If you decide to head out into to the more remote areas, you'll soon be taken back by the hospitality and friendliness of the Cambodian villagers.
Over the past two visits we stopped and stayed with numerous villagers along the way and their welcoming nature was such a pleasure after a hard day of biking. Here you can see they brought us a whole bunch of two minute noodles and freshly brewed tea that hit the spot.
When we were riding up the hills on our way to Mondrulkiri we pulled into this very small and remote village, we needed a break and just stopped to say hi. Sophal our Cambodia guide (GURU) got chatting to these villagers and they had some spare gas so we could fill up the bikes for the next leg of the journey. The little old lady came out with a watering can and then started to fill us up! This place was so remote they have barely anything so getting petrol was the last thing on our minds at the time!
Since we were on such a roll Sophal asked if we can buy any food off them. Their answer was "We have small snakes & Jelly" at the time we were thinking what?? But yes they had small snakes or jelly lollies which they had acquired from somewhere! In need of a good sugar fix we mowed down a bag of jellies while the bikes got filled up. Just another great experience in the middle of the jungle!
"No Snakes Just Jelly Please!"
