For some reason, this article seems a bit out of touch with reality and out of date. I think it's the word "pristine" that jars, particularly when associated with Cambodian rain forests. (Not to mention the beaches.)

For many people, Cambodia means Angkor Wat and its magical temples. But 2018 should be the year we discover that there’s so much more to the country: pristine rainforests, a mighty slice of the Mekong River, villages untouched by the 21st century and palm-fringed golden beaches...

Pristine Cambodia ?????????

But if you go to the "pristine rain forests" beware of the treacherous forest spirit, which appears as a naked man wielding a sword.

villages untouched by the 21st century...but everyone has an iPhone

tigers in the main street, danger of running into KR everywhere, landmines in every restaurant

pristine beachs ....

I call bullshit.

"...villages untouched by the 21st century" MEANS POVERTY

No link here, because it takes you to advertising, and says sign up here with The Times if you want to read more. You can always go to the Times site and register or subscribe.
