Cambodia’s Angkor Wat Tops the World’s List Thrice
Cambodia’s Angkor Wat Tops the World’s List Thrice
The famous Angkor Wat Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the symbol of Cambodia, was crowned champion in three different competitions conducted by world’s travel websites, according to a senior official of the Authority for the Protection and Management of Angkor and the Region of Siem Reap (APSARA).
According to Mr. Sok Sangvar, Deputy Director General of the APSARA Authority, the Temples of Angkor have recently won the No. 1 global must-see spot on the Lonely Planet’s Ultimate Travel List 2015 because it is the “perfect harmony of creative ambition and spiritual devotion.”
In the same year, he added, the Angkor Wat Temple, appearing on the Cambodian national flag, has been also crowned the No. 1 world landmark in the 2015 TripAdvisor Traveler’s Choice Landmarks Awards.
In 2014, Angkor Wat came out on top in a ArchaeoMadness competition organized by the Archeological Institute of America to mark the International Archeology Day, he underlined.
Mr. Sok Sangvar attributed Angkor Wat’s success to the efforts of the Royal Government of Cambodia, APSARA Authority, private sector and other relevant parties, as well as people and local and foreign tourists.
Located among the lush tropical forests of Cambodia, Angkor Wat was a 9th-15th century Khmer capital as well as an artistic and architectural icon. //Source: AKP,September 04, 2015 Read more...

More About Neak Loeurng Bridge:
Neak Loeung bridge,located in Kandal province about 60 kilometers from Phnom Penh capital through National Road (NR) No. 1, the construction of the bridge of 2,215 meters long and its approach road with the length of 3,100 meters cost some 119.4 million Japanese Yen, equivalent to US$127 million. Neak Loeurng bridge put into official use on April 6, 2015 under the presidency of Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia.According to a press release of the Embassy of Japan, Tsubasa Bridge(Neak Loeurng bridge) will link not only NR.1 at both sides of the Mekong River, but also all countries in the region. It will make the road have enough capacity to support transportation in the region and to meet the policy on the connection of the ASEAN Highways or GMS Highways. It is expected to significantly contribute to promoting economic growth/changes and livelihood development of citizens living along the road through internal integration, and regional and global integration. The road and bridge play as a part of Asia and ASEAN Highway 1, which could grab the opportunity to increase revenue from the competition, trade, tourism, industry, agriculture, health, security, job opportunity, etc.
Furthermore, after the completion of the bridge, the travel time and transportation cost will be significantly reduced, which provide huge benefits to people and business activities not only for those living along the road and bridge, but also for all Cambodian people and ASEAN countries, it added.
Beside Tsubasa Bridge, Japanese government has also funded the construction of the Cambodia-Japan Friendship Bridge, or better known as Chroy Chongvar Bridge in Phnom Penh capital and the Kizona Bridge in Kampong Cham province.
In addition, Japanese government has been providing grant aids for construction of NR.1 from Phnom Penh to Neak Loeung, which three stages (Stage 1, 2, & 3) were already completed and the remaining Stage 4 (4 kilometers) will start the construction soon, expectedly from this April 2015, pointed out the press release.
Japanese government also provides ODA Loan to upgrade NR.5 from Prek Kdam to Poipet and Sihanoukville Port Multi-purpose Terminal Development, and commenced Feasibility Study for the Expressway Construction from Phnom Penh to Bavet, it concluded. //By C. Nika,Source: AKP

Welcome to Cambodia: Visiting Cambodia by Road
Welcome to Cambodia: Visiting Cambodia by Road
As you already knew some information about visiting Cambodia by plane, here this post, I would like to share some information about visiting Cambodia by road.
This post would be some help for you if you decide to visit Cambodia by road...
As you know, Cambodia is sharing border with Thailand, Vietnam and Laos, so you can travel to Cambodia by road from Thailand, Vietnam or Laos.
Visiting Cambodia From Thailand
All six international border crossings are open 7 AM to 8 PM and all have visa-on-arrival facilities at the Cambodian immigration checkpoints. On the Thai side, there are good paved roads to all 6 crossings. There are no direct bus services from Thailand that cross the border, but there are buses to all crossings except Chong Sa-Ngam. On the Cambodian side, more basic and less frequent bus services are available from Poipet and Koh Kong.
