motorbikes as the city grows. Step away from the shiny new skyscrapers with a visit to Kompong Chhnang, where a short boat trip will take you to a floating village where houses bob peacefully on the waters of the Tonle Sap.
