Cambodia & Vietnam Cycling Adventure Cambodia & Vietnam Cycling Adventure (extended) Introduction Delve deep into both Cambodia and Vietnam, two very different countries yet both othering gorgeous scenery, vibrant cultures, friendly faces, and delicious cuisines. Take in some of Southeast Asia’s most famous sites such as the extraordinary Angkor Wat and bustling city of Saigon, but also get off the beaten path, get to know the locals, and explore charming village communities. Day 1. Arrive to Siem Reap; Phare Circus Welcome to Cambodia! Upon your arrival to Siem Reap International Airport, our driver will await ready to transfer you to your accommodation. A comfortable centrally-located hotel will put you in good stead for an afternoon of relaxing by the pool or exploring the nearby Old Market area. This evening, you have front row seats at the 8pm show of Phare: The Cambodian Circus. More than just a circus, Phare performers use theatre, music, dance and modern circus arts to tell uniquely Cambodian stories; historical, folk and modern. The young circus artists will astonish you with their energy, emotion, enthusiasm and talent. Accommodation: Riversoul ​ Day 2. Sunrise at Angkor, Explore the Temples 30km cycling As the roosters begin to crow, you will be out at the most important religious monument in Cambodia, watching the sun rise over the triple towers of Angkor Wat. Even in the wet season, this is a magical time to see Angkor. As the crowds thin, take an unforgettable walk through the temple, where the soft light and cool temperatures present Angkor at its best. A short pedal away a delicious breakfast spread awaits. After breakfast, we ride around the hidden trails of the Angkor complex to visit some of the best-kept secrets and the iconic temples of the Bayon, Ta Prom and The Elephant Terrace. As the day heats up, we lunch with a view of Sra Srang Lake and then return to your hotel by a vehicle around 2pm. Enjoy the evening at your leisure; your guide will be happy to recommend some dining options. Meals: BL Accommodation: Riversoul ​ Day 3. Transfer Siem Reap to Kampong Thom & Cycle Sambor Prei Kuk 55km cycling Today you begin your adventure from Siem Reap to Saigon. Starting with an early pickup from the hotel, we have a 2.5 hour drive to reach Kampong Thom, the neighbouring province to Siem Reap. We set off on a ride north of the town to find the sprawling complex of pre-Angkorian temples known as Sambor Prei Kuk. These ruins date back as far as the 7th century and are remarkably intact for their age. The leafy surrounds and absence of tourists makes this a really special experience. After we see out the heat of the day in the shade, we return to Kampong Thom by a different route and enjoy a tasty, authentic meal. Meals: BLD Accommodation: Sambor Village Hotel ​ Day 4. Transfer & Cycle to Phnom Penh 45km cycling Following a laid back start in order to time our day correctly, we drive around three hours to Oudong Mountain, the former capital of Cambodia, and today a hilltop temple with fine views. We enjoy a Cambodian style picnic and then take an afternoon ride on lovely village roads and trails, mostly unpaved. We zig zag our way through rice fields and farmland, passing Oudong's smaller brother, Basset Mountain. Crossing a recently refurbished but as yet un-operational railway line, the scenery changes rapidly. For those comfortable cycling in traffic you can ride right up to the hotel door. For those that are not game, the support vehicle awaits. Dinner tonight will be had by the Tonle Sap River, not far from where the three main rivers of Cambodia converge. Meals: BLD Accommodation: Ohana Palace Hotel ​ Day 5. Cycle the Islands of the Mekong, Afternoon Free to Explore 30km cycling This morning we take to bikes again and explore the nearby Mekong islands where we pass through charming village communities, fruit orchards, traditional silk weaving workshops and a variety of temples from a more recent time. This is a highlight ride and gives a unique perspective to Phnom Penh and its surrounds. Phnom Penh has a turbulent history. Little more than a collection of wooden shacks when the French first arrived, the colonials transformed it into a beautiful city. With the evacuation of the city by the Khmer Rouge in 1975 its decay and decline began, with regeneration and rapid economic development only a recent trend. Your guide can dispense a great deal of advice on how the city can be explored and will offer a late afternoon walk to introduce you to some of the lesser-known aspects of this eccentric city Meals: BL Accommodation: Ohana Palace Hotel ​ Day 6. Morning