Ratanakiri
Ratanakiri is true wilderness country, home to several minority hill tribes with fascinating cultures. While Stung Treng is the overland gateway to Laos, Banlung is well off the beaten track, and only those wishing to see the stunning Yaklom Crater lake, or the unspoiled Virachay National Park visit the area.
Kratie
Kratie is one of the few places in the world where freshwater Irrawaddy dolphins can still be seen in the wild. Kratie is usually visited on the way to or from Mondulkiri due to the extended travel times in this region.
Mondulkiri
Mondulkiri is a place to forget about the fast-paced "civilized" world. It is a region of plantations, waterfalls and forest, minority ethnic groups, and great venue for Elephant trekking. Expect to spend several days traveling and visiting.
Skuon
Skuon is a small town on the Siem Reap-Phnom Penh road, with a big claim to culinary fame - its inhabitants love friedn tarantula spiders. Stop on your road transfer, to see or sample!
Sambor Prei Kuk
Sambor Prei Kuk is a small collection of older temples north of Kampong Thom, that is little-visited now that the Siem Reap-Phnom Penh road has been improved.
Kep & Kampot
Kep and Kampot are places to relax on the coast. With good beaches close by, outstanding seafood and produce, and a sleepy atmosphere, this is a popular stop for those wishing to relax at the end of their Cambodian vacation.
Sihanoukville
Sihanoukville is one of the few beach towns in Southeast Asia which is a destination for both locals and tourists (and ex-pats!). Livelier than Kep or Kampot, with hotels right on the beaches.
Koh Kong
Koh Kong is the new ecotourism destination. You may have to rough it to see some areas, although new "eco-lodges" are opening up, some of high standard. Several days are needed to travel and see the forests and waterfalls of this region.
Battambang
Visitors staying much longer than a week should consider visitng Battamabng on their journey between Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. In season, travel by boat, ride the famous bamboo train or just relax in a much less touristy or hectic city.
Banteay Chhmar
Banteay Chhmar, close to the Western Thai border, is a rarely visited temple that is truely impressive. Imagine Angkor Wat, Preah Khan and Bayon, put into one site, with fewer than 1000 visitors a year - at the moment.
Koh Ker
Koh Ker is a sprawling temple complex, now less than three hours travel from Siem Reap. Sometimes visited as a day or overnight trip from Siem Reap, particularly for keen photographers, or on return from Preah Vihear.
Preah Vihear
Preah Vihear is on the Northern (disputed) Thai border. A stunning temple, in a magnificent cliff-top setting, rising hundreds of metres above the Cambodian plains.
