Six more provinces are scheduled to be declared landmine free in 2023, including Kampong Speu, Kratie, Kampong Thom, Siem Reap, Mondulkiri, and Ratanakkiri provinces, after 12 provinces were previously declared mine free.

Senior Minister Ly Thuch, First Deputy Chairman of the Mine Authority, said in a press conference on the morning of July 18, that for more than 30 years, Cambodia has been very successful in clearing mines on more than 2,794 square meters with millions of munitions, including more than 1 million anti-personnel bombs (1,177,000), more than 26,000 anti-tank mines, which left more than 60,000 people affected by explosive remnants of war.

More than 4 million explosive remnants have been found by the mine authorities over the past 30 years and have been completely destroyed while 2,794 square kilometers have been handed over to farmers.

Senior Minister said that so far, 12 provinces have been declared mine free, while in 2023, the mine free status will increase to 18 provinces.

Among the provinces announced, some provinces have received the support of the Prime Minister’s project, called “Providing Safe Ground, Creating Smiles” project, up to 3,663 rounds of ammunition were found, including 50 mines and 7,000 unexploded ordnance, and nearly 200,000 people were affected.

The remaining 358 square kilometres of landmines are minefields to be cleared in the upcoming seventh mandate; cluster munitions cover about 700 square kilometres; and explosive remnants of war cover about 500 square kilometres. The mine authority plans to clear 358 square kilometres, which requires $78 million.

The senior minister confirmed that the results of demining from 1992 to June 2023 under the auspices of Australia, Japan, the United States, Britain, Germany, Switzerland, Norway, China, Ireland, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, Hungary, India, Canada, the United Nations, the EU, Spain, Sweden, Austria, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Hungary and Denmark, as well as civil society organizations, the private sector and philanthropists.

Ta Prohm

Ta Prohm is the modern name for the temple at Angkor. There are 72 major temples in the Angkor area, located in Cambodia in the Siem Reap province. The Ta Prohm Temple was built in the late 12th and early 13th centuries. The temple became a Mahayana Buddhist monastery and university, which was founded by the Khmer King, Jayavarman VII, who dedicated Ta Prohm to his mother. Ta Prohm is a traditional Khmer structure consisting of a series of gradually smaller enclosures, with the center tower connecting the smaller towers through passageways. The site was home to more than 12,500 people in the late 12th century, with a population of 800,000 in the surrounding villages. The temple was modified after King Jayavarman VII’s death and later modified by Hindu and Theravada Buddhist kings in accordance with their religious beliefs. The temple was abandoned after the fall of the Khmer Empire in the 17th century. Restoration to conserve the temples of Angkor began in the early 21st century, but it was decided that Ta Prohm would be left in its ruined state. The jungle surrounding the temple merged with the ruins, giving it a new overall appeal to the tourists who frequent the temple. Although the ruins are bound by massive roots from the fig, silk-cotton, and kapok trees, the area was stabilized to make the temple accessible to tourists, which was necessary since Ta Prohm is Angkor’s most visited temple. Ta Prohm was inscribed by UNESCO and placed on the World Heritage list in 1992. The temple includes 260 statues of gods, 39 towers with pinnacles, and 566 different residences. Lara Croft: Tomb Raider was filmed there.

Angkor King Jayavarman VII is depicted with his hair tied in a bun, engaged in deep meditation. Closed eyes, a smile illuminating his face: the serene expression of King Jayavarman evokes compassion. This is the face of a king who felt that the sufferings of his people were his own suffering and who built an extensive network of hospitals to take care of his people. A fervent Mahayana Buddhist, he placed Buddha and Lokeshvara at the top of a pantheon in which Hindu gods were also largely represented. He was king of the Khmer Empire in present day Siem Reap, the capital city of Siem Reap Province in northwestern Cambodia. It is the gateway to the Angkor region.

from the UNESCO World Heritage site:

Angkor (in Cambodia’s northern province of Siem Reap) is one of the most important archaeological sites of Southeast Asia. It extends over 400 square km and consists of scores of temples, hydraulic structures (including basins, dykes, reservoirs, and canals), and communication routes.

For several centuries Angkor was the center of the Khmer Kingdom. With impressive monuments, several different ancient urban plans, and large water reservoirs, the site has a unique concentration of features testifying to an exceptional civilization. Temples such as Angkor Wat, the Bayon, Preah Khan, and Ta Prohm are exemplars of Khmer architecture, and they are closely linked to local history and imbued with symbolic significance.