Free & Boat to Chau Doc Today we are off the bike. In the morning we can have a bit of leisure to enjoy the pool or a bit of wonder around Phnom Penh. After an early lunch we board the international boat down the Mekong River and enter Vietnam via Chau Doc, a bustling Delta town with a specialisation in salted fish. Meals: BLD Accommodation: Chau Pho Hotel ​ Day 7. Cycle to Long Xuyen 75km cycling Our Delta adventure starts in earnest today. The first of many short ferry rides comes after about 15km and the rest of the day will involve crossing numerous canals by bridge and boat and following a path through the maze of waterways. You will likely be struck by the fertility of the land as every square inch is cultivated for food production and each person in sight works hard to grow, harvest, process or transport these products. The riding is predominantly on small, paved canal paths with only bicycles and motor scooters. We roll into the substantial town of Long Xuyen in the late afternoon. Meals: BLD Accommodation: Dong Xuyen Hotel ​ Day 8. Cycle & Boat to Can Tho 70km cycling Our final ride of the group trip continues on canal paths which become even more interesting as we go. The countryside is just as scenic as yesterday, but with an even higher concentration of canals and the farm produce now includes large hanging fruit such as jackfruit. We encounter mat weaving and wooden boat building today as well as yet another amazing lunch. We finish up with a boat ride and arrive into the pleasant, bustling town of Can Tho in the late afternoon. Meals: BLD Accommodation: Kim Tho Hotel ​ Day 9. Floating Markets & Transfer to Saigon An early morning visit to the floating markets is on offer today. It's an impressive site with boats of varying sizes and all manner of fruit and vegetables being bought and sold. After breakfast, we pack up and board the van for a 3 hour drive into Saigon. After lunch we enjoy a walking tour of the city centre and major historical sites such as the Opera House, former Presidential Palace, and Ben Thanh Market. This evening we enjoy a celebratory/farewell group dinner. Meals: BLD Accommodation: Emm Hotel Saigon ​ Day 10. Explore Saigon by Vespa; Free Afternoon For those heading out: Transfer to the airport is provided. For those staying on in Vietnam: This morning we enjoy a unique tour on the back of a vintage Vespa. With an experienced driver maneuvering the busy city streets, you can just sit back and relax as we zoom by famous Saigon sites as well as discover some gems that most visitors never even hear about or see. We'll take you through the Chinese district, stop to see a sweet smelling flower market, and visit a breathtaking yet hidden Buddhist pagoda. Also visit the must-see landmarks such as the famous Saigon Cathedral & Post Office which were designed by Gustave Eiffel. Finally, get a brief history lesson in front of the Reunification Palace before concluding with a tasty lunch at Café Zoom. Enjoy this afternoon at your leisure, perhaps paying a visit to the War Remnants Museum to gain powerful insight into the history of the country, or wandering the streets to find some more good eats, or simply relaxing by your hotel pool. Meals: BL Accommodation: Emm Hotel Saigon ​ Day 11. Fly to Hoi An; Free Day After breakfast this morning we fly to the central coast of Vietnam. The small city of Hoi An has a long history dating back as far as the first century, but is known mostly for its role as a trading port for Chinese and Japanese sea merchants during the 17th and 18th centuries. The beauty of the town was miraculously spared the damage that many towns suffered during the American-Vietnam war and today Hoi An is a UNESCO world heritage listed town that cannot be compared to anywhere else in Indochina. It is an intriguing, photogenic old town, located just a short distance from a beautiful beach where you can sit and sip a coconut. The town is packed with eating options and there is lots of beautiful stuff to spend money on and take home for your loved ones. There is also the famous tailoring, although a little less cost effective these days, the Tailors of Hoi An are legendary and can turn out a suit or a formal dress in as little as 2 days. Meals: B Accommodation: MGallery Royal Hoi An or Emm Hotel Hoi An ​ ​ ​ Day 12. Bike & Kayak Hoi An 25 cycling Our ride this morning begins by exploring the hidden passageways and winding alleyways of Hoi An, stopping to photograph the iconic Japanese bridge. Crossing first the canal bridge near the night market, we continue to the new metal bike bridge connecting Hoi An proper and its southern villages.

