Cambodia Brief Introduction

Cambodia is located on the southern part of the Indochina Peninsula of Southeast Asia, surrounded by Vietnam in the east, Laos in the north and Thailand in the west, and close to the Gulf of Thailand with 460 kilometres of coastline. The central and southern regions are plains; the east, north and west are surrounded by mountains and highlands mostly covered by forests.

There are no earthquakes, tsunamis, or significant natural disasters in Cambodia, making it well-suited for living and operations.
