Fun Facts About Cambodia
- Tarantulas are a popular snack in Cambodia. They say it tastes like crab or chicken.
- Cambodians drive on the right side of the road, just like in the US. But most cars have steering wheels on the right due to massive imports from Japan and Thailand. This creates a chaotic driving environment where drivers must navigate traffic from the passenger side.
- Cambodia's Mekong River is home to the endangered Irrawaddy dolphin. There are only around 90–100 of these unique freshwater dolphins left in the world. Locals believe they're reincarnated humans and protect them.
- Cambodia is often called the Land of Smiles because it is home to some of the friendliest people in Southeast Asia. This is in stark contrast to the country's dark "Killing Fields" reputation under the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime of 1975–79.
- Cambodian currency has no coins, only paper notes.
