The national flag Cambodia

Given the distinction as the only national flag in the world to feature a building or infrastructure in its aesthetic appeal, the current national emblem is a return to the once  Cambodian  flag during the monarchy rule of the Kingdom of  Cambodia  in 1948. Divided into three parts in the ratio 1:2:1, the flag has top and bottom blue bars that seemingly contain the red center showcasing the silhouette of the Angkor Wat. Very religious and philosophical, the national insignia is a testament to Cambodia’s progressive culture, diverse spiritual beliefs and strength as a country and as a people. The national flag has undergone several changes because of power shifts in the country brought by different colonizers and eras. However, despite the modifications the Angkor Wat symbol or image remained at the heart of the national emblem.

TOP 10 REASONS TO VISIT THAILAND

The Food Whether visitors are staying in the Land of Smiles for one day or one month, Thai food is so delicious and diverse that visitors should never have to eat the same dish twice. Visitors will even find that the  cuisine  changes as their location does, keeping their food options interesting as they venture from one city to the next. The People Though all of the countries people visit are going to have their fair share of friendly locals, there is something about Thai people that makes venturing to this particular country certainly less intimidating. Thai people are traditionally friendly, or at least perceived to be so. Maybe it is their traditional Thai greeting, the  Wai , which is when someone slightly bows with their hands together almost as if they are in prayer.
