There’s a boy waiting to cross the road.

Driving in Phnom Penh requires all your five senses and ESP. You’ll never predict what’s going to happen. Other vehicles come at you in all directions possible and pedestrians just jump right in front of you.

This boy crossed the road only a few metres away from an oncoming Land Cruiser. Luckily, the driver managed to step on the break just in the nick of time. From where I stood I saw the driver, an expat, raised his hands in exasperation. Ahhh, the what ifs.

One must have the steel of nerves to drive in this country.

APAD 359: The secrets of Kampong Trach

Some three years ago my husband and I embarked on a 700km-roadtrip southeast of Cambodia. Along the way we came across this beautiful place that, at that time, were “undergoing development”.

This is Kampong Trach Resort.  It has several limestone mountains  that contain caves that are worthy of a visit.

The limestone caves of Kampong Trach contain Buddhist shrines as well as unique rock formations.

There are interesting rock formations as well as shrines in the caves.
Here are more pictures of what’s inside the Kampong Trach resort.