The busiest land crossing into Cambodia, and the most convenient for onward travel to Siem Reap and the Angkor Archaeological Park. Long the stuff of nightmares, the road has finally been paved all the way from the border to Sieam Reap and Phnom Penh.
Take a bus to Trat (transfer in Chanthaburi if necessary) and from there a minibus to the border. After crossing into Cambodia there are two possibilities - the once-daily boat to Sihanoukville (can be unpleasant in adverse weather), or else a minibus or taxi to either Sihanoukville or Phnom Penh.
To Siem Reap- Take the minibus from Surin bus station to the border. Once you cross the border, you are in the middle of nowhere,and there are not currently any buses direct from the border. A taxi can be hired for the 5 hour journey to Siem Reap, most of it very bumpy. However you will get a great and unique insight into rural Cambodian life away from tourist areas. Be warned, this journey can be difficult during the rainy season. The road from the Chong Sa-Ngam crossing is now sealed and it is a comfortable 2hour taxi ride into Siem Reap. However you should pre-order a taxi in Siem reap to meet you at the border. $40/45
Visiting Cambodia From Vietnam:
- From Ho Chi Minh City to Phnom Penh: Ticket prices usually range from ~US$8-12. Bus passengers will be asked to vacate the vehicle at both the Vietnamese and Cambodian checkpoints. At this crossing only one passport photo is required for a Cambodian visa.
Mekong Express and MaiLinh Bus companies are the most reliable and reputable businesses operating on this route.
It can be interesting to join a Mekong Delta tour (2-3 days) that travels between the two cities; the total cost is about US$25-35 for three days.
- From Ho Chi Minh City to Siem Reap: Mai Linh Taxi Company in Ho Chi Minh City provides bus from Ho Chi Minh City to Siem Reap directly from beginning of 2007. The price is US$18.
- From Ho Chi Minh City to Kampong Cham: It is possible to cross at the Trapeang Phlong - Xa Mat border but as of now you have to organise your own transport.
- From Pleiku to Banlung: It is now possible to cross the border at O Yadaw near Pleiku. Cambodian visas are available on arrival. You can get a motorbike taxi to the border from Duc Co on the Vietnamese side, but there is no regular transport available on the Cambodian side. It maybe possible to hitch a ride with the border officials, though.
- From Xa Xia to Prek Chak : There is a (Cambodian) bus service from Ha Tien in Vietnam (where the ferry from the popular Phu Quoc island docks) to various destinations in Cambodia, including Sihanoukville and Phnom Penh. Cambodian visa on arrival.
Visiting Cambodia From Laos:
- From Voeung Kam, Laos to Dom Kralor, Cambodia: Onward transportation not regularly available. Cambodian visas available, but expect 1$ to 2$ of transaction fees on both sides of the border. Travel agencies on both sides have border crossing packages.
If you have more information about traveling to Cambodia by road, please feel free to drop your comments below...thanks...

Welcome to Cambodia: Water Festival 2011 Cancelled
Welcome to Cambodia: Water Festival 2011 Cancelled
Prime Minister Hun Sen yesterday announced that he had cancelled the annual Water Festival to preserve funds for addressing the effects of devastating floods that continue to sweep through the Kingdom.
Speaking at a special Council of Ministers meeting yesterday to assess damage from the flooding, the premier said that the annual three-day Water Festival celebrations next month, including the renowned boat races, would be cancelled and the money people saved could be used to aid flood recovery.
“Water levels are still higher than the warning levels in Phnom Penh and it would be a high-risk situation for boat racers and festival-goers,” Hun Sen said.
“Additionally, the suspension will save money in the national budget and allow us to divert funds that would be used for Water Festival preparations to provide assistance to flood victims.”
On the final day of last year’s Water Festival, 353 people were killed in a stampede on Phnom Penh’s Diamond Bridge. Council of Ministers spokesman Phay Siphan told the Post yesterday that Phnom Penh Municipality would coordinate commemorations to mark the disaster.
Yesterday, the premier told attendees at the meeting that flooding had destroyed more than 190,000 hectares of rice paddies, or 7.74 per cent of the total grown rice paddies, and affected another 390,000 hectares, or 16 per cent of the total rice paddies in the Kingdom.
