Cool Drone Footage of a Very Polluted Phnom Penh

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

Do the Khmer's never clean up this squalor, or do they just have no way to deal with it on that level?

Those are the lower stretches of one of the stinky canals. There are bamboo grills set up to stop all that floating styrofoam and plastic getting into the pumping station pumps. The floating stuff backs up behind these. They do actually scoop all that stuff out with an excavator every now and then. The banks of the canal get scraped over a little less often too. It gets messed up again pretty fast.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

We have a few of those canals actually! The canals are black and stink - but not like sewage, even though some of it of course is.
