Hi Alrikki,

great trip report, it looks like quite an adventure. Thanks for all the hard work putting your route into Google Earth - It's amazing to see how isolated the track it from the satellite images.

I see that you did this back in Jan 2009 and the ride from Koh Kong to O Som took you around 2-3 days according to your report. The road looks crazy, and like one hell of a ride.

The thing I can't work out is that Bill just posted this recent trip report:

and did Koh Kong to O Som in 3 hours!

Can you tell me, is it the same route you took or a completely different one? If it is the same route, they must have overhauled the road entirely.

I'm planning to do (S'Ville - Koh Kong - O Som - Pursat - PP - S'Ville) around April 10th - 14th 2010 with 2 other guys.

Thanks mate, G

they've resurfaced or built a new road through now.

Thanks, I hadn't seen that road report before. It now looks much easier on the Koh Kong - O Som route than it was when you guys went.
