The Kingdom of Cambodia, or more commonly known as just Cambodia, is a country in the Southeast Asia. It borders Thailand to the West and Northwest, Laos to the Northeast, Vietnam to the East, and the Gulf of Thailand to the Southwest.
Cambodia has an area of 181, 035 square kilometres and a population of over 14 million people. Their citizens are usually identified as "Cambodian" or "Khmer". About 20 percent of the land is used for agricultural purposes. The capital city of Cambodia is Phnom Penh.
Cambodia is most popular for Angkor Wat, the country's most popular tourist attraction. Angkor Wat is also a World Heritage Site.
Angkor Wat was made by the Khmer kings in a process that lasts almost 4 centuries. Its magnificent area was then abandoned and hidden by the forest till about 150 years ago, when a French man discovered it. Angkor Wat was then ready to become one of the most visited archaeological and artistic site on the planet.
