Phnom Penh 2005 pictures

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.

That's was it. Next month I'm in P.P. and will take pictures on the same place where I took some pictures in 2005. Than you can see the different 13 years later.

It would be great if you could track down those kids and give them a copy of their photo. shouldn't be too hard to do, they are probably still wearing those same clothes .
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Great idea.

Would be nice if @John Bingham could do similar with some of his early photos.

used to photograph at the dump regularly back in '08 and would take photos back to the kids.Also many of the kids in PP i have shot over the years as they grew up yet pretty much remained inn the same area
have done it numerous times in some remote villages in northern thailand i have visited often over the years as well
