The first thing everyone says when you tell them you're riding in Cambodia is Hello !! LAND MINES!!
Yes they're still a major problem in Cambodia and clearing of land mines is still happening to this very day, but there's a few simple rules that everyone follows.
STAY ON THE TRACKS! Don't be an idiot and venture off into the bush in unknown areas, most of the Cambodians follow well worn tracks through the jungle. All types of transport use these tracks on a daily basis, even in the remote parts Ox Carts and farmers follow well worn tracks through the remote areas.
OBEY THE SIGNS! Where there are known danger areas with lots of mines you will see the below sign on fences and trees ... follow rule number one stay on the tracks! Generally they will be actively clearing mines in these areas and you may even see teams of workers clearing the mines on the side of the track.
Avoiding remote area travel in Cambodia is plain ridiculous, stick with your guides and keep on the path, this way you'll get to enjoy some of the most beautiful and under developed parts of Asia!
