In the north of Cambodia by scooter. :)

Do you have a Cambodian trip report you want to share? Post it here, and feel free to link to your blog if it's a travel blog for Cambodia, South East Asia, or anywhere really. You can ask and answer questions about travel advice in Cambodia or just share your pictures and videos with us. Most people who live in or visit Cambodia have also checked out nearby countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, and you can get to most of these countries by traveling overland, so put any travel plans, reviews or questions here. Discussions about dirt bike trails in here as well.

I have no regrets and would do it again without hesitation. My longest ride was 8 hours from SR to Kampot in one shot, stopping only for fuel. Rode 10k miles total when I was living there. Easily one of the best years of my life.
* hours from SR-Kampot, you sound like Phucket Richard with his Kampot-Kep super speed challenge.

I went all over the country on my Airblade. I must have ridden to Kampot and Kompong Saom 20 times.

I did a good trek across the northern borders on an old win copy about 10 years back, up Preah Vihear after handing in my passport at the bottom, Anlong Veng, Stung Treng. Was a rare old ride.

Now stuck in an office, preggers GF and one or two trips a year in the car someplace. :(

Did Ratanakiri-Mondulkiri 10 years ago with a friend. Two guys, two Honda Dreams. Unforgettable experience, couldn’t have done it alone. Had to carry the bikes across several streams, worrying about water entering the engine. My friend was hospitalized with a combi of dengue and malaria afterwards.

By a great adventure. Not sure a scooter could have done it.

Scooters literally can go anywhere. Loggers use supped up (double/triple suspension) scooters to carry out logs from single tracks all over the country's dwindling forests. Easy to get across rivers too, just use a snorkel.

Haha I didn’t intend to do it, just kept going. On the return trip I shaved 15 minutes off my time and made it in 7:45 door to door. My ass didn’t forgive me for a few days.
Cambodia: where money can buy you absolutely anything except intelligence.
