Travel: Departures: Weighing Angkor
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A NEW guidebook is devoted to one of the world's greatest religious complexes: Angkor: an Introduction to the Temples (Odyssey, pounds 11.95). It covers the site meticulously but nowhere does the book suggest how, or indeed if, you should go there.
The continuing strife between the new government and the Khmer Rouge threatens the safety of travel to Siem Reap (the town closest to Angkor). The Foreign Office advises that visitors should check with the British Embassy in Phnom Penh before making the trip.
