Miss Planet International Contestants Visit Angkor Wat in Cambodia
SIEM REAP, March 11, 2026 — Contestants from 35 countries participating in the Miss Planet International 2025 pageant visited Cambodia’s iconic Angkor Wat temple complex on Tuesday as part of cultural activities during the international event.
The delegates toured the historic site in Siem Reap province, one of the world’s most renowned cultural and archaeological destinations and a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Organizers say the global pageant promotes environmental awareness, cultural diversity and women’s empowerment.
Cambodian officials say the event also helps showcase the country’s cultural heritage and tourism potential, while promoting Cambodia as a safe and peaceful travel destination for international visitors.
