Conducting research from a hotel or holiday apartment is relatively easy these days due to the Internet.  Many hotels contain Internet access points, with many having fully implemented wi-fi hotspots so that guests can use their own computers to go online.  For example, if you needed to conduct research into Cambodia from a Hotel Munich (Hotel in München) it would be quite easy for you to get your hands on a lot of relevant information.  Cambodia is a fascinating country with a rich history and so there is a vast scope with regards to research opportunities.  Cambodian history is an especially interesting subject with a great number of online documents dedicated to it, and it would be truly easy to carry out this study when staying in a hotel in Munich.

During the 3rd, 4th and 5th centuries AD, Cambodia as we know it was formed by the states of Funan and Shenla.  This states are thought by most researchers to have had close relations to the neighboring territories of China and Thialand and were probably members of the Khmer Empire that remained powerful in this part of Asia all the way up until the 15th century.  Early Cambodian history could be researched online at a number of different places.  As well as using a major search engine to find the information that you require, there is also another fantastic resource available for Internet study.  If you type in ‘Google Scholar’ in the Google search bar, you will be able to have a look at all of the different academic publications that exist on a particular subject.  This is an extremely powerful tool when you are away from home, have no access to a library and are dependent on the Internet for your research needs.

Your research into Cambodian history would probably uncover the relationship between this south east Asian nation and France, as these two countries have had a notable history since 1863.  It was then that King Norodom sought the protection of France from the aggression of the Thai and Vietnamese nations.  France became a protectorate of Cambodia and remained in this role until November 9, 1953, when the modern nation of Cambodia began its existence as a constitutional monarchy.  Because of this relationship between Cambodia and France there is a lot of historical documentation about Cambodia in the French language.  If you are able to speak and read French then you will have access to a lot more of these important historical records.

Modern post World War 2 Cambodian history is more well known by the general public, especially with the Cambodian involvement in the Vietnam war and the rise of the Khmer Rouge.  In 1975 the Khmer Rouge reached Phnom Penh - the capital of Cambodia, and changed the name of the nation to Democratic Kampuchea, which was led by Pol Pot.  In November of 1978 Vietnamese forces entered Cambodia to stop the Khmer Rogue, which saw the escalation of tensions between the Khmer Rouge and Vietnam all during the 1980’s.  This period of Cambodian history would be the easiest to research from a Hotel Munich (messehotel-erb-muenchen.de) as it represents the most recent history of the modern nation of Cambodia.
