Mondulkiri

This wild, sparsely populated area of Cambodia is another one away from the tourist trail. Dotted with rolling hills, jungles, waterfalls and valleys, it is home to some of the country’s most rare and endangered wildlife, including leopards, water buffalo and elephants. Homestays are available throughout the province, mostly run by bunongs, the minority group who predominantly inhabit the area. For a more unique proposal why not seek their help in arranging a bunong themed way to pop the question?

Romance may not naturally come coupled with the dusty Cambodian capital but there are plenty of special spots to get the romantic juices flowing. Eclipse skybar, which sits on the 24th floor of Phnom Penh Tower, is the highest spot in the city and offers 360-degree views of the sprawling capital below. While it does get crowded at sunset, there are private booths boasting the best views, that can be reserved for free, with staff happy to help arrange that special moment. Finish it off with a visit to Malis (Norodom Boulevard), the capital’s finest Cambodian restaurant owned by revered chef Luu Meng.
