Siem Reap to Stung Treng

My original plan for my birthday had been a debauched party in the Philippines. Well no one predicted coronavirus and other various issues did they, so the new plan? A week long road trip through eastern Cambodia. Part 1 Siem Reap to Stung Treng

Road to Stung Treng

Technically youโ€™re looking at a 4 hour drive, but hey itโ€™s Cambodia so just getting out of Siem Reap is an hour long ordeal.

The journey itself is extremely picturesque offering small settlements, mountain views and jungle type views. Covid-19 has hit the police hard, so we also discovered them out in force taking โ€œfinesโ€.

Roundabout on way to Stung Treng

Just before you arrive at Stung Treng youโ€™re hit by a huge swathe of the Mekong River as well as the local prison! We avoided pictures of that.

Iโ€™ll get into Strung Treng on a later blog, but thereโ€™s a huge riverfront offering street food, such as Cambodian sausage, Khmer noodles, fresh coconuts and cold cold Angkor and Anchor Beer. Spending part of the afternoon soaking the day away was a rather pleasant entry into this city!

The rest of our intrepid adventures shall be covered in later blogs, but for now enjoy the photos.