With its rich history and warm hospitality, this Southeast Asian gem offers a wide range of experiences to suit every traveler’s interests. Whether you’re drawn to its cultural heritage, natural beauty, or adventurous spirit, Cambodia has it all.

Here’s Travel Sense Asia’s guide to the Top 10 Things to Do in Cambodia.

1. Discover the Timeless Charm of Angkor Archaeological Park

No trip to Cambodia is complete without exploring the Angkor Archaeological Park near Siem Reap. Spanning over 400 square kilometers, this UNESCO World Heritage Site showcases the grandeur of the Khmer Empire.

At the heart of the park is Angkor Wat, an architectural masterpiece celebrated for its intricate carvings and spiritual ambiance. Witnessing the sunrise over its majestic spires is an unforgettable experience. Other must-see temples include Bayon, with its iconic stone faces, and Ta Prohm, where ancient ruins merge seamlessly with towering trees.

Insider Tip: Start your visit early to avoid crowds and enjoy the cool morning air.

2. Experience Life on Tonlé Sap Lake

Tonlé Sap Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia, is an ecological and cultural treasure. Its floating villages, like Kampong Phluk, offer a glimpse into a way of life deeply connected to the water. A boat tour will take you past stilted homes, floating markets, and vibrant ecosystems.

3. Explore Phnom Penh’s Rich History and Culture

Phnom Penh, Cambodia’s bustling capital, is a city of contrasts where tradition meets modernity. Begin your exploration at the Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda, stunning examples of Khmer architecture. The National Museum provides further insights into Cambodia’s artistic and historical heritage.

To understand the country’s recent past, visit the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum and the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek. These sites serve as poignant reminders of the resilience of the Cambodian people.

In the evening, stroll along the riverside promenade and enjoy the lively atmosphere of cafes, restaurants, and night markets.

4. Relax on Cambodia’s Gorgeous Beaches

Cambodia’s coastline is a haven for beach lovers. Sihanoukville serves as the gateway to idyllic islands such as:

Koh Rong: Known for its vibrant nightlife and bioluminescent waters.

Koh Rong Samloem: Perfect for those seeking peace and serenity.

These islands offer activities like snorkeling, diving, and simply basking in the sun.

5. Uncover Battambang’s Artistic and Historical Treasures

Battambang is a city that combines colonial charm with creative energy. A ride on the Bamboo Train offers a unique way to explore the countryside, while Phnom Sampeau provides stunning views and a look into Cambodia’s complex history.

The city’s vibrant arts scene is also worth exploring. Visit local galleries and workshops to learn about traditional crafts and contemporary Cambodian art.

6. Discover the Serenity of Kampot and Kep

Kampot’s riverside ambiance and lush countryside make it a favorite destination. Tour its renowned pepper plantations, or venture to Bokor National Park for misty mountains and historic ruins.

Nearby Kep is famous for its fresh seafood. Don’t miss the opportunity to savor crab dishes seasoned with Kampot pepper at the local market.

7. Connect with Nature in Mondulkiri and Ratanakiri

For nature enthusiasts, Cambodia’s northeastern provinces are a paradise. Mondulkiri offers ethical elephant sanctuaries where you can observe these majestic creatures in their natural habitat.

Ratanakiri is home to stunning landscapes, including the serene Yeak Laom crater lake and dramatic waterfalls. Trekking opportunities abound, and visits to indigenous communities provide insight into their unique traditions.

8. Visit the Remote Splendor of Preah Vihear Temple

Perched on a mountaintop near the Thai border, Preah Vihear Temple is a testament to Khmer architectural brilliance. Its remote location offers tranquility and sweeping views, making it a rewarding destination for history enthusiasts.

9. Explore Hidden Gems of Cambodia

Beyond the main attractions, Cambodia is full of lesser-known wonders. Banteay Chhmar, an isolated temple complex, captivates visitors with its intricate carvings and peaceful setting. In Kratie, you can spot rare Irrawaddy dolphins in the Mekong River and experience life in a charming river town.

10. Savor the Flavors of Cambodian Cuisine

Cambodian food is a delightful mix of fresh ingredients and bold flavors. Must-try dishes include:

Amok Trey: A creamy fish curry steamed in banana leaves.

Lok Lak: Tender beef stir-fried and served with a tangy lime-pepper sauce.

Nom Banh Chok: A beloved noodle dish served with a fragrant green curry.

For a true culinary adventure, explore the bustling food markets of Phnom Penh or Siem Reap.
