@sreypov and I recently took a trip to Pramaoy to drop off a steel door for modification, withdraw some money from the ATM machine, and a few other errands.
Highway Shots 🛣️
I found myself in the tuk-tuk for about 10 minutes, and while doing some people watching I thought it would be a good idea to document it. The things that drive past you in Cambodia are a little different than sights you might see in other countries. I already mentioned thay my PC died, and Srey-Yuu's laptop is too weak for video editing, but I have some slo-mo shots of the bikes going by that are really cool.
I like that cars are the minority on roads in most places around Cambodia, with small motorcycles and bicycles being the most common site. People-watching is much more interesting when the general public aren't behind tinted glass and windscreens, plus I like how each bike, driver, passenger(s) and goods are different.
I was having fun trying to time the shots by watching in my peripheral vision for a moto to come speeding by. I had a success rate of about 50%, but the pics would've been better if I'd had my digital camera with me. Either way it was fun taking pics and slo-mo videos of the motos passing by, and the rainboots make a nice background.
Maybe the guy in the above photo bought his rainboots from the seller in the background, and/or perhaps he was regretting having chosen orange, because those sky-blue boots are absolutely on fire 🔥!!
Tractors Too 🚜
In rural Cambodian towns, tractors are almost as common on the highways as cars, and even quite normal in downtown Pramaoy. Some kind of sunshade is necessary for long days in an open cab. The cost of a tractor is beyond the reach of many people, so these are basically the Bentleys of rural Cambodia.
This guy wearing the flat (had to google hat types to learn that) caught my attention. I always associate this kind of hat with artistic types in the USA, and it also has a 1920s paperboy style as well. Either way, this guy gets some style points for his unique choice of headgear.
Trailers are attached to just about anything here in Cambodia, from hand tractors to motorcycles and just about anything that moves. The young guy in the above shot is busy enjoying life, but it's just as common to see two or three people in the trailer having a nap on the way back home from a hard day's work.
I had a blast just holding the phone in one location and watching the scenery change with each click. This was early evening, so most people were tired at had a stoic look on their face. My family and I weren't feeling much different, we still had a one-hour drive back to Steung Kach ahead of us.
