This is a photograph taken on route from the Thailand border to the city of Siem Reap, Cambodia. Siem Reap is the closet city to the temples of Angkor; which are a 26km square plot of religious monuments that resemble a wonder to the world in size, detail and everything inbetween. It took 8 hours to go 120 km along this bumpy route; everything including automobiles, cows, kids on bicycles and even men driving road tillers with females on back surfing loads of lumber travel this route. Eye opening to say the least. Cambodia at one time had one of the greatest civilizations on earth and also at one time had a dictator (pol pot) kill and enslave over 3 million of his own people (1970’s). During this time Cambodia was cut off from the rest of the world. Religion, school, and society was stopped. No one was allowed in or out of Cambodia and thousands of land mines were planted all over and to this day people are still being blown up by them..Stay on the beaten path…
On another note, there are also fresh water dolphins in some of the rivers in Cambodia.
