The article reflects the author's journey and deep appreciation for Southeast Asia, particularly Cambodia, since their first visit 30 years ago. Exploring beyond the popular Angkor Wat, the author visits lesser-known sites like the Twin Mountains, revealing Cambodia's dark history as a Killing Field under the Khmer Rouge. The author embarks on an eight-day cruise on the AmaDara ship along the Mekong River, highlighting the comforts and excursions that connect travelers with local culture and rural life, as the region rebounds from pandemic impacts.
"Cambodia does not hide its scars. But I have found no place more unconditionally welcoming. Many travelers don't explore much beyond Angkor Wat."
"My eight-day cruise on the AmaDara made it comfortable to navigate this still-rural part of Southeast Asia, filled with rich cultural experiences."