Phay Siphan said that the death toll from the flooding had risen to 247, with 17 out of Cambodia’s 23 provinces suffering from its effects.
He added that despite widespread destruction of rice paddies, the government now had food security under control.
“Despite the high number of destroyed rice paddies, we will still have enough rice to meet exporting needs,” he said, adding that the government was positive that there would be enough rice production after the flooding receded to continue to ensure food security.
“We are trying to do what we can to look after the people,” he said.
Provincial governors have been instructed to remain in the provinces and are not permitted to travel until the flooding crisis eases, Phay Siphan said.
He also reasserted that the government did not need to call for international assistance to cope with the worst flooding to hit the Kingdom in more than a decade.
“We do not request international aid because everyone has their own problems,” he said. “It would be very difficult for us to request their help. For the time being donations and any charity are really appreciated.”
China, Singapore and the US have so far provided monetary and other donations to the Kingdom, Phay Siphan added. Vietnam has also contributed some assistance to Vietnamese communities in Cambodia and last week Japan donated a number of non-food emergency relief items.
Aid organisations have urged the government to call for international help to better coordinate the humanitarian response to the flooding.

Welcome To Cambodia: Birds Seen In Cambodia
Welcome To Cambodia: Birds Seen In Cambodia
The forests and floodplains of Cambodia form refuges for many threatened bird species that have been extirpated from much of their former range. These include critically endangered waterbirds like giant and white-shouldered ibis as well as three species of critically endangered vultures. Great opportunity for bird-watching.
The Masked Finfoot is globally endangered, with estimates of less than 2,500 left globally, due to human disturbance and habitat loss. This mysterious fellow is seen in Cambodia.
Birds at Angkor Center for Conservation of Biodiversity (ACCB)
Who is ACCB?
The organisations implementing the ACCB project, Münster Zoo and its partner organisation Zoological Society for the Conservation of Species and Populations (ZGAP), have a long professional involvement in Indochina. They were among the first conservation organisations to conduct surveys of endangered primate species in Vietnam. Both organisations, working independently and in cooperation, support conservation programmes in approximately 30 nations in Europe, Asia, Africa and South America, and work with local and international partners to address conservation issues and to promote sustainable natural resource management practices. The chairmen of both organisations, Mr H. Jörg Adler and Mr Roland Wirth, are members of several IUCN/ Species Survival Commission (SSC) Specialist Groups.
Münster Zoo has been implementing the World Zoo and Aquarium Conservation Strategy for many years. In situ conservation is considered as one of the zoo’s main missions. Consequently, it has been the first zoo in Germany to establish a cost unit for in situ conservation as well as a permanent position for a curator overseeing overseas projects.
Major financial support for the ACCB has so far been provided by Dr. Stephan Goetz from Munich, via the German foundation Stiftung Artenschutz, a joint initiative currently comprising 50 respected zoos and nature conservation organisations.
Since December 2009, the project is managed on site by the German biologist Markus Handschuh (who had been the Collection Manager of ACCB since January 2007) who is supported by the deputy project manager Alistair Mould since March 2010.
The ACCB permanently employs around 20 staff, most of which are Cambodian, in the fields of management, administration and conservation planning, environmental education and sustainable natural resource use, animal keeping, gardening/ site support team, and security. Additionally, temporary staff are hired as required for special projects.
Greater Adjutant (Leptoptilos dubius)The Greater Adjutant is a large stork reaching a body length of 145-150 cm with a wingspan of 250 cm. The plumage is black on the upper side of the wings and body, and whitish or light grey on the lower side. The pink neck and head are bald, adapted to life as a scavenger. Plumage on the head would quickly clog with blood and matter, a bald head is easier to keep clean. The yellow beak is long, thick and strong. Feeding not exclusively on carrion, the bird also eats small amphibians and reptiles. The Greater Adjutant inhabits tropical wetlands in South East Asia, breeding sites are however limited to Assam and Cambodia. The nests are built in trees; a clutch mostly consists of 2-4 eggs. Like other storks the species often forms colonies. Listed by the IUCN as endangered, this bird is mainly endangered by the loss of breeding places and the continuous loss of habitat.
