Meet Phnom Penh’s New Khmer architecture

I’ll always remember Phnom Penh for its architecture. We combined a few walking routes and filled our days with taking pictures. There are some amazing buildings from Vann Molyvann to be spotted. Most of his buildings even survived the Khmer Rouge! Unfortunately a lot of other buildings have been destroyed in the rush to modernize. I hope the government understands soon enough that it’s a part of their patrimony they need to protect.
