My tip from the boonies. Before you leave for the provinces, don't forget the mosquito repellent, maybe a net for sleeping, some coils and a can of all-purpose Raid. It's hot, the insects are out in force, and my barang blood is obviously delicious to local mozzies.
Otherwise, take some money, toys for the kids, a bottle of decent whiskey and a book for yourself, and you should be right.

SWMBO's sister has borrowed the elder kids and yanked them off to Pursat, so that we can enjoy junior's first days at home, and quiet.
I felt sorry for them, when I heard they had been stuck in traffic for 3 hours and hadn't yet passed Kampong Chnang

Just build a bunker like NKOTB
If you enjoy noise pollution and obnoxious driving practices, Phnom Penh is the place for you!
This.

lots and lots of patience and a strong stomach

Also, take a torch or a lamp so you can find a safe spot to pee at night. Goes without saying, but...

Take an SUV and try to get out of there as soon as possible. The capital is bad enough at the moment, steaming hot. Why anyone would want to spend time in some
muddy off-the-grid village swinging in a hammock with geese and diseased hounds and cattle snuffling around in the dust is beyond me.
I'm glad my family here are from the capital and nearby area so I don't have to spend too much time in the boonies.

Silence, exile, and cunning.

Airbags. I wouldn't go on any highway during KNY.
