Srey Roth does not lack talents. While she earns a leaving in real estate, she is an artist and dreamer at heart. Raised in a poor family, she promised herself she would board those planes flying above her head one day. She learnt English on YouTube while doing some security jobs, and also got inspired by strong women riders online. She always wanted to be different from the others in her village and, while her mum didn't want her to get a big bike, she moved to town, learnt by herself and bought her first motorcycle. She now has 4 and plans to ride to Laos and Thailand. She feels safer, more confident and independent on big motorcycles despite her tiny stature (1m58 for 42 kgs!). She loves challenges and adventures, and hopes for more women to explore their capabilities on 2 wheels because after all, "everything men do, woman also can do".

Hear about her life and how motorcycling has always been part of it, and meet her adorable riding companion Beagle.

Jesus, that's a beautiful woman.

Which one?

Anyway. No video of her riding of her dog.

Whichever expat trained her up to be a strong independent woman did a great job.

Yeah, I was disappointed, expecting to see a 'strong, beautiful Cambodian woman' riding a big bike with her dog, instead got a split screen conversation with a homely French lass being patronising and waffling on for far too long. Well I say that, I just watched the first minute then skipped through the rest. Boring.

I’m sure she’s not boring but the video is plus any Frenchy speaking English is just annoying.

I think she’s fantastic and kudos to her for being a strong Khmer woman! I honestly wish some of the Khmer girls I dated would have taken a note from her. Some Khmer girls I dated would refuse to even take a tuk tuk or fly alone. Zero independence. And I honestly wouldn’t want to date the “traditional” Khmer woman anymore. It’s such a long tiring process to get them to the level of expat Khmer girlfriend who can ride big bikes. And not all want to be an expat Khmer girlfriend with an independent spirit.

I prefer the expat-girlfriend sort of Khmer girls like Srey Roth.....they’ve already had years of training in the Western ways and it’s easier for some other Barang to put in the years of groundwork it takes to help get them to that level. They’ve traveled, they can go eat at different kinds of restaurants, you can take them out for a drink, and they’re open to new ideas and different ways of living than typical Khmers. The only problem is snagging one while they don’t have a Barang boyfriend!

Wow. Patronising much.
