A farm a few hundred meters south of the Kandal provincial border (1hour northwest of Phnom Penh)

Have questions or resources regarding Khmer Culture? This forum is all about the Kingdom of Cambodia's culture. Khmer language, Cambodian weddings, French influence, Cambodian architecture, Cambodian politics, Khmer customs, etc? This is the place. Living in Cambodia can cause you to experience a whole new level of culture shock, so feel free to talk about all things related to the Khmer people, and their traditions. And if you want something in Khmer script translated into English, you will probably find what you need.

A farm a few hundred meters south of the Kandal provincial border (1hour northwest of Phnom Penh)

Post by Phnom Penh Pal »

My wife's farm has two buildings side by side and one on the roadside. Simple two story structures look similar to others in the area. The village has one busy main road and a few side streets. All roads have recently been laid in asphalt for the first time. All the freeholds are adjacent to one another and pretty much equal sized plots. There's a strong feeling of community on this road. My wife's parents bought this land and over twenty years have slowly built it up and improved the buildings to the point now where they have paid off the bank loan and are in the black. They now own several cows, motorbikes, a shop, a barbers and a shack where the brother fixes bikes. Her father's pride and joy the car is updated every year. Her mother cooks delicious frog stuffed with ginger and turmeric. She also cooks the popular Khmer curry that you can get in the barang cafes. This really does feel like home with more modern amenities quickly being provided in an area which only 8 years ago was a backwater. This small village is fast being encompassed by Phnom Penh city limits
