Cambogia
Cambodia is a country in Southeast Asia, bordered by Thailand to the west and northwest, Laos to the north, Vietnam to the east, and the Gulf of Thailand to the south. The capital is Phnom Penh. Cambodian culture is deeply influenced by Theravada Buddhism, which is the main religion, and its historical roots in the Khmer Empire, evident in art, architecture, and traditions. Cambodia's economy is based on agriculture, particularly rice and rubber, tourism, with the famous Angkor Wat temples as a major attraction, and the textile sector. The country has a complex history, including a period of French colonization, the tragic regime of the Khmer Rouge in the 1970s, which caused severe suffering and loss of life, and a long process of rebuilding and development. Cambodia is known for its rich cultural heritage, ancient ruins, and the natural beauty of its landscapes.
