The 10 Best Bloggers in Cambodia

Kounila Keo was one of the Kingdom’s first bloggers, launching blueladyblog.com in 2007. Having been crowned one of Forbes’ 30 Under 30s in April, the 29-year-old is a champion in the country’s digital, media and marketing sphere and blogs about her life, issues in Cambodia, culture and politics.

Tharum Bun has also led the country’s blog scene, sharing his musings online since 2004. The communications specialist, who runs a marketing agency, is also a passionate photographer and shares his experiences, thoughts and comments on issues in Cambodia.

Santel Phin is another pioneer in Cambodia’s blogging sphere, having run his site since 2008. His main goal is to share with the world what is happening in Cambodia, throwing the spotlight on hot topics. Targeting first-time visitors to the country, he dispels common myths, keeps readers up-to-date on travel trends and showcases the best hotels, restaurants and attractions.

This online portal is packed full of all you need to know about Siem Reap, from guides to trawling around Angkor Wat Archaeological Park, and Temple Town’s vast selection of restaurants and bars, to other activities to keep visitors occupied away from the temples.

Sharing a mutual passion for lifestyle, design and travel, in 2014, Caitlin Decker and Tiffany Tsang launched Cait+Tiff. With a focus on life and design in Southeast Asia, the duo writes about their passions: creativity, food, travel, style, fashion and a whole host of other topics. It also serves as a platform to promote their design and fashion services.
