A selection of photos from our Cambodia Overland tour or at least the Cambodia section of various tours since Dan and Sara, having signed up for the Indochina Adventure, had already travelled through Northern Thailand and Laos for a couple of weeks and Yvette was doing Cambodia as part of a Saigon to Phnom Penh Overland tour. First pic then is from Phnom Penh’s riverside Titanic Restaurant as we waited for Yvette to arrive on the boat from Chau Doc and where the tour-leader made a gallant sacrifice and had a lunchtime Angkor Beer so that Marina didn’t have to drink alone!
Free dance show whilst waiting for the boat Since the boat was pretty late our walking tour of Phnom Penh turned into a slightly chaotic tuk-tuk tour of Cambodia’s bustling capital.
Just before the puncture… And a colourful pic of fruit at Phsa Chas, (‘Old Market’), taken shortly before we had to get out and walk anyway since the tuk-tuk had a puncture.
Phnom Penh’s Psa Chas And now a couple of the obligatory spider photos from Skuon…..
They’re better fried! Helen and Yvette checking out Martin’s lunch in Skuon, whilst Sara tries to get as far away as possible. (Martin didn’t realise you had to fry them first.)
Tentative tasting by Marina
Traffic on the way to Siem Reap And a group photo from Banteay Srei Dom Dek Temple which does look like it might be an album cover from a dodgy 70’s folk-rock band? Wasn’t posed – honest!
Banteay Srei Dom Dek Another iconic Cambodian holiday photo is the classic pig on a motorbike shot.
Pigs on motorbike ..or how about a Buddha on a truck?
Cruising down the highway Next up sees Sara and Helen attempting to loot a priceless lintel at Beng Melea Temple though since it was clearly to fund their next All Points East holiday we let them carry on.
Sara and Helen at Beng Melea Moving on to the Siem Reap to Battambang boat trip up the Sangkar River here’s photographer Martin in action and wishing the damn birds would sit still for a moment.

Some of our fans on the riverbank Below a floating Vietnamese ‘coffee shop’, (more like rocket fuel), at Prek Toal Village.
Coffee ‘shop’ And no ‘Photos from our Cambodia Overland tour’ post would be complete without a good old Bamboo Train pic!
Martin and Marina on the ‘bamboo train’ A return journey to Phnom Penh via the scenic riverside town of Kompong Chhnang completed the trip. Thanks to all for the additional photos and for being such a fun group.
Kompong Chnang market Cheers!
