Cambodia
A search for information about Cambodia on the web yields hundreds of results, many of them of questionable quality. The information below has been carefully selected and includes summaries so that you can concentrate on just the information you want.
In a trip that starts in a truck whose wheels fall off, down roads
with meter-deep pot-holes full of garbage and water, Bernhard Heiser
takes us on an unforgettable, marvellously written and beautifully
illustrated trip from Bangkok to Angkor Wat and beyond. The photographs
are excellent and the text really captures the feeling of the trip.
If you have ever wondered what Camodia is like, you must visit this site:

In a web site somewhat intimidatingly titled "Investigations of the
Angkor Architecture", Baku F. Saito presents some extraordinary photographs.
The link below takes you to the first set of photos. If you return
to the site's home page, you will have to scroll to the bottom of the page
to find the links to further photographs, but I highly recommend it. The first set of photos is on:

"Recognized by it's graceful, elegant gestures (kbach) and elaborate
costumes, this beautiful dance form has come to embody the historical
traditions and values of Khmer throughout the world". This site richly
illustrated and well written, takes us on a journey of discovery of
this dance, its history and its modern relevance.
"Bandits, corrupt cops, hottentots, we'd inevitably be kidnapped
and sold for scrap. Now, of course, I realized that this was an
absurd overreaction on my part." And Andy goes on to describe, in his
inimitable style and with superb photographs, an interesting (and safe)
trip to Angkor. You can almost smell the Cambodian air. A site worth visiting.
The number of languages listed for Cambodia is 19. Of those,
all are living languages. They range from Central Khmer,
spoken by 6 million people, to Samre, spoken by 200. The full list, and explanations, can be found on the Ethnologue Site
For comprehensive information on Cambodia you will find the best source is the the ConnectedGlobe Cambodia page which will guide you through the most useful information available.
There are many good books on Cambodia and I haven't read them all. However, I do recommend The Treasures and Pleasures of Vietnam and Cambodia: Best of the Best in Travel and Shopping (Impact Guides)
 . For a wide range of other books on Cambodia click here.
