Cool ice cube delivery at Central Market, 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.

I thought I was taking a video of this the other day for my Insta, but my phone hadn't switched from photo to video mode, so by the time I went to post it all I had was a photo of the start and end. :( dammit

They have extended the ramp! It used to just be a short 45 degree ramp from the back of the truck, and they'd worked out how to aim the ice exactly so it would make it's way over the paving to the catcher. If we ever had visitors at Central, we'd always hope the ice truck would be there as it's very entertaining. Also, the auntie right behind the catcher sells drinks, and will put small chairs out for you so you're nice and close to the stacked ice on a hot day.
