Durante el ascenso por el rio Mekong, dejamos atrás Vietnam para entrar en Camboya.
Phnom Penh es su Capital. La historia reciente de este país es realmente cruel. Durante el Genocidio llevado a cabo por los Jemeres Rojos, hubo un exterminio masivo de civiles, que redujo la población de Camboya de 7,5 a 6 millones de habitantes.
De hecho, el conflicto acabó recientemente. No fue hasta la muerte de Pol Pot en 1998 que los Jemeres Rojos que quedaban se rindieron.
Actualmente, este país esta en reconstrucción de todo lo destruido tanto material como lo no material. Su población, la gran mayoría menor de 30 años, vive y trabaja con ilusión para levantarlo. No obstante, existen todavía temas deleznables como la prostitución de menores, hecho evidente en la Capital entre los turistas y niñas adolescentes.

Going upriver the Mekong River, we left Vietnam to enter Cambodia.
Phnom Penh is its Capital. The recent history of this country is really cruel. During the Genocide carried out by Khmer Rouge, there was a mass extermination of civilians, which reduced the population of Cambodia from 7.5 to 6 million.
In fact, the conflict ended recently. It was not until Pol Pot's death in 1998 that the remaining Khmer Rouge surrendered.
Currently, this country is in reconstruction of everything destroyed both material and non-material. Its population, the great majority under 30, lives and works with enthusiasm to raise it. Nonetheless, there are still topics such as prostitution of minors, a fact evident in the Capital between tourists and adolescent girls.

Banteay Srey
Koh Ker is a remote archaeological site in northern Cambodia about 120 kilometres (75 mi) away from Siem Reap and the ancient site of Angkor.
It is a very jungle filled region that is sparsely populated. More than 180 sanctuaries were found in a protected area of 81 square kilometers. Only about two dozen monuments can be visited by tourists because most of the sanctuaries are hidden in the forest and the whole area Is not fully demined.
Koh Ker is the modern name for an important city of the Khmer empire. In inscriptions the town is mentioned as Lingapura (city of lingams) or Chok Gargyar (sometimes translated as city of glance, sometimes as iron tree forest).

Nature is reclaiming one of the many temples of Angkor Wat, near Siem Reap, Cambodia
- Banteay Srei is a 10th-century Cambodian temple dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva.
Located in the area of Angkor, it lies near the hill of Phnom Dei, 25 km (16 mi) north-east of the main group of temples that once belonged to the medieval capitals of Yasodharapura and Angkor Thom.
Banteay Srei is built largely of red sandstone, a medium that lends itself to the elaborate decorative wall carvings which are still observable today. The buildings themselves are miniature in scale, unusually so when measured by the standards of Angkorian construction.
These factors have made the temple extremely popular with tourists, and have led to its being widely praised as a "precious gem", or the "jewel of Khmer art."

- Chong Khneas is a commune in Prasat Bakong District in Siem Reap Province Cambodia. The name means "Harbor of the Tusks". The community largely depends on fishing for survival, primarily shrimp, spending Cambodia's wet season (May-October) fishing.
Many houses and buildings are constructed on stilts ranging from 6 m to 9 m to accommodate the changes in water level between wet and dry seasons.
During the dry season (November-April) as the river thins due to receding water, many turn to farming to supplement their income.
As of 2019, the commune has 911 families with a total population of 3,707. The commune consist of three villages: Tnaot Kambot, Dey Krahom, and Kok Kdol.