    The Study on Regional Development of the Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville Growth Corridor in The Kingdom of Cambodia PART I: IMMEDIATE ACTIONS FOR SPECIAL PROMOTION ZONE 1. Conclusions and Recommendations for Special Promotion Zone1 1.01 Role of Growth Corridor Area for Economic Development The Growth Corridor area is where the strength of economic development is highest in Cambodia. The area should accommodate new industries in Cambodia to diversify the export commodities and accumulate new technologies. Particularly, the Municipality of Sihanoukville in the hinterland of the Port of Sihanoukville, the only deep seaport of Cambodia, will be a strategically important area for the future of Cambodia, in parallel with the western suburbs of Phnom Penh around the international airport. Specific development strategies and projects discussed in this Study need to be contemplated as a basis for regional development planning of Growth Corridor area. 1.02 Strong Measures Necessary to Diversify Growth Base To prepare for the probable removal of national export quotas and increasing advocacy of regional free trade, Cambodia must diversify its export commodities and export markets. Cambodia needs to diversify the export industries primarily by Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) with necessary technologies and capital, and enhance domestic industries that could provide interactions. Better utilization of local resources other than labor will have to be promoted to increase the value of the resources. Nonetheless, the climate of investment environment of Cambodia is not bright, with unstable domestic conditions and severe international competition, particularly after the accession of China to World Trade Organization (WTO). Cambodia needs to device strong and effective measures to attract FDI by establishing legal base and pilot area with good infrastructure with competitive prices.

    Kampot of the Belle Epoque: From the Outlet of Cambodia to a Title Colonial Resort(<Special Issue>New Japanese Scholarship in Cambodian Studies) Author(s) Kitagawa, Takako Citation 東南アジア研究 (2005), 42(4): 394-417 Issue Date 2005-03 URL http://hdl.handle.net/2433/53808 Right Type Departmental Bulletin Paper Textversion publisher Kyoto University Southeast Asian Studies, Vol. 42, No. 4, 東南アジア研究 March 2005 42巻 4 号 Kampot of the Belle Époque: From the Outlet of Cambodia to a Colonial Resort KITAGAWA Takako* Abstract Historical studies about Cambodia have paid little attention to regional factors, and historians have been hardly able to give much perspective about the history of particular regions within the country. Therefore, this paper looks at Kampot as it was during the French colonial period in order to understand the foundations of present-day Kampot. Presently, Kampot is the name of a province and its capital city, which face the Gulf of Thailand. During the colonial period, it was an administrative center for the circonscription résidentielle that extended over the coastal region. The principal sources for this paper are the “Rapports périodiques, économiques et politiques de la résidence de Kampot,” from 1885 to 1929, collected in the Centre des Archives d’Outre-Mer in Aix-en-Provence, France. Drawing from the results of our examination, we can recognize two stages in the history of Kampot. These are (1) the Kampot of King Ang-Duong, and (2) modern Kampot, which was con- structed by French colonialism. King Ang-Duong’s Kampot was the primary sea outlet for his landlocked kingdom.

  • MILITARY ASSISTANCE 1974-1 975 Introduction the Period 1974-1 975 Was Characterized by Khmer Comnunist Forces Continually Mainta
    CHAPTER N INE MILITARY ASSISTANCE 1974-1 975 Introduction The period 1974-1 975 was characterized by Khmer Comnunist forces continually maintaining pressure on GKR forces protecting Phnom Penh and periodically mounted major assaults against it. The second major attack on Phnom Penh in January 1974, dwarfed the first offensive against the capital in August 1973; in that more artillery, rockets and ground troops were utilized in multiple, although relatively uncoordinated, assaults. Subsequent to major offensives against the capital, the enemy mounted selective attacks on major pro- vincial capitals in order to maintain the initiative, tie down potential reserves, and keep psychological and military pressure on the GKR. Simul- taneously and progressively, the KC either permanently interdicted or intermittently cut all GKR land lines of communication, particularly the roads into Phnom Penh. By early 1974, Phnom Penh's only reliable source of adequate resupply was the lower Mekong River LOC. Curing the 1974 Wet Season, FANK pursued a major operation in the Bassac area southeast of Phnom Penh. FANK was also forced to respond continually to KC provincial initiatives at a level of combat intensity which did not as in previous wet seasons abate appreciably. As a result, FANK did not retain and refit as in previous wet seasons and was not pre- pared for the major KC assault which was launched on 1 January 1975 with 139 two objectives: complete interdiction of the Mekong LOC and seizure of Phnom Penh. This chapter will discuss the United States Military Assistance Program to Cambodia during the period 1974-1975. As did chapters five and seven, it will focus on the Military Equipment Delivery Team, Cambodia (MEDTC).