Smaller than his relative, the Lesser Adjutant reaches a body length of 110-120 cm with a wingspan of 210 cm. His long, thick and lightly coloured beak is slightly thinner. The plumage is black on the upper side of the wings and body, and light grey on the lower side. In contrast to the Greater Adjutant this species does not have a white ruff at the base of the neck or a large neck pouch. It mainly feeds on fish, but also small amphibians, crustaceans, crickets and small rodents. Loss of breeding sites and the continuous destruction of habitats – tropical wetlands in South East Asia – resulted in this species being listed as vulnerable by the IUCN.
Various types of water birds are still common throughout the region and can be found in marshes, paddyfields, lakes, mud flats, pastures and mangroves. The long-legged Egrets and Herons catch fish, crabs and insects by stabbing them with their long pointed bills. Most ducks feed on vegetation in addition to small insects and aquatic organisms.
Different species of water birds, like Asian Openbill (Anastomus oscitans), Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis), Black-crowned Night Heron (Nycticorax nycticorax), Little Egret (Egretta garzetta) and Lesser Whistling-Duck (Dendrocygna javanica) are kept in the ACCB. Regularly hunted for human consumption, these birds can often be found for sale in local markets. Large scale hunting has substantially reduced the number of the larger species throughout the region.
There are two kinds of raptors in the ACCB: two species of kites, the Crested Serpent Eagle (Spilornes cheela) and the Brahminy Kite (Haliastur Indus), and on the other hand an owl species, the Collared Scops Owl (Otus lettia). Brahminy Kites are up to 50 cm big raptors, which live at rivers, lakes and paddyfields all over Southeast-Asia. They feed on crabs, snakes, fish, frogs, insects and also carrion.
The Green Peafowl is a large terrestrial bird that prefers open forest habitat such as dry deciduous forest with grassy understoreys and forest edges along ponds or rivers. In these habitats it can find its preferred foods of grain, seeds, shoots, buds, leaves, fruits, insects, frogs and lizards. Cambodia is one of the last strongholds of this species in the world. The status of the Green Peafowl in the Red List is vulnerable. The species’ decline is due to habitat destruction and hunting for their beautiful feathers, the birds themselves which are kept as pets, and their eggs.
Furthermore, another bird species is kept in the ACCB, the Red-breasted Parakeet (Psittacula alexandri). This species is divided into seven sub-species and widely distributed over Southeast-Asia. These birds often live in the vicinity of human settlements and in parks and feed on fruits, nuts, buds and leaves.
This post is credited to ACCB, the Angkor Center for Conservation of Biodiversity..Please support ACCB so that we can protect the birds in Cambodia!!!

Hun Sen, Cambodia PM Weeps for Koh Pich Stampede Dead
Phnom Penh, Cambodia, 25 November 2010: Hun Sen, Cambodia's prime minister has wept at the place where hundreds died during a shocking stampede, as the country began a day of mourning for victims.
Hun Sen shed tears while he lit incense and candles at the narrow diamond bridge where tens of thousands of festival-goers panicked, trampling hundreds underfoot, on Monday.
There has been confusion over the exact number of deaths. The latest official casualty tally from the incident was 347 dead and 395 injured, down from earlier official figures.
The premier was joined at the Bassac River in the capital Phnom Penh by his wife Bun Rany and cabinet members. Flags throughout the country were flying at half-mast and a Buddhist ceremony was being held...

Do You Want to Research Enigmatic Angkor Girls???
Do You Want to Research Enigmatic Angkor Girls???
I think You also want to research the enigmatic of Angkor girls. How they are???
Apsara Angkor WatRead out the below:
Sleuth researches enigmatic Angkor girls
Michigan State University worked with Davis to devise a mathematical trait analysis system to be used at Angkor Wat.
Michigan State University worked with Davis to devise a mathematical trait analysis system to be used at Angkor Wat.
FLORIDA-based researcher, publisher and robot manufacturer Kent Davis is rapidly gaining an international reputation as the sleuth of Siem Reap, a new age detective delving into what he sees as one of the greatest mysteries of ancient Angkor Wat – the 1780 images of anonymous and mostly bare-breasted women depicted in carvings throughout the iconic structure.
Commonly known as apsaras (or, as Davis prefers, devatas), these female images were mostly accorded little significance.
