Cambodia, the world's friendliest country



Cambodia was named the friendliest country in the world, ahead of its ASEAN neighbors.

This is according to Rough Guides, a travel guidebook and reference publisher in the United Kingdom.

The Philippines and Laos came second and third respectively in the rankings. Meanwhile, Thailand was ranked the fifth.

Rough guides said Cambodia was by far the top answer in their polls and a popular choice among staff members and their twitter followers alike.

One of those who tweeted declared Cambodians have been through so much and still have a smile on their face.

Rough guides also included Phnom Bakheng in Siem Reap as one of the world’s best sunset spots.

At around 4pm a large and cheerful crowd begins to gather at the top of the Bakheng Mountain

They wait for the magical moment when the sun hits the top of the Tonle Sap Lake, sparkling and shimmering.
