Travel blogger Chel & Sois has an interesting post on a trip in Kampong Cham province in the mighty Mekong river delta, once an important trading town during the French occupation.

We were only there for a day. Within this short time period we visited the local market and had some great food, but the highlight was a bikeride through the countryside, including a visit to a local temple, school, and tobacco plantation. Another cool feature was that we crossed the Mekong river by a bamboo bridge.

Analog Cambodia has an interesting piece about Phnom Bros and Phnom Penh Srei (Man and Woman Hill) of Kampong Cham prvince.

The two hills have housed temples and been places of worship for possibly hundreds of years, but the temples currently there date from the mid 20th century. Like most temples of their kind and age they were used by the Khmer Rouge for a prison and torture centre. The dark days are long behind the hills now and the hilltops temples have been restored and, in true Khmer style, house beautiful yet garish paintings on the walls and ceiling.
