Caught my eye, photos in Cambodia :)

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.

The pox ^^^

The Tonle Sap alone has an untold variety of traditional wooden boat styles. Each one developed over a thousand years for a specific purpose. Some of the most beautiful hand crafted tools you could ever see in your life. Same all over Cambodia's different waterways.
Over just one decade or two, right now, all that culture of craftsmanship, and the boats themselves, are being wiped from the face of the earth.

These ^^^ ePOXy resin and fibreglass boats, originally and mostly from Vietnam, cost far less to build, far cheaper to run, maintenance free, fast. So all those heart-achingly beautiful traditional wooden boats now have no place.
Pfft.. a thousand years of man's highest and finest genius... wiped away in 5 seconds flat.

it’s very sad, but nobody rides carts or wooden motorcycles these days.
Do you think about those who suffered on these old sinking boats, who went fishing and could not return?
time passes, progress takes its toll, if it is possible to use new equipment cheaper, more reliable, faster, more economically, then it will be used.
by the way, you also write on the computer, not with a quill pen. :)
I'm crying....
