Boat

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. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

kitchen under deck. consisting mainly of a gas stove. captain steers and cooks. the solar panels charge batteries that power a small fridge and an inverter for 220v gear.
usually at sea mosquito nets are not needed. if there are any you just move away from land.Image

First I would like to thank tathom for calling round to visit me the other day. He is a very knowledgeable man on the subject of boats and boating here in Cambodia.
So the other day I had a ride around again viewing second hand craft, and not in many cases.

This craft is in daily use for crabbing I understand.

Image

I had took on board some of tathom's advice to seek out a smaller craft to get to know the waterways of the area. I had talked with him about an offer I had before. A small fiberglass boat with engine.

Image

But this I think is just a little small, so I had inquired about the bigger size. I am now waiting for the owner to give me his price. But also I have been told there is a distributor in town selling new boats.

Those little blue boats are what they used for crossing the river before the bridge was built.

my car would never have fit on those, LOL
we used the big ferry boats for crossing from KK- onwards across the rivers

If all u want is a small boat like why not buy something like a Zodiac and put a little 15 hp engine on it

I agree with you Richard, I have only found one so far willing to post to Cambodia. I have emailed more sellers if they will post.

Would anyone know if there would be import duty? :hattip:

I would count on it.
