Cambodia: Angkor Wat

On Saturday I got eight postcards: One from Canada, one from Russia, five from Austria (which I sent to me when I was there) and my first card from Cambodia.

The Kingdom of Cambodia is a state in Southeast Asia. Cambodia is bordered by Thailand, Laos and Vietnam. Phnom Penh is the capital of the country.

The postcard shows Angkor Wat. King Suryavarman II had Angkor Wat built as his state temple and capital. Angkor Wat is a national symbol of Cambodia and is shown on the national flag. Angkor Wat is since 1992 a UNESCO World Heritage Site.


Stamp:
30 years AIDS prevention (from set of four) (issued 2011)


Thank You very much Elma!
