This week on Wonders of Cambodia, we followed threads of craft, memory, and resilience — from straw mats woven on the outskirts of Phnom Penh to Mekong lobster feasts in Takeo, from early 20th‑century peasant marches to the complex legacies of Cambodian and foreign historians. Each publication shines a light on how Cambodia’s past and present continue to converse: in temple bas‑reliefs, riverside kitchens, political biographies, and the elegant drape of Khmer and regional costume.
