Photo Khmer Life





Motorbikes and pushbikes are the dominant form of transportation amongst locals (as in Vietnam). Petrol stations are relatively sparse, but almost every roadside stall sells soda bottles full of fuel for emergency bike refilling.

Outside town, traditional houses in Cambodia are built on stilts, both for protection from floodwater and also for reasons of tradition and superstition.



Along the Mekong River, there are also many floating houses.



The residents along the river typically commute by boat, and there are a number of floating shops to serve their needs (and even floating schools and churches).



More photos from along the river in my next post...
