Just contact me off forum with a personal message and I shall provide you with full contact particulars and you can take it from there.

In and around Phnom Oudong there are a number of practitioners of traditional Cambodian hand crafts. There are also two very contrasting resettlement communes. The government one is squalid, especially in the wet season, the other, built by an international organization is a far better place in which to live. Personally, I enjoy a full day visit to the Oudong area.
