CambodiaStability has gradually returned to Cambodia since the democratic elections in 1993. Although still a poor country, it is largely peaceful and increasingly attractive to adventurers.

Sixty-six percent of its land is forests and woodland.Modest meals cost about $2 to $3. Fancier meals are about $10. Expect to pay around $10 a night for a decent room, although less-expensive accommodations are available.

Upscale hotels cost about $50 a night. (Riels are the official currency of Cambodia, but dollars are readily accepted, so you won't have to worry about doing long division in your head.)
Cambodia's intricate temples are awe-inspiring; the most famous are the Angkor ruins, the pinnacle of Khmer architecture.
