I have compiled this mini Cambodia travel guide after my trip in June 2026.

I realised that from a traveller’s perspective, Cambodia can be divided into 3 major travel zones:

1. Heritage and temples at Siem Reap
2. Nightlife, leisure and history in Phnom Penh
3. Tropical beaches of Koh Rong 

To cover all 3, you would need at least 9-10 days.

You can choose 2 of these or make an itinerary from the given spots according to your preferences and days at hand.
