Is it a fantastic dream? Most people who visit
Cambodia fly directly into Siem Reap, look at the temples of Ankor and leave. By entering at the coast close to the
Thai border and exiting overland at Poipet, I was able to see quite a bit of the country in April 2000. The coast is
rife with deserted beaches, and the countyside itself is enchanting. This country has pulled itself brilliantly out of three
decades of war and famine. The temples themselves cannot disappoint. Nor have they lost their magnificence over the last thousand
years!
