Southeast Asia's most beguiling country, Cambodia ticks all the boxes for a real adventure with its temples, jungles, white-sand beaches and manic cities.

Footprint's fully revised and updated 6th edition Cambodia Handbook contains unparalleled coverage of its background, history and culture. This guidebook also provides detailed listings on where to eat, sleep and play and is the perfect travelling companion for anyone wanting to experience this fascinating country.

The guide opens with a colour section full of inspirational advice to help you plan your trip giving you a flavour of the best things to see and do. It includes suggested itineraries for a 1,2 or 4 week trip to ensure you see the best of what this exciting country has to offer. The guide then provides extensive, thoroughly researched information which will help you plan your trip as well as advising you on the ground. The Essentials section provides great advice on how to get there and how to get around as well as information on sleeping, eating, drinking and shopping giving you an idea of what you can expect to pay. The heart of the guide is broken in to the key regions with each regional section providing an overview map, local information on how to get around with transport and street maps where relevant, a short history of the region, thorough advice on what to see and do and a directory of key local information on banks, embassies, internet cafes and medical services. A selection of useful Khmer words and phrases are also included.

I have been an independent traveller for several decades, firstly relying on Lonely Planet, but have tired of these over the years as the guide to the actual countries are somewhat shallow and can be a tad alarmist.

I bought this book having seen no review, you can't count the previous one on this site!. It arrived today and I have been totally engrossed since opening the packing. It's information is very comprehensive, and just what you want to get a flavour of what to expect and where to get the things you want in a country and culture that you have not visited before. It is not aimed at any particular type or class of traveller, and doesn't talk down to the reader. The History and background to this fascinating country is well written, succinct and very useful. It covers all aspects of travel methods between the various towns and has answered questions thoroughly.
This was the first footprint book I have purchased, it doesn't have loads of glossy pictures - which don't tell you anything about the place you are going to visit. The site and town maps are very clear with a sensible usable key. I feel that , tho I haven't read half this book so far it has given me a good knowledge of how to get about Cambodia when I get there, in the way that has given me a good grounding of knowledge, so I can make the most of the time I have when I get there to see the things I want to see in the way I want to see them. It gives advice on methods of various organised itineries, as well as how to go about getting the best out of individual ideas for visits.

Highly recommended and I am now going to search the other guide books from this series.

The author of Cambodia Handbook, Andrew Spooner, is obviously not your ordinary writer of travel guides. He's a person who soaks up the various scenes in front of him and brings an acute sensibility to communicated what's there. Check out his take on Sihanoukville, not the usual fluff about sunshine, beaches and happy natives. This book gives you a real taste of Cambodia, the good, bad and the ugly.

As the money was taken out of my account and the book although it says it was dispatched never arrived I have a very poor opinion of this company and would advise other people not to deal with them.
