I like unusual places but wondered whether it was worth a visit there with my 15 year old son. Is Cambodia dangerous - i.e landmines..? I want to go somewhere different but obviously not somewhere that's going to put my son's life at risk.. By sophie r

Cambodia every time.... I found very little to do in Vietnam, unless you like firing an AK47 gun or looking at underground tunnels. Cambodia has lots of things to see and has some nice beeches in the south. Cambodian people are very friendly and relaxed. Vietnamese will hassle you all the time.
Good luck
No don' t go there, they are the favourite places for pedophiles!

Visit Cambodia......I've been there many times!!!
Don't worry about landmines..You are not going to bring your son
to the wild country sides where the locals don't even visit, right?
I suppose you will spent your holiday mainly in the capital city or nearby suburb..right? If yes, here are my recommendation from personal experiences.
Cambodia..
1. In Siem Reap, you must visit Angkar Wat--one of seven wonders of the world..an awesome monument.
2. In Phnom Pen (capital city)
In the city itself, you can enjoy the beauty of French colonial buildings, the King's Palace, the Bud hist temple at the city park, the rows & rows of rustic local shops... ..
...Take a short boat ride along the "Mekong River" and witness the poverty of the "country side immigrants" staying along the river banks
or enjoy the world go by at the many cafe along the main road facing the same river...
or enjoy the "wild animal" cuisines at restaurant along the river bank opposite the cafe.....
At night, visit the modern casino or the "crazy" disco (without your son) to let your hair down...
