As well as going for Angkor Wat, Phnom Penh is a must-see in Cambodia. Disturbing and enlightening, the Grand Palace is much more friendly and interesting than Bangkok's and the prison museum and killing fields are unforgettable and moving reminders of a country and people that have seen more than most in recent years. But please, please avoid the offers to fire a missile at a cow!
Phnom Penh is a day's journey from Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) or 4 hours on the boat from Siem Reap.
