Public houses are not just drinking establishments for grabbing a pint. Indeed, patrons range across ages, classes, and backgrounds, making these centers of community and conversation the perfect place to experience the culture of a city. Locals settle into their favorites, often based upon the strength of a pub's "craic"-a term for the house ambiance that can include lively banter, rousing music, or anything else that constitutes a good time.

Cambodia has a unique and ancient food culture all of its own, and unlike Thai and Vietnamese food, it's probably difficult to find a bowl of it in your local neighbourhood. Using pepper rather than chilli to add spice, Cambodian cuisine is laden with fresh herbs, spices, rice, freshwater fish and condiments. While there are influences from French and Thai styles, Cambodian food has a distinct style and flavour that's best experienced while seated at a local beer hall or family home. While travelling from Phnom Penh through to Siem Reap, discover the sights, sounds and flavours of Kampot, Battambang and Angkor Wat.
