Answer 9

I have been to Cambodia and the North of Vietnam.

Vietnam is so friendly, beautiful and great value for the dollar. I love the place. I recommend you go there.

Cambodia is for a seasoned traveler. Siem Reap is amazing with the Angkor Wat ruins, but it is touristy.

Pnom Penh is a tough visit though. The war only ended about 15 years ago and the recovery has been amazing, but the shadows of the war are prevalent. The most obvious being the amputees and then the fact that you see no old people.

Check out the vehicles there. If you have had a car, truck, or SUV stolen, you just might see it drive by there.
