Cambodia has become one of South East Asia's tourism hotspots but an alarming trend is emerging. Orphanages and the children in them are now becoming a staple of the backpacker itinerary. But in a country where the child sex trade is out of control, critics fear the practice will attract paedophiles and put the children at risk.
