| Hifaluten Member | Last week I was sent off to Cambodia … I always dread going there, but usually end up having a good time. I won’t beat about the bush … Cambodia is hot, dirty, and the only good looking sheilas are the illegal hookers from Vietnam. On the other hand, I always come back with good memories of how wild the place is at night. This time my destination was Koh Kong Province, which is just south of Thailand’s Trat Province. I’d never been there before so was looking forward to it. Only thing was I didn’t quite expect the 8 hour bus ride there from Phnom Penh and really had to refrain from giving the person responsible for booking my travel an earful when I realised where I ended up was only 8 kms south of the Thai-Cambodia border. Anyway more about that later. Here’s a few pics I took on the road from Phnom Penh to Kong Kong. ![]() ^ My destination – Koh Kong Province in Cambodia ![]() ^ The last road stop between Phnom Penh and Koh Kong, I faced a decent 6 hrs on dirt roads after this ![]() ^ There are 4 major rivers between Phnom Penh and Koh Kong. They are building some bridges over each of these rivers but in the meanwhile you have to cross on some dodgy old ferrys. ![]() ^ The first ferry is basically three old fishing boats tied together and some old planks tied across them to make a raft ![]() ^ This is classic example of Cambodia ingenuity – check the two longtail props which drive the sucker across the river. Here’s a video of the bloody thing taking off - I took my shoes off when it was my turn in case I ended up having to swim back to shore.
