10 Most Instagrammable Spots in Cambodia

The iconic shot: Angkor Wat's five towers reflected perfectly in the western moat at sunrise. Arguably the most photographed monument in Southeast Asia.

Massive silk-cotton tree roots consuming ancient stone doorways. The most atmospheric shots are at the famous "doorway with roots" in the inner courtyard.

Glowing blue plankton in the dark water creates a magical otherworldly effect. Best during new moon with no artificial light.

216 serene stone faces gazing in every direction. The best compositions frame a single face against blue sky or capture the "face-to-face" moment between two statues.

The Praek Tuek Chhu river turns gold during sunset, with the colonial-era buildings and fishing boats creating a painterly scene.

A crescent of white sand with impossibly turquoise water. Best captured from the hillside trail between the two bays for a stunning overview.

The golden-roofed throne hall and surrounding gardens create a striking composition. The Silver Pagoda's emerald Buddha adds another dimension.

Houses, schools, and markets floating on the lake create surreal compositions. The light through stilt houses at golden hour is magical.

Colorful crab baskets, cooking fires, and ocean-front dining platforms create a vibrant scene of daily Cambodian life against a coastal backdrop.

Riding a makeshift bamboo platform on colonial-era railway tracks through rice paddies. The motion blur and rural scenery make compelling shots.
