The Kingdom of Cambodia
Temples wrapped in nature’s embrace, ancient ruins that whisper tales of the past, and landscapes filled with untouched beauty — that’s what awaits you on one of our unforgettable Cambodia tours. This iconic Southeast Asian destination invites travelers to explore a land where history and heritage live on in every stone and story.
Nestled in the heart of the Indochina Peninsula, Cambodia — officially the Kingdom of Cambodia — shares its borders with Thailand to the northwest, Laos to the north, and Vietnam to the east. Thanks to its close proximity, many of our curated Vietnam and Cambodia tour packages are designed to offer the best of both countries in one seamless journey.
From relaxing on Cambodia’s scenic beaches to indulging in flavorful local cuisine, every moment here is a sensory delight. Yet, Cambodia offers far more than natural beauty and tropical weather. Its rich and complex history — from the glory of the Khmer Empire to the resilience of its people — adds depth and meaning to every experience.
A trip to Cambodia is not just a vacation — it’s a journey through time, culture, and unspoiled charm. Let us help you make it the journey of a lifetime!
Where History is Timeless
Cambodia’s story begins deep in prehistory, with quartz tools discovered on the terraces of the Mekong River in Kampot province — early evidence of human settlement in this fertile land. Fast forward to 802 A.D., the powerful Khmer Empire was founded when King Jayavarman II declared independence from Java, drawing rich cultural and religious influences from India. Under his reign and successors, Cambodia saw the creation of iconic monuments such as Angkor Wat and the Bayon Temple, masterpieces of art, architecture, and devotion.
The spread of Theravada Buddhism, reintroduced by Sri Lankan emissaries, gradually replaced Hinduism and Mahayana Buddhism as the dominant religion. However, this golden age was not without challenges. The Mongol Empire under Kublai Khan invaded Angkor, contributing to the decline of the Khmer Empire.
In the 19th century, Cambodia became a French colony, a period that deeply influenced its urban planning and culture. Following independence in the mid-20th century, the country endured years of war and hardship. Finally, in 1993, the monarchy was restored, and Cambodia emerged as a constitutional monarchy officially known as the Kingdom of Cambodia.
Today, Cambodia is a nation of resilience and wonder. Many of the ancient temples and historical landmarks are featured in our Cambodia tour packages, offering a glimpse into the grandeur of the past. Our expert local guides ensure that every journey is not only scenic and enriching — but also deeply meaningful.
When Should You Visit Cambodia?
Throughout Cambodia, you’ll discover lush jungles, vibrant green forests, and tranquil rivers that flow gently through the landscape. While the weather remains humid and warm year-round, this tropical climate only enhances the country’s serene and inviting atmosphere.
Cambodia experiences two major seasons: the dry season and the wet season. The dry season, lasting from November to May, is marked by minimal rainfall and comfortable temperatures ranging from 77°F (25°C) to 86°F (30°C). This period is considered the peak tourist season, perfect for exploring the beaches, ancient temples, and enjoying a variety of outdoor activities.
The wet season, from May to October, brings refreshing rains that transform the landscape into a vibrant green paradise. While occasional showers are common, this season offers a unique charm — from rain-kissed temples to lush horizons — making it a magical time for nature lovers and photographers seeking calm and vivid scenery.
At Focus X Travel, we understand that every traveler is unique. That’s why we specialize in customizable tours and packages, allowing you to experience Cambodia in a way that perfectly suits your interests, whether you prefer the lively dry season or the enchanting wet season.
