"I enjoy introducing visitors to my Khmer ancestor's ancient temples and showing people the culture and daily life of Cambodian people... People should visit my country because it is rich in nature, culture, and history, [including] the old civilization of Angkor, as well as the complicated political history, such as the recent tragic history of the killing fields under Pol Pot of the Khmer Rouge Regime.”

One of my absolute favourite parts of the tour is seeing the orangutans in their natural habitat - its such a special experience, truly a once in a lifetime moment that I feel grateful to share.
