We were recently, kindly invited by the Cambodian Ministry of Environment (MoE) and the World Bank to take part in a FAM trip to the South of Cambodia to explore and discuss Ecotourism, what is available and what are the opportunities going forward. It was great to be back on the road once again doing what we do best with like minded industry colleagues.

Cambodia’s most Instagrammable Beaches

When considering your options of visiting Southeast Asia for a holiday most people automatically think Thailand, a longtime popular destination for a bit of relaxation, or increasingly Vietnam, with its long coastline there is a large variety of stunning beaches to choose from. Most people however overlook Cambodia, nestled right in the middle. Cambodia is home to some beautiful white sandy beaches.

A Motorbike Adventure in the Cardamom Mountains of Cambodia

While the borders are closed to tourism, there is currently no better time to explore Cambodia (for those fortunate enough to remain here now, with very little by way of lockdown). There is nothing quite like being out on the open road on two wheels. Therefore I set off with a friend, a colleague, and a Cambodian specialist, Jake, on an adventure that would take us for a few days through the largely unexplored Cardamom Mountains to the coastal town of Koh Kong. Along the way we would pass stunning scenery, traverse some very rough trails, pass over mine fields (literally) and converse with friendly locals everywhere we stopped….but firstly we had to get into the mountains from our home base here in Siem Reap.
