Cambodia is an exotic and mysterious country that attracts crowds of tourists every year. There are so many interesting places, which will take a lot of time to see.
Car rental in Cambodia
Renting a car in Cambodia will not require large financial costs from you. Formally, the lease agreement requires the same documents as in other civilized countries: passport, driving license and credit card. The main difference: in Cambodia, an international driver's license is not valid, you need to obtain a temporary driving permit. But in reality, locals can give you a car without proper documents.
You can describe traffic on the roads in one word - chaos. In cities, there are very few traffic lights, markings, and generally any road signs, in addition to everything else, local residents completely "forget" about observing the rules of the road. The quality of the road surface is poor. And if you decide to plunge into the life of the country headlong - driving a rented car is definitely the best choice. But it is still wiser to rent a car with a driver.
Taking a car for rent, you will be obliged to sign a contract in which you agree to pay the full cost of repairing the car in case of breakdown and accident, as well as to fully compensate for damage in case of car theft. Unfortunately, such measures are fully justified. Therefore, do not leave your car unattended and use paid parking whenever possible. Moreover, the price for these services is not high.
What to see in Cambodia
- Most tourists come to the country to see with their own eyes the majestic ruins of Angkor. This is a huge territory, completely covered with the ruins of ancient temples with the remains of ancient drawings.
- Floating villages are no less interesting. On Tonle Sap Lake, wooden houses are located right on the water, such is Venice in Cambodia. Looking at these slums, it is difficult to imagine that people live here and travel to work and school in small boats.
- Cambodia's capital Phnom Penh is an amazing place where dusty new buildings intertwine with colonial-style buildings, a reminder of the French. You can also enjoy breakfast here with a croissant and a cup of coffee.
Do not forget to buy souvenirs for your family and friends. The most popular are Cambodian silk, pottery, Buddha figurines, a cotton scarf "krama" and the famous Cambodian pepper, which is purchased by all famous restaurants in the world.
A trip to Cambodia, no doubt, will leave a mark on your soul, make you think about the meaning of life. And exotic nature and virgin beaches will be remembered forever.
