São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
Kampong Kong, Cambodia is a quiet town in the south of the country along the Mekong River in Kampong Cham province. It retains a strong sense of traditional Khmer life, with a unique landscape of hanging villages and coconut groves along the river. Fishing and rice cultivation are the mainstays of the area, and craftsmen use traditional techniques to weave high bamboo baskets and silk fabrics. The town's iconic Temple of Long Khon Kaen, with its beautiful murals and ancient stupa, is a testament to the changing history of the area. Compared with other popular destinations such as Siem Reap, Lon Khon is less commercialized and suitable for experiencing the original Khmer culture and slow-paced life.
