Publisher's Synopsis
This booklet was made, coming and going a Cambodian border intermittently, during 2009 from 2005.
A border achieves more change after it recorded, and there is the modernized one, too, by concluding the one at an extended period.
Also, the temporal one does the cause to the end and sometimes can't be settled as the contents.
Only it is repeating a capital and old capital and sudden increase concussion in a border, too.
In the country where the scar of a civil war leaves its traces, a human rights question and social problem stand out at the same time.
However, it draws that it is possible to be realized how much the border opening to be informed of is here, whether or not a floor is a red earth, and so on.
It is the essay that included the scenery that seems an interest in a very trivial and everyday matter from the roadside and so on and that made them a focus.
Famous sites like Phnom Penh and Angkor Wat are dotted with extravagant food. Then, such a splendid region has become an appearance like no other in Cambodia.
Every day, people can visit the restaurant like a gourmet.
On the other hand, the unknown local city often has poverty in food and people. What does this mean?
That, I say. Then, this may be such a thing.
The way of the mind is very different between people in the aspect of the meal and the action side between the tourist spot such as the capital which is becoming famous and the ancient capital and the unknown provinces. The provinces must be different from the capital and the prosperous ancient capital.
I visit Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville by airplane.
Then, I might return by airplane for the return trip.
At that time, I can enjoy a lot of luxury as long as there is no airplane accident or a traffic accident on land.
Cambodia has become about that.
However, I think about the round trip by land except the main trunk line for me. Then, I will pass the town and the village etc. of the unknown in the provinces by chance. Then, I might encounter an unexpected event in the meantime.
Then, an unexpected place where I can visit unexpectedly has come out in such a case. I'm starting to put it in a place that was once unthinkable.
It is a border known during Cambodia's civil war and could never be assumed to enter.
Even there, I now feel that I can pass so easily.
So， I am taken out of my head.
And I'm surprised by the convenience of the traffic in front of me.
Of course, there are places where it has not changed at all.
Then, this cannot be said in general.
It is a drop in place.
Moreover, the doubt related to the change of information which changes moment by moment comes out to me, too. But I can't miss a new change.
Therefore, Cambodia is slow by a slow tempo of Cambodia. But the country is definitely turning into a moveable situation for foreign visitors. Such a mind comes to me.
I want to attach such an outline here.
And, I want to say this.
Except for chapter 5 of the Mekong River, which is covered in the last chapter of this book, this is the way it is. This is not yet a place where you can say that it is sightseeing.
"KHAO PHRA WIHAN" had been known to people as an excellent tourist spot in Thailand almost until the conflict of the border broke out on the Thai side and the Cambodian side. This place was reflected in Thailand, like a longing land that even Thai people want to go. It is in a travel company in Thailand.
