Ian Wright wrote in the Globe Trekker’s website that of all the places that he had been to as a host for the popular travel TV series, his favorite place is Phnom Penh the capital city of Cambodia. Samantha Brown, the host of Passport to Europe and later Samantha Brown’s Asia had openly declared in her blog that Cambodia is her favorite country in Asia as well.

“Just like parents who “equally” love all their children, as a traveler I don’t like to admit that I have a favorite, but I do. Out of the eight countries visited in the Asia series, Cambodia was my favorite. I knew from the beginning that this was a different place”
