Cambodia Handbook is an independent visitor guide created by the Cambodia Handbook team to help travelers understand Cambodia before they arrive and explore it with greater context once they are here.
What we cover
The Handbook connects practical travel planning with places, food, culture, history, heritage and nature. A destination guide should help with transport and timing, but it should also explain why a place matters, how it connects with its surroundings and how a visitor can approach it respectfully.
The Handbook covers all 25 provinces of Cambodia, including Phnom Penh, alongside guides to temples, history, culture, food, nature and everyday travel. It also includes a set of planning tools: a trip budget calculator, a best-month selector, a packing list builder, a festival calendar, a dish finder, Khmer phrase cards and a Khmer lunar calendar.
Who the Handbook is for
Our main readers are first-time and returning international visitors. We write in English, explain unfamiliar terms and avoid assuming that every traveler has the same budget, mobility, interests or previous knowledge of Southeast Asia.
How the site is developed
Cambodia Handbook is built as a connected collection rather than a stream of unrelated posts. Place guides lead to routes, cultural context, food, seasonal planning and practical preparation. We use public information, institutional material, conservation organizations and clearly identified external references where useful. Sources can disagree or become outdated, so readers should confirm time-sensitive details with the responsible provider or authority.
Independent and still growing
The site is not a government publication and does not represent the Ministry of Tourism or any government agency. We welcome official resources and local expertise while retaining responsibility for our own editorial choices. We are still growing: every guide shows when it was last checked, and we publish our corrections openly.
