Angkor Wat is the most famous temple in Cambodia and one of the largest religious monuments in the world. It is located 7km north of Siem Reap town and is the symbol of Cambodian culture and national pride. The temple even appears on the Cambodian flag.

History

Angkor Wat was built in the early 12th century during the reign of King Suryavarman II. It was originally constructed as a Hindu temple dedicated to the god Vishnu. Later, it gradually became a Buddhist temple, which it remains today.

- 10% of the profits from this book will be donated to orphans in Cambodia.

I donated well to some poor villagers in Cambodia.

Cambodia has gone through many difficult periods in history. During the war, Vietnam, under its communist government, helped liberate Cambodia from the Khmer Rouge regime. However, the conflict continued for many years, and alot of young men were recruited into the army.

Because of the war, my father lost his dad when he was still very young and became an orphan. My grandmother never remarried because she wanted to dedicate her life to raising and taking care of my father and his older brother. Like many Cambodian families, they experienced hardship, sacrifice, and the struggle to survive after the war.

Today, education in Cambodia is officially equal for both men and women. However, if we compare the percentage of men and women receiving higher education or working in professional careers, women are still fewer in number. There are many reasons for this:

In traditional culture, many parents do not want their daughters to move far away from home for higher education.

Women are often expected to become housewives and take care of children, elderly parents, cooking, and family responsibilities, even when they are educated.

Employment opportunities for women are still lower compared to men.

The unemployment rate remains high.

Many women are shy or afraid to participate in social or professional work.

As a female tour guide and tour organizer, I understand these challenges very well. This is one reason why I am proud to work in tourism and support both female and male guides in Cambodia.

My services are prepared with the needs of all travelers in mind. I try to provide exciting, inspiring, flexible, and memorable tours for independent travelers, couples, families, and groups.

My colleagues and I are always ready to assist with sightseeing, transportation, and activities throughout Cambodia. I also welcome feedback from travelers because I always want to improve my services.

When I am not available, I promise to recommend one of my trusted female or male guides from my team to assist you in my place.

Everything I do comes from passion, honesty, and care for my country. I truly love supporting the local economy and tourism industry of Cambodia.
