Re: Mondolkiri
I've some bad news for you. The bamboo bridge is down for good. A new bridge of metal and asphalt has been built further to the south of the island as a replacement and wealthy Khmer have grabbed up much of the land on the island for various money making enterprises.

Re: Mondolkiri
Just so everyone knows what you'r talking about.
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.

Re: Mondolkiri
Duncan, those are some great photos of a bridge that will not be built again. I've even seen pickup trucks cross it.

Re: Mondolkiri
Yep some of the iconic these things are disappearing and people miss out on great ingenuity such as the bamboo bridge and the bamboo train. They were both fun to see and I was impressed by their simplicity of construction.
Sadly new travelers will never get to see..........
