Phnom Penh Panorama

By: Thomas E King

The Chanchhaya Pavilion is part of the massive Royal Palace complex. (Right) The French-built Central market is popular with visitors. (Far Right) Phnom Penh was named after Wat Phnom.

        During its pre 1970 glory days, Phnom Penh was known as the Paris of Asia.  Three decades of conflict stunted development but the resilient capital of Cambodia is regaining lost ground. 

Still offering broad tree lined boulevards flanked by elegant cream coloured villas, numerous architectural contributions drafted by French designers and a wide cornice fronting the Mekong River  this intriguing capital is again luring discerning visitors.

An illustrated feature on Phnom Penh can be written on assignment from 1000 to 2000 words, depending upon editorial requirements.  An emphasis will be made on the city's restoration efforts and intense development. 

A short ‘sidebar’ or a dedicated feature on Angkor Wat/Siem Reap can also be written.  In addition a dedicated feature can be written on golf tourism in Cambodia.
