Cambodia Hotels and Resorts - The first civilization of Cambodia existed from the 1 st to 6 th century in a State referred to as Funan. It was the oldest Indianized state in Southeast Asia, and from this period Cambodia's first writing language Sanskrit began. Influenced by Indian cultures, Funan accepted Hinduism, which was latter converted to Buddhism. What makes Cambodians different from its neighbors is due to the fact that Cambodians wear scarves, called Kramas, rather than straw hats.From 9 th to 13 th century Angkor period existed.

The period began with King Jayavarman II taking the throne in 802. At its peak, Angkor Empire extended from theborder of modern day Burma east to the South China Sea and north to Laos. Of great Kings who built famous temples were King Suryavarman II who built the world's renowned Angkor Wat, whereas King Jayavarman VII successfully made aggressive construction of most of largest temples of Angkor, particularly Great City known as Angkor Thom. Not only the temples were the success of those Angkor Kings, but also vast man-made lakes with water exits for centuries together with its sophisticated system of irrigation such as canals and dikes. This enabled rice cultivation for 3 times a year, and that Angkor was a wealthy empire.
