1-Visit: Skuon Spider Town. Skuon Spider Town is the 'alternative' name given to the town simply known as Skuon, which is famous for where they hunt and eat spiders... or rather tarantulas. Maybe not the most well known of Cambodia tourist attractions, the town of Skuon is 55km north of Phnom Penh, but the unusual eating habits of the residents of Skuon are earning the town a growing reputation, as both visitors to Cambodia and locals alike stop here to sample these tasty snacks. These spiders were in fact first eaten during the brutal reign of the Khmer Rouge when food was scarce and starvation rife. In Skuon they were most commonly found, but the custom has continued until the present day. Furthermore, hawkers hailing from Skuon now visit villages nearby and Phnom Penh to sell their goods.
