I think it's great that Cambodia is starting to be thought of in this way. It's about time.

With the Khmer Rouge era starting to take more of a back seat (I mean that respectfully. I know that the legacy of the atrocities still have a big effect on the lives of many Khmers) - then the terrible reputation it received (and still does to a certain extent) from the worldwide media thanks to the likes of Garry Glitter and other sick nonces like him, (although to be fair, perhaps some of the criticism at the time was justified) - I think that Cambodia deserves a bit of a break in the worldwide-bucket-list scheme of things.

It has its issues, but it also has a lot going for it. I've had friends and family come to visit me for holidays during the time I've lived here and they've loved it (I've kinda deliberately kept them away from some of the less desirable parts shall we say) but it's high time it was thought of a legitimate destination for tourists, digital nomads, thrill seekers, party animals and those just looking for a nice isolated tropical island to relax on for a week or so.