But Davis, a former resident of Siem Reap and a regular visitor to Temple Town, is sure he’s onto something. He’s sure that these women represent something decidedly significant, but he’s not quite sure what.
Who are they, he asks, and why are there so many of them depicted throughout the great Khmer temple, not to mention other temples in the Angkorian complex?
Davis is now bristling with excitement because he has science on his side, and he’s certain that soon some answers will be revealed.
Davis himself is somewhat of a mystery man and his various recent biographies reveal little about his earlier life.
But on his LinkedIn profile he simply lists his education as “Maharishi University of Management 1974-1978”.
The profile also says that in May 2009 he became an executive board member of Heritage Watch International and that in 1979 he founded RoboMedia Inc, which “has used high visibility robot celebrities to market products and services. The ‘Electronic Personalities’ robots have fascinated Europeans and North Americans with tens of thousands of live performances”.
But the bio that Davis gave 7Days dealt only with his Cambodian period. In 2005, he began travelling to the Kingdom with his Thai wife Sophaphan Laothai, who he describes as “the Thai Martha Stewart”.
In 2007 the duo funded the construction of Srei Devata Middle School in Baray, Kompong Thom, through American Assistance for Cambodia.
Shortly after, Davis established DatAsia Press to publish significant literary, academic and educational works relating to Southeast Asian
and Khmer history.
The company also publishes a specialised “life skills” curricula for elementary school children called The Million Dollar Machine.
The vigorous little publishing house has released three interesting Angkor-related books: Dr Paul Cravath’s Earth in Flower: Mystery of the Cambodian Dance Drama; Helen Churchill Candee’s Angkor the Magnificent: Wonder City of Ancient Cambodia;
and a newly completed expanded edition of George Groslier’s 1913 book, Cambodian Dancers Ancient and Modern, featuring the first printed biography of the author.
Davis also set up Devata.org to study the “goddess” images at Angkor Wat to determine the historical role of Khmer women, and later this year will publish a book on this topic titled, Daughters of Angkor Wat.
Davis said the primary objective of his work “is completing a quantitative database of every woman honoured at Angkor Wat by tracking 65 characteristics for each carving. This will enable, for the first time in modern history, mathematical trait analysis among the entire complex population”.
To this end, in 2008 Davis initiated a cooperative facial pattern recognition study with Dr Anil Jain and his team at Michigan State University’s Department of Computer Science and Engineering.
Last week Davis issued a press release announcing that initial findings will be revealed by the MSU team on August 22 during the International
Conference on Pattern Recognition in Istanbul, Turkey.
Davis hails this as “the release of the world’s first scientific study of the devata, titled Clustering Face Carvings: Exploring the Devata of Angkor Wat”.
In Davis’s press release, he says, “Scientists at this year’s International Conference on Pattern Recognition will be considering one particularly captivating mystery: Who are the beautiful women portrayed in the 12th century temple of Angkor Wat?
“Angkor Wat contains the most extraordinary ancient portrait gallery in the world, and every subject honoured is a woman.”
Davis wraps up the release by saying, “Ultimately, this objective comparison tool could enhance anthropological, sociological and historical understanding of this and other ancient civilisations. With this new study, the ignored ancient women of Angkor Wat are one step closer
to claiming their royal status in world history.”
But not all archaeologists share Davis’s enthusiasm for the theory.
In February 2009, the Phnom Penh Post featured a news story about the involvement of Michigan State University in Davis’s research and few days later the Southeast Asian Archaeology Newsblog, responding to the Post’s article, carried an item saying, “His theory is that because of the thousands of apsara images that adorn the walls of the temples, Angkor was built to glorify women. Does it sound like a Da-Vinci-Code-sacred-feminine flavour transposed onto the Southeast Asian context to you?
“Of course, we should just ignore the architecture, the royal inscriptions and historical accounts that suggest that buildings of Angkor were temples
to Khmer gods.”
This sparked a spirited thread of comments from readers including a comment from someone called Nemi who said Davis’s theory was a “little bit like saying that the Playboy mansion is a tribute to women”.
Davis, of course, weighed in with a 2150-word defence of this theory.
And really, who can knock him? He’s a fascinating man with a fascinating theory, and whether he can prove it is open to question. But he’s touched on an aspect of the temples which, to date, has been mostly overlooked, and he’s at least created an interesting debate.
