Know Before You Go: Cambodia's Angkor

Know Before You Go: Cambodia's Angkor

This week on Passport to Everywhere, Melissa transports us to Southeast Asia, shining a spotlight on Cambodia.

First, Ginevra Boatto, World Monument Fund's regional representative for Southeast Asia overseeing the Angkor Archeological Park project, joins Melissa to talk about engaging with local communities, restoring sites, expectations of travelers, and more.

The WMF is a nonprofit dedicated to saving the world's most treasured places so they can be appreciated and studied by future generations. Since its inception in 1965, the Fund has partnered with local communities, governments, and preservationists to safeguard more than 700 sites in 112 countries.

Perhaps one of the most popular sites on this list is Angkor Archeological Park in Siem Reap, Cambodia. The complex, once the seat of the Khmer Empire, stretches over 150 square miles and contains dozens of magnificent Hindu and Buddhist temples built between the ninth and fifteenth centuries – the most famous, of course, being Angkor Wat, the largest religious monument in the world.

Then Melissa and Kathryn Nathanson, Director of Indagare Productions, discuss how to make the most of a trip to Siem Reap, the gateway to Angkor.
