I am just back from Cambodia! Had a nice ride from Snooky to Klaeng.
- Road to 1st river crossing is made of hard compact soil/gravel.
- 1st river crossing is on a platform connected by 2 small boats.
- Road from 1st river to 2nd river has nice compact soil/gravel too.
- 2nd river crossing is on a platform connected by 2 small boats.
- Road from 2nd river to 3rd river is fun if you are on a dirt bike. Lots of road works along the way, with loose soil/mud along the way. Dusty red sand everywhere as well.
- 3rd river crossing is on a big boat, where bikes cross with cars/trucks.
- Road from 3rd to 4th river is a little challenging, with up/down slopes on loose soil/gravels. Can see that road works are on the way, and should complete by end of the year.
- 4th river crossing is also on a big boat, where bikes cross with cars/trucks.
Took me 4hrs to get from Sihanoukville to Koh Kong as the ride is pretty smooth and on certain stretches, I can easily cruise at 80-90km/h on my dirt bike. After crossing the main bridge from Koh Kong to Khlong Yai border, there is a toll plaza and bikes need to pay 1200 Riels. I cleared the customs shortly and rode to Trat, Chantaburi, and then stayed over at Klaeng.
Stayed at the Klaeng Palace Hotel, located near the junction of Route 3 and Route 344. Next to the hotel, there is a eating house. I had the best Thai fried rice and Tom Yum Kung ever.... Simply too delicious to describe how it tasted like!
