Cambodia's geographic coordinates are 13 00 N, 105 00 E.
Cambodia's terrain consists mainly of low plains, with mountains to the southwest and north.
Two dominant physical features of Cambodia are the Mekong river, which runs from north to south of the country, and the Tonlé Sap Lake.
Natural resources include oil and gas, timber, gemstones, iron ore, manganese, phosphates, hydropower potential.
Population
Cambodia's population is approximately 14 million. Ninety per cent of residents are Khmer; the rest are Cham (Khmer Muslim), Chinese, Vietnamese, Indian, Thai, Phnorng, Kuoy, Stieng, Tamil, etc. Population density is 78/ km2.
Climate
Like most of Southeast Asia, Cambodia's climate is hot and warm almost all year round. The climate is dominated by the annual monsoon cycle of rainy and dry seasons. The rainy season lasts from May to October, and the dry season from November to April. December to January are the coolest months, while the hottest period is in April. The average temperature is around 27-28ºC.
National Flag
The flag of Cambodia symbolizes the country's slogan: Nation, Religion, King. The two large blue stripes represent royalty and the center red stripe represents the nation. The image of the white temple stands for the nation's religion.
National Flower
The romduol, a small yellowish-white flower, is the national flower of the Kingdom of Cambodia. Since ancient times, Cambodian women have often been compared to the Romduol flower because of its attractive fragrance; a unique scent that is prominent in the late afternoon and can travel over long distances with the wind. With its sturdy stems that measure up to 30cm, the Romduol plant can grow to a height of 12 meters. These plants are being planted to enhance public parks.

The Wet Season The wet season comes courtesy of the southwest monsoon which blows from May to October, bringing with it some 75% of Cambodia's annual rainfall. Not surprisingly, the wet season is characterised by rain, and during the peak of wet season from July to September it can rain as much as two out of every three days. However, the rainy days are usually just a few hours of heavy downpour and not all-day rain, although the latter do occur.
From a more cheerful perspective, monsoonal Cambodia is also a beautiful country to travel around in. The roads are not dusty and the lush greenery of the country returns. Angkor Wat in particular can be stunning during the wet season -- the murals have a more unique appearance and feel. Observing Angkor Wat with a lightning storm as a backdrop is an electrifying experience. There are also fewer tourists going about in the country, so if you prefer to dodge the crowds, wet season can be a good time to visit.
Regionally, the Cardamom Mountains get the heaviest rain in the country, while the entire coastline gets rough seas and a lot of rain.
The Dry Season The dry period runs from October to April, when the dusty northeast monsoon arrives. Blowing like a hair-dryer set to high, the northeast monsoon dries out the country very quickly. While November and January are quite cool (high C20s) by April, the weather can be scorching and very dry. Characterised by heat and dust, this season coincides with Cambodia's peak tourist season when travellers arrive in their droves between November and January to take advantage of the lack of rain, enjoy the sun and the relatively cooler months.
Cambodia's beach strips at Kep, Sihanoukville and Ko Kong bask in brilliant sunshine with clear calm waters and if you're a beach person, dry season is the best time for you. |

Tóm lược lịch sử Vương quốc Campuchia
Lịch sử của Campuchia bắt đầu từ thế kỷ thứ nhất sau Công nguyên với việc ra đời của Vương quốc Phù Nam (Funan), được cho là quốc gia đầu tiên ảnh hưởng bởi văn hóa Ấn Độ tại vùng Đông Nam Á. Ngày nay, văn hóa, các phong tục truyền thống và cả ngôn ngữ của người Khmer hầu hết đều bắt nguồn từ giai đoạn này. Chữ Phạn, một nhánh của ngữ hệ Môn-Khmer là ngôn ngữ được sử dụng để giao tiếp và viết trong thời kỳ đó. Tôn giáo trong giai đoạn đầu là Đạo Hindu, thống trị một thời gian rất dài trước khi Đạo Phật được phổ biến tại đây. Các chứng tích về sự giao thoa văn hóa và tôn giáo này ngày nay vẫn còn tồn tại rất nhiều tại Campuchia, thể hiện qua các công trình kiến trúc cổ, cách thức làm nông nghiệp của người dân và cả thông qua các trang phục truyền thống.
