diving spot available across to some of the islands.
the town Koh Kong..
TOLL...? hmmm, so Malaysia.. first toll paid at about 30cts usd.
still contemplating whether to stay here at Koh Kong..
Having arrived here much earlier then expected.. 230km in just 2 half hour, with so many stops taking pictures.. I must say this is the best ride in Cambodia.
This is the longest bridge so far over the river mouth towards Thai Gulf. Except for this bridge in Koh Kong, which is completed in 2002, the rest are all completed only last year 2008. Ferry crossing is now history..
the final section of the hilly area towards Koh Kong.. WOW, 230km is a breeze today.. only 10.30am. Guess I should cross over to Thailand instead of putting up here at Koh Kong.
looks like there is no more ferry crossing.. The 3rd bridge I come across also completed in 2008
with the grant form Thailand. Well, this will certainly boost Thailand's export into this country
Barge and ferry business affected after it is replaced by the bridges.. well, the operator should have moved with times..
approaching another bridge..
not that flat anymore.. the southwest has some nice gradient and corners to negotiate..half the journey from Sihanouk Ville to Koh Kong.. and I'm about to conclude my best ride in Cambodia so far.. condition of the road is superb, hardy see a pot hole.. more scenic too
stated this slab, it's a Thai 
sponsored bridge with the date 2008. would have been a ferry crossing if I came last year.. which will take at least half an hour..
view from the bridge.. a long stretch of villages living by the river bank. Ferry crossing was done here before the completion of this bridge less then a year ago.
wow, drinking starts at breakfast time.. smells like 'samsu' a coconut fermented drink like what we have back home.
nice cloudy morning helps to shelter me from the sun.
one of the old bridge, juz outside Sihanouk Ville.
..Sre Amble bridge, a Thai sponsored bridge.
set off early from Sihanouk Ville at about 8am. A 230 km journey to boarder town Koh Kong. Expecting to do some river crossing via ferry, that could be time consuming.
